accomplishments?

ever have one of those days where you feel like you do a TON but no one really notices? I guess the only way to get people to notice is to not do stuff....ha! That always gets a reaction.
I am so excited that we are T-4 weeks until closing! the house is going really quickly.
There has been the disappointments...everything is going swimmingly and then you discover when the big plastic bubble is off your house that the stucco is shockingly darker than you thought....(or as Andrew says, "it looks like poo.") Not so great. Here I am thinking we've done a pretty good job of picking out contrasting colors of brick and stucco, and now it's all one monochromatic color. sigh. money is short, can't afford for it to be painted--hopefully once the fascia and soffits are up it won't be so one color. At least the inside looks good.
We are looking forward to tile, cabinets, soffits, fascia, garage door and possibly carpet in the next week....oh, i hope, i hope, i hope.
We did go out and buy a table for the kitchen so that we won't have to eat on the floor, so that'll be nice to get the week we move in.
Why is January so long? Zoe has been barfing, Beck has a nasty congestion/cough problem, Andrew's conveniently at work making money, I feel like I've done nothing but clean and wash all day, and yet there's not a whole lot to show for my tiredness.....And yet someday I know I'll look back and miss being a young mom (just not today).

Jill, I know how you feel. It seems like I work hard all day cleaning, fixing meals, cleaning again, fixing meals again, put the kids to bed and start over. Sometimes I wonder if I'm a good mom and wife. Sometimes I feel like I got a lot done. But most of the time I feel like I can't keep on top of it all and feel tired. Just know that other moms out there know how you feel. The kids smiles and laughs make everything worth it! I know I will miss this stage as well. I find myself every day wanting to stop time. It seems Hunter is growing up way too fast! Good luck with everything on the house. How exciting! Love you guys!
