The Eagle has landed
(thanks Amy for clearing that up) Once I received news from Nanny Marsh that dad had arrived in Timmins I started running around saying the bird has landed and even though I knew it just didn't seem to sound right I couldn't put my finger on it. So as I mentioned, Dad is in Canada. I can now call him and it doesn't cost me like $50 for a 30 minute conversation.
Mike and JJ are still hitting hard at the basement. Poor guys have been working on it near non-top. They'll go all night until 2-3 am. I actually had to go out Saturday night and tell them to shut off the saw at like 2 am because I was worried they would wake the neighbours. We're almost done though. I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. The floor is laid, the paint is on the wall, the light fixtures are up. They are now just putting up trim, baseboards, mouldings that sort of thing. Finishing touches, the problem is these touches are now so obvious with everything else done that they have no choice but to finish it.
Girls and boy are still doing great. Everybody is adjusting to school and preschool and well I think Josh is adjusting Nanny to a toddler. You can't turn your back on him for one second or he's standing on the table, or the island or using your laptop as a trampoline or your straightener to stir the toilet water with .. it's just awful. Not to mention it's only the beginning of it so I suspect I have another 6 months or a year of this to go.
I am keeping busy with work and extra contracts, not to mention cleaning my little heart out. It's sort of like when JJ goes out to sea and the night before he comes home I find myself scrubbing in between the tiles with a toothbrush .. except this time it's my Dad coming home and luckily for me the house is pretty new so it doesn't require a whole lot of intense scrubbing.
I just love Auntie Berta's new blog updater thing, just forced me into posting out of guilt though so I wasn't on the bottom of the list! Hope all is going for everyone in blogland!
