Lifestyles of the Tired and Exhausted

Oh man am I tired! And exhuasted! This is 'supposed' to be our last week in the apartment. I say 'supposed' to be because we do have a few extra days to play around with if need be. Basically, we are SO ready to move; we just have to make sure we have a fully functioning kitchen before we go. Right now, we have almost all the cabinetry hung, and that's not even a big deal if we don't have a knob on here or there. That's manageable. We got our floor installed on Monday. It's bee-you-tee-ful!! It's a one-piece linoleum - kind of a terracotta color with a mosaic tile looking theme. I think it came out great. We ordered our countertop and it is supposed to be cut to our measurements on Friday, installed on Monday. So that is really all we are waiting on.

I was at the house all day today. Well, first I spent all morning emptying out our dressers and loading up 5 big black garbage bags and then I blew $300 at Target but I'll get back to that later. :p I set up mine and Vinny's clothes in our new dressers and then started to set up Andrew's room. His crib is so big and blue and boy-ish...I can't wait for him to sleep in it because he is so squished and pathetic in his current mini crib. It served it's purpose but a full-sized crib is long overdue. Back to mine and Vinny's room - how did we order 5 dressers with drawers and cabinets, plus we have a double closet and we still don't have enough room for our clothing? Well, I managed to get it all in there so I am exaggerating a tiny bit but I took up 4 dressers and left Vince with a nightstand. I am feeling a little guilty about it but can I help it if I have more clothes? So as of now, I feel it all worked out but I am just waiting to hear Vinny's mouth when he actually sees the layout and sees how I arranged the drawers. Oh and I took the "good" side of the bed with the two windows above my head. I felt like I was in college getting their before my roomate and picking the good side of the room. :) Before I left the house, my Dad ripped the toilet out. WOOHOO! Finally! So tomorrow, Lauren is babysitting and I am tackling the bathroom. First two things of importance on my list are mopping the floor and contact papering the cabinets.

I think I could probably go on and give more details but honestly, I am tired. Did I say that already? I can't remember what I told you all and what I haven't at this point so just trust me that it is coming along beautifully and I promise to have pictures to share soon!
