This is another shot from our honeymoon. I think we were 12.
My Mom and D sold their house yesterday. They will be down here in less than a month. Woot!
Well, the destruction of the current tile has begun:
They took a ton of tile out yesterday while I was gone. So I thought it was amazing and I was very impressed with how quickly they worked. They were also very kind and quiet. But once they knew that I spoke Spanish they became very talkative and friendly. I was glad that they got so much done while I was out all day.
And then came this morning.
I am locked in my bedroom, slowly going mad. Or maybe not so slowly. I could not imagine how loud sledge hammers on tiles are. Let's just say ..... Loud. Very, very loud.
And the cats seem to feeling a big insecure so they're climbing all over me.
The hammering has now moved into the foyer, which is outside my bedroom. I need something mind-altering --- it's 5:00 somewhere, right? I'm KIDDING!!
In other news Daughter #2 broke her foot at camp a couple of days ago. She's still there and insists she's fine and can drive herself home later today. I have no power and evidently no intelligence when it comes to broken feet and the wisdom of using them to drive. Oh well.
OK, I have to get out of this house before I really do go mad. As in stark raving. I am definitely teetering on the edge!!
I keep trying to focus on the wonderful outcome!!
Please disregard any news flashes you may see about a housewife going crazy and hurling broken tiles at workers. Or sitting on a roof, curled in a fetal condition, refusing to come down.
Really. Pay no never mind.

I'm locked in my bedroom with a dog and 4-year old while our tile is being replaced. I feel your pain.
What can I say . . . I just love demolition . . . hang in there . . . be glad you are not taking the tile out yourself . . . you will be surprised how dry the air will be inside your house with the concrete sucking all the moisture out . . . stay hydrated!
Okay hopefully you have a sense of humor if not do not read the rest of my comment . . . when a man who was happily married loses his wife he remarries quickly on the other hand when a woman who was happily married loses her husband she hires a decorator . . .
maybe you can ask if they'll let you hack away with a sledgehammer along with them? might be therapeutic... :) it was a fun surprise to see you today! I had a passel of kids... went to see Kung Fu Panda, that was cute :)
Hey Babe! Hang in there. It will all be worth it when it's finally finished.
I told my boss today that I was leaving the end of the month. He really was great about it. Wonders never cease. He said he understood and family always comes first. What a shocker. He also thanked me for giving him notice. So that's taken care of. Now the packing and getting ourselves there! Can hardly wait. David says you must want us in jail...we don't have the code to turn off the alarm. LOL Yeah...we might need that.
Oh!!! I don't have to go to San Antonio! He's sending Patsy instead. Yaaayyyyyyyyy! Gives me mores time to pack up.
Take care and hold on to the old sanity. You are still loved lots and lots and still in our prayers. See you soon.
Oh wow, I knew you were brave, but jeez! I give you even more credit to deal with that kind of chaos, that sort of thing gives me hives just thinking about it. I LOVE that picture and you're right, you both look 12 and sweet as can be.

I'm with Wendee! Get a sledghammer and start pounding!
but wear some really good headphones/earplugs!! (we have some of those Bose earphones that block out noise and play nature sounds)
or, just come down here!
Love you, K
I love the fact that you are standing in front of a neon sign the reads "Dazzles" in that picture. The round, velvet chairs in the background only make it better. Just pray that your decorator doesn't go in that direction with your kitchen.
For Mom and D...
Uh...yeah, get the code...we don't need the police called on you again for trying to break into another house...wasn't there some kind of issue like that on a trip to Aunt Kathy's????
(your comment made me remember that and I got a chuckle...so I thought I'd share!! LOL)
XOXO
Love and miss you all

To K in AK: D brought up that very thing when he said we'd be going to jail. We both laughed hard on that one. And it was a trip to my mother's house in California. What a hoot. July 2005 all over again.
