Catching up, yet again! I haven't blogged during Maddy's nap lately since I haven't been home a whole lot during her nap this weekend. Matt's mom and I went out to Lowes and picked out lighting and paint colors. I have to say, I really had a blast with that! On Sunday we went out and looked at window treatment (shades/blinds) options. That wasn't quite as fun, but fun none the less.
Saturday AM we all went over to the house to get some estimates on paint. Holy cow, the estimate that came back gave me quite a bit of sticker shock. Don't get me wrong, it's a lot of work I want done, but I'm having three other guys come tomorrow during our continuation of the home inspection for more estimates.
The home inspection was started but then put off today. The home owner turned off the gas so a lot of the inspection couldn't take place. Matt will go tomorrow at 1 to finish it off. I cannot with Maddy's nap and I don't want her missing another one. Plus, Matt wants to walk around with the guy to see the place and the stuff he's inspecting.
Add in that I got most of the stuff done today that I needed to get done while I was there: window measurements, room measurements, assessing lighting, taking pictures, I really don't need to do anything else tomorrow.
The weekend was extremely hot. We filled Maddy's little pool and it was like bath water by the time she went in it in the afternoon after the sun was around and it was shady. But she's been loving it. She especially loves to eat Popsicles on the deck in her suit since she can drip all over and just get in the pool to rinse off! I have pictures, but I haven't put them up yet. I'll get them up either later tonight or tomorrow.
Tonight I'm getting together for coffee with my friend Karen! I'm excited for that. Tomorrow AM Maddy and I will go to school to see the 'my kids' one last time before the end of the year. My 'kids' have graduation on Thursday so I will be going to that as well. Saturday AM I have breakfast with Rosanna and then my hair appointment in the afternoon! Yippie! I need a bit of a cut. I felt bad since I totally forgot about it this last Saturday and missed my appointment without calling. Oops.
Maddy's been having a hard time going to sleep lately. She's been knocking for more rocking after bed. I know it's because it's more sunny, but she's really tired going to bed. We went up twice tonight but finally the third time she knocked we went up and gave her a hug/kiss and laid her back down. She cried for about 30 seconds but I'm not starting up this 'it takes 45 minutes' to go to bed after being put in bed after her bedtime routine is already a good 45 minutes as it is now.
Off to hang out with Matt before I go out! Have a good night!
