NOT ME Monday

Hello friends and family!  I am dying to share some of the amazing before and after pics, or as I say the before and transitional pictures.  The final touches won't arrive until mid-March!!  Until we unpack the computer and I can access my picture files again, this simple entry on the laptop will have to do.  It's that time and although I have a million other things to be doing and writing about, here goes some things about the last hectic and exciting week, and as you will see still very interesting...


NOT ME!!!!!!
---I am not sitting here in the Living Room staring at my professional grade, 6-burner stove and dreaming of the day when I can actually cook in and on it!!  It's literally in the middle of my floor, awaiting installation on Wednesday.

---I am not complaining about the fact that after 2 weeks, I am soooooo over eating out!!

---I am not tired of going out into my garage every time I need something out of the fridge.  Do you realize how much you go into that crazy thing in one day, especially when you are trying to drink more water??

---I didn't really have to go the laundry-mat AGAIN this past week even though I received the best Valentine's gift ever (a commercial size, front loading, way too technical washer and dryer!!)

---I am not complaining about being short until I stand in my new kitchen and realize that to access almost all of the cabinets I need a step stool!  (Boy is it gorgeous though!)

---I am not tired of only having a love seat in our living room (although I should be grateful as it forces Trevor and I closer together!!)

---I did not go out to eat at nicer restaurants this past week in a ballcap, no make-up, and "leisure" clothes!!

---I did not tell Grayson to have "quiet" feet this past week because I was going through a little withdrawl having to let that phrase go out of my vocabulary!!  (JK-I started to tell him only to realize he can be as loud as he wants, there's no one downstairs who'll be banging back at him!!)

---I did not enjoy Valentine's dinner with my 2 boys at Buffalo Wild Wings!!!!  (Yes, I'm serious.  Grayson's fever broke and he was starving and requested this!!)

Thank you Lord for an amazing week, and although we missed many of the big events of the week and weekend, we are all 3 enjoying life, sort of.  Grayson has had a little of the flu funk and Trevor caught something today.  I have been totally fine as are my mom and sister who were here to help last week.  Grayson's fever came and went and returned, so he'll miss another day of school tomorrow!  Keeps me home from "the Office", but getting the house in order quicker!!  Can't wait to hug ya'll and catch up a little Wednesday morning or later on this week!!
