Not To Complain...

...but I'm sick of having my house in disrepair.  I've put my microwave, toaster oven, and blender in the dining room just so I can make breakfast and some sort of meal for dinner (we reheated pasta fagioli and had sandwiches last night) but it is now officially OLD! I'm ready to at least have access to my kitchen sink! 

That being said, Jim thinks we'll finish tonight.  With laying tile, that is.  Grouting will come Tuesday. I'm not so sure this is realistic but then I didn't think we'd get to laying tile this weekend after seeing what we had to remove. And Jim has incentive because he just committed to painting the kitchen of a neighbor across the way on Wednesday.  I guess if I have to do grouting by myself, that's okay. 

So the progress made:  We've gotten all the whole tiles laid except for the small path up from the family room.  I blocked the kitchen off so that we still had that access so we could get in an out of the family room and let the dogs out through the Florida room.  By the time I get home, the tile should be set for light traffic.  I actually can step in on  untiled areas and climb on the counter to get to the dishwasher so that's good. Tonight, we'll do all the cut stuff...we shouldn't have to use the wet saw too much because tile this large is best cut using a scorer.  I just keep thinking, "This time next week I'll be sleeping, this will all be done and my new fridge will be coming." That keeps me going.

In school news and I know I've said this before but I have absolutely NO idea what I'm doing today in LA.  I really don't! I just finished a project with the kids but I'm not quite ready to start our next book (Catching Fire) and I forgot to go get Hunger Games (the movie) to show prior to reading Catching Fire (for those who haven't read HG).  UGH!  I may just have the kids do their Wednesday work today and go get the movie today after school and start the movie tomorrow.  Ugh! 

K - well, I better go and figure all this out.  Later!  Happy Monday.  Can you believe Thanksgiving is two weeks from Thursday (as is my birthday!)?  K - Later!
