Never Ending...

Doesn't it seem like there is always something you need to do to your house when you're a homeowner? I mean its never-ending!!! Here's just a small list of the things I would love to have done... and believe me there are plenty more but I won't bore you for too long...

-New front door... one w/o dents and preferably more glass to let some more light in! I know this means I'll have to watch what I'm wearing b/c of nosey neighbors and whatnot... Don't worry they don't have the internet so I know they don't read this!!!
-New back deck... if you can even call it a deck! Its so small and pitiful... the wood it all dry and cracked. I'm worried Bubba's gonna get splinters in his knees from crawling up and down it this summer.. there aren't any railings and the steps down are terrible. Not to mention its on cinder blocks... so that's real classy. (I blame the people that lived here before us!!)
-New light fixture for Bubba's new room. We officially have bunk beds!! I love them soo much. They were on sale so we just had to go for it. Bubba really likes them too. He's always wanting to go into his new room and play on the bunk beds. But there was a ceiling fan in there before... so that obviously is not going to work out now. I just saw the ad for Menards though... they have some fixtures on sale we might just have to go! We were lucky JDub and I both had twin beds until we got married... no need to buy mattresses!
-New bedding for Bubba's new room... Since he'll be in a big boy bed we'll need to upgrade and get him some new bedding... That stuff isn't cheap either!! Especially since w'ell have to do it double time!

SIDE NOTE: Bubba officially used the big boy potty again last night!! And I DIDN'T traumatize him this time :) So hey who knows.... maybe we'll only have one child in diapers by the end of the summer... it could happen right?

-JDub seems to think we need to paint the house... Which is probably true. Who even knows when the last owners did it. And we have that composite stuff so it does need to be painted every once in a while or whatever. I really wouldn't mind doing it... I don't hate painting... I just don't see how we'll get that down with an almost 2 year old and a newborn!?

Ok ok... I'm probably boring everyone... but yea there's a lot of stuff that needs to get done around here... but as you all know it requires time and money... neither of which I think we'll have an abundance of once this new little one comes! I am officially 37 weeks along... I made it further this pregnancy than with Bubba.... don't know how happy I am about it... but what can you do. I guess God had a different plan for us this time around. I'm definately the heaviest I've ever been in my life... but for good cause I guess. At least I'm not all swollen and can still wear my wedding rings!

  1. We also have a lot of projects that we would like to get done this summer. We will see how that goes! The main thing is the boards on the back porch, then we could fix the siding...etc...etc!
