Thanks everybody!! Teresa had her surgery today and everything went fine!!!! She should be in her own room by tomorrow.

The kids are at work tonight so I have the place to myself. Y'all should have seen me standing on top of the kitchen counter painting above the cabinets last night!! Dustin was unpacking and we had the music going and we just talked and laughed almost all night...he even danced with me in the kitchen after I climbed down, lol!!

The kitchen wall is now chocolate brown. It's actually pretty, lol! I just have one more wall to finish the suede treatment on tomorrow..then I'll be DONE!! The stupid ceilings are cathedral, and on one wall I'll have to put the ladder on the stairs. I told Dustin if I fell and broke a hip I would have to stay in Seattle a loooong time. He said he might just push me off the ladder so I would HAVE to stay:p

Oh... I'm using Ralph Lauren Suede paint. You roll on the first coat...with a special roller of course:rolleyes: Then after it dries, you go back over it with a 3 inch brush making x's. It really does have a soft suede finish, but I'll NEVER do it again on such a large area!!!

I'm having fun but I'm ready to get home. Kinda miss the hubby and the dogs:rolleyes:

I feel the excitement in your post Betsi!!!!!!!! So glad everything is going well with your sil!!!!

Standing on top of the kitchen counter and painting! Music playing, dancing and laughing with your son, oh Betsi that does sound like a wonderful night!! Right now I am so missing my sons!!!!! You are a great mom!!!

Try to get a pic of that wall and do be careful on that ladder:):) Get home safe to Mike and the doggies:)

By the way, how is she doing?

She's doing well. Hopefully she will get to come home this weekend:D

I'm glad that you're home, Betsi!!!

Glad you're home Betsi!!!! We missed ya:)

Welcome home Betsi! It must be good to be back. I missed you, and hope Teresa is doing okay.

Thanks! We went to see Teresa today. The doc said she might come home this morning, but she has a little fluid buildup around her heart, and she wasn't feeling very well today. Hopefully the medicine will work and she will come home Monday.

I am so sorry I didn't keep up with this thread....I need to pay better attention. Glad you're home safe and sound. Hopefully Theresa will be able to come home on Monday. Keeping her in my prayers.
