I just realized that we start MAPP classes 2 weeks from tomorrow. Two. Weeks. It seems time flies when you're busier than a one legged man in a butt-kicking contest. Two weeks from now + 5 weeks of class + 2 to 3 weeks of lag time waiting for the case worker to schedule the start of our Home Study = a TON less time than I had in my head originally!
This all means that we will be spending the next holiday weekends (Thanksgiving and Christmas/New Years) getting the house ready. Here's the to-do list for us between now and then:
- Order and assemble to bedroom set we found for the bedroom for our future kiddo.
- Finish the flooring in places downstairs and all of upstairs.
- Decide what we're doing with the bathroom and get it done. (We have a new vanity and sink, but need to decide what sort of flooring to put in there and need to repair the (badly done) patches in the drywall.)
- We need to paint the room that we will be putting said future kiddo in.
- Child-proofing (and really parent-proofing) equipment needs to be installed.
- More smoke detectors need to be purchased, including one that flashes a light for when/if we are able to adopt a Deaf child.
- The garage needs to look less like a bomb went off.
- Last but certainly not least....I need to scrub down everything....floor to ceiling.
Me thinks it's time to cut down on the work hours a bit if I can. Forty to fifty hour work weeks aren't conducive to getting anything accomplished at home and I feel bad leaving Mama S to do all the work.
So....anyone know anything about tiling? Their efforts will be paid for by tasty meals and many thank-yous! ;-)
