Oh my gosh I love manicures and pedicures too, and haven't had one in ages! Money is tight right now with my upcoming maternity leave and trying to finish renovations on the house, but if things are going well financially the first few months after our little one is born, I should drop hints to Scott that I deserve a spa day for my birthday
Thanks for the idea, Janet!
I have been keeping so busy! My brain is kind of checked out of work already, even though I know I still have lots to get done. I have 3 weeks left, technically, but I have a lot of appointments in that time, one stat holiday (Family Day), and about 3-4 days worth of banked and holiday time I can take before I'm done.
At home, we have our laundry room about 50% complete. I need to prime and paint an old desk we got for free to put my sewing machine on. Scott built this cute little stand for our new wash basin to go beside the washer and dryer. It looks like a little old antique table that I painted white, and the basin sits on top. He is going to build what looks like an old ladder that will hang from the ceiling on chains on top of the washer and dryer, where I can hang up things on hangers to dry! I am so excited for how it is going to look!
Our new mudroom is almost complete. I am finishing up the painting today and Scott will install the shelf and rod in the new closet.
The main floor bathroom is still ripped apart. Scott has to work on the plumbing because we are putting in a bath tub/shower combo where the shower used to be. We have the bath tub and surround already, but just need to have it all installed.
I am running out of hope that our renovation will be done before baby comes! We have to wait until spring anyway to install doors and trim because we need to stain all the new wood doors we bought. We are trying to make everything in the addition match the rest of the original house as closely as possible!
Since I'm too big and clumsy now to help with most of the renovation stuff, I've been busy cooking freezer meals and working on the nursery! So far I have chili, hamburger soup, spaghetti sauce, and cabbage rolls in the freezer. Today I am making sweet and sour beef, and next weekend I will make hashbrown casserole and homemade hamburgers. We should have enough food to last us at probably 1.5 months after baby is born, and it will be good homemade food to just warm up
And for the nursery, right now I am painting three big canvases. I'll post a picture of them when they are done!
Well, I have lots to do so I should probably get off the computer and get working!!!
