You like all those P's?
I thought that was a fun title.
Anyway, a little something extra for your early Saturday morning, when reasonable, I should not be up. I am, however, and have already done the initial pass through of the apartment. All that remains is a good vacuum and our laundry.
Why am I up so early today?
Well, Nemo has a bit of an adventure. My sister and her husband are taking him skiing for the very first time! She's booked a private lesson for the three of them since it'll be her husband's first time as well. It's so exciting, and I'm a little nervous as well. I'm sure they'll have a great time.
Now, tomorrow is another big day in the TK household because Squirt is being baptized. I had a really hard time planning this, and what we decided is not to hold a reception now. It's just too soon for me without my mom, and it's been a hard week thinking of having her here in spirit, not in the flesh. Long story short, we will hold a large birthday party for Squirt in the summer (for those who don't know, he's a July baby) and just celebrate the baptism then. I let all our family / close friends now of the mass and ceremony, in case they wanted to attend. Everyone has been very understanding about the whole thing, and it's just wonderful.
And to think that when we hold said big shindig for little Squirt it'll be at OUR NEW HOUSE!!!!
The inspection went well. There were some minor issues, and some big ones, but nothing that can't be fixed or requested. We'll see what they say and how they respond to our requests, and then we'll move forward.
It's exciting.
And scary.
All at the same time.
Did you know that they don't charge any extra for Disney paint? It's just a version of the Behr paint colors, and it's the same. Oh, did I have a field day at Home Depot yesterday.
The task is overwhelming and exciting all at once. There's not one room in that house that doesn't need to be painted.
Now, I may be an artist, but when you give me a whole house as a canvas, holy carp!!!
On a side note, the seller's hot water heater broke this week, and they just replaced it, so that'll be brand new. Unfortunately, it soaked the carpet in the basement. Their insurance is only covering replacement in one of the rooms, because it saturated the padding underneath.
Well...there is no padding underneath the carpet in the family room.
Honestly? Really?
Not mad at the seller's, just find it absolutely funny how the insurance company can say, hey this one is soaked, but this one doesn't have padding, so even though you can get some mold and mildew growing here, too bad.
Anyway, we'd thought about replacing it, so now we'll just have to. No big deal, I'm not worried. MJS is super handy, and a lot of the repairs we found on the inspection are things that he can do himself if the sellers say no, so that's a good thing.
But now on to the truly terrifying...
the absolute worst...
the thing I most hate about this whole process...
Packing.
And moving.
