remodel

Ben is starting to make a lot of progress on our master bath remodel. He has the walls primered,and painted. The ceiling is very pale shade of green, and the walls are mint green. He has the cabinets, and all the wood work painted white, and has begun to trim out the shower and bathtub areas in decorative tile.

We kept the stone tile we put in 8 years ago in the shower, floor and around the bathtub,but it just didn't look finished. We bought panels of tumbled stone and green glass to finish around the bathtub and shower. We got brushed nickel shower and tub fixtures for 5.00. We also found beautiful cabinet handles for 1.50 each, the same ones at home depot were 19.00 each.

I haven't totaled all our receipts yet. We still have a few more purchases to make, and it will have to be done a little at atime. I hope it is finished by the end of june.

I have to find an alternative for our bathroom mirror. Ours cracked when we rehung itseveral years ago, and need to replace it. i am looking for an inexpensive option.

speaking of cracked, the children have been out of school for one week, and my nerves are completely frazzled. we have not settled into a routine yet, and the disorder is making me nuts. I need to take a deep breath, get a good nights sleep, and get my schedule sorted out. I cannot stand the chaos, and neither can the babies. They are not napping or sleeping well.

I think i need a vacation. I absolutely know once we all go camping next month i will need a serious vacation. Camping is so much work for mommies.

They are all running and screaming, i have to go see what is going on, i wish i had some chocolate, i think i need it....
