alive...

Yes, I am.  There were a few days last week that were questionable though, lol.  Yes, we've been buried with the kitchen.  And I've been slowly recovering from my little ice incident.  But that wasn't enough, apparently...because last week I got strep throat.  Fun times I tell ya.  I do have to say, though, I am so grateful for modern medicine.  Especially when it comes in the form of fast-acting antibiotic shots.  (in spite of the sore rump from squishing that thick liquid through a needle and into me)  24 hours after I got the shot, I was starting to feel human again.  Man, it's been a long long time since I've been so fevered I was shivering and my body hurt so badly I could barely move.   oooh, I'm so glad I'm better!  Brad was great to take care of the kids and house - and thanks to my mom, sister, and aunt for bringing us some yummy meals too...they were VERY appreciated!

Enough sick talk.  I'm feeling better, but my house is waiting for some much needed attention.  Mostly, I'm excited to start organizing this room:

Hooray...it's almost finished!  We just need the electrician to come and finish, then we'll be done done.  We have put some items in the cupboards, but it was mostly just putting stuff wherever, just to get it out of the other rooms of the house.  This week I'll finally be able to sort and organize and give everything it's own little home.  I'm so excited with how it turned out - we're already enjoying it so much more than the old kitchen.  Speaking of the old kitchen...it's going to find a loving new home at my aunt's house - so I'll be able to park in the garage again - hooray...win/win! :o)

  4. Your before-kitchen is so much like mine. I LOVE the idea of putting an island instead of a "peninsula." I need to keep your ideas in mind if we ever decide to tackle such a big project. Thanks for sharing!
