Down to the Wire
Well, this is it. I have just this weekend to get my house in order before we bring the contractor in to look over the house and give us an idea of what can be done on my budget.
Thank goodness I have Monday off, so it’s a three-day weekend. And thank goodness the bedrooms, the bathrooms, and the kitchen are relatively clean. And I don’t have many errands to run. I can go hammer and tongs at the playroom, the library, and the living room. They need it.
Fortunately, a lot of it can be boxed up and taken to the storage building for the time being. And the kids are going to have to get rid of some of the garbage they are keeping … broken toys, streamers from basketball games, used-up colouring books. WE DON’T NEED TO KEEP THIS STUFF! But getting the kids to turn it loose is a tough proposition.
Anyway, we will run errands tonight, and then we have one basketball game in the morning. Sunday morning is, of course, church time. And I have a doctor’s appointment on Monday morning. But after those things, we are free and clear. So we have three-quarters of a day tomorrow, half a day Sunday, and three-quarters of a day Monday. SURELY we can knock out three rooms in two full days of work!
