Day 56: Day 1

First day back to work for him, first day back to AHHHHHH!!! for me.

When he's home I forget how much work it is to look after 2 littles full time, all day, all me. It's tiring! Damn tiring! One is crying for this, one is screaming for this. Three pooey diapers...THREE! Who does three? And a "too late" for the potty, which, by the way, I had her clean herself in a bucket outside.

Reading stories, feeding, chasing after, digging rocks or sticks or leaves out of mouth, looking around at my disaster of a house, thinking about the inlaws coming tomorrow, wondering if I should paint the trim downstairs or wait until the morning...kids in bed, hubby home at 8pm, a quick bite, I painted the trim.

We're going to advertise our suite in the next couple of days. One bedroom for $700 or $750 (I haven't decided yet) all inclusive. I have alot of the previous person's grime to rid. And, knowing me, I will get fixated on some teeny tiny spot behind the faucet that will require a toothpick and a Q-tip to clean. Sounds horrible but is actually kind of fun.

We're at the last of it now. Down to putting up trim, caulking the bathtub/shower surround and sink, and cleaning. It's kind of a weird little kitchen now that the wall is up, but not a bad space for someone and their dog. The trick is setting the right price while offering the right conditions to attract the right person.

Fingers crossed.
