March, oh March, where are you going? This month and 2014 has been pretty crazy in this Hale-raising house.
What's been keeping us so busy?
-DYI house renovations-mostly Mike (though I've pitched in where it felt useful :-) has taken our very poorly laid out (and carpeted) living and dining area and made it lovely. He started by pulling out the nasty blue carpet and removing the useless gas fireplace half wall. Then had to do some rewiring, patch up walls, and then paint them. Then we put in the hardwood laminate through the space and then Mike finished last weekend with the shoe molding. We started the project the day after Christmas but thanks to the next thing that has kept us busy, it finally finished up last weekend and now we are getting the house back together! (Will post a "tour" after we get the last few things back in-my handy hubby did a fantastic job)
-Our unfortunate source of craziness has been sickness. Mike has been hit the worst with a bout of bronchitis and a bad case of yuck, but the boys and I have not escaped either. The boys would miss school and then just when I felt they could be sent back, the next crazy occurrence in our year would keep us home.
-Winter, winter, please don't come back. It was fun to have some real winter weather, but 2 snows, several ice storms have been really harsh on this Southerner who just isn't prepared for that much cold. And just as we think spring is coming in to stay, a bout of cold comes to bring the coats back out. I'm ready for my flip flops to hang out a while and to have a real spring. Winter take a break and summer heat hold of for a bit please! Really hoping that the phrase stays true this year and March goes out like a lamb!
-Children are always crazy and unexpected-that is to be expected! Ready for the boys to be my regular daily craziness again :-).
