Oh, stop complaining!

Two points of view...

#1, I should really stop complaining and just be happy. My biggest complaints (this year) have been about the house and the fact that it isn't going fast enough. Of course a lot of this is just excitement, and some of it is anxiety about closing on the house before Feb. 29...but really, so much has been done, and we really are at the end, so I should stop complaining.

#2, Everytime I complain and I get to the end of my rope...This is usually when I say, "If they aren't there tomorrow, I am calling Robert (the contractor)"...they show up! LOL

So basically, I am at war with whether to complain or not...I am a little superstitious, so I figure if the complaining is working...I should continue to do so. But I am also realistic, so I know that my complaining isn't actually doing anything...its more like these workers have schedules, and they go to a new place each day...oh well, I will probably just keep complaiining, because I am not sure if I could actually stop. LOL

Yesterday the bathroom sinks finally showed up. Unfortunately the toilets didn't....I figured since the sinks and toilets both have to be hooked up to water lines (this may be incorrect...I don't actually know what they have to be hooked up to, but I know it involves a plumber), the plumbers would come out and do them both at the same time. I figured wrong...again. However, Robert (the contractor) happened to be at the house next door, and let me know that the plumbers and toilets would be there today! YAY. They also put the glass doors on the master and guest shower. I guess I am just concerned because I really want to close on the house before the end of the month, and time is running out - stupid February with its short month...J/K. There is still a lot to do on the house, I really hope it is finished by Friday, or I am going to be one mad lady.

I have gotten overwhelmed with my house. I haven't actually cleaned in several weeks, so there are toys everywhere. I haven't vacuumed, or mopped and the laundry is really piling up. Then on Monday I started going through the house and kind of making piles of stuff...it seemed like a good idea at the time...stuff to move, stuff to throw away, stuff to take to goodwill. The problem is that now the kids have gone through those piles and scattered them...EVERYWHERE! So Wednesday night I made a goal to clean the kitchen before going to bed....I ended up doing the dishes, and taking out the trash....So I still have lots to clean in there. On Thursday my goal was to take down the Christmas tree and decorations (I mean...it is February and all) and to go through all the toys and organize...I only got the tree and decorations down. So now I have decided that I am going to continue to make goals each day, but OBVIOUSLY they need to be on a smaller scale. Sooooo..today I am going through the toys, with 2 trash sacks (no more piles for me) On sack will hold toys to go in the trash, and the other sack for toys to donate...and the toys we keep will go IN the toy box. I would also like to get at least 2 loads of laundry done, but it may not happen. Going through toys is going to be rough with the kids around. I am going to try to get them to help with the toys to donate...but seriously, it will probably be easier to just put them all in the bucket and take them to the back of the house where I can go through them with out the kids watching me. So we will see. All I know is I was wanting to start boxing on Monday...and so far the only boxes I have full are the Christmas boxes! LOL

Happy Friday everyone
