I woke up today feeling very tired, almost to the point where I was ready to call in for the day and fall back asleep. Instead I managed to get myself into the shower and then to work. Afterall, today I am only working half day from the office.
Once here though, I've been completely out of sorts. I've managed to get a lot done, yet I feel like i've done nothing all day.
I went online to pay a couple bills (car payment, car insurance), faxed our last water bill from our old house to the title company so we can get our money back from the hold, and then signed Brooklyn up for swim "class."
That swim class is something I am really looking forward to...I can't wait to see Miss Brooklyn splish-splash around in the water! When they say it's a "class," it's only because it's held at the western Tri-C campus, but it is for 6mo - 3 year olds, so by no means are the babies learning to swim!
Aside from that, my mind is just racing with "what is going on at the house" kind of thoughts. We haven't been there since Saturday at about noon, and I think they were working there Saturday, so by the time we drive by tonight there will have been four working days' worth of work that we haven't seen!
I am somewhat preparing myself to be disappointed when we go by tonight, but at the same time, we are under roof so I can't imagine the work is being held up by any of the rain we are getting.
The things I am mostly wondering about are the shingles, the siding/brick/shutters, the plumbing and the electrical. Mostly the exterior, since that is the pretty stuff!
I must also confess something else - I feel like our house looks small. I keep telling myself that it is 2100 square feet, and that the model (which was actually smaller) looked big, so I know it will all come together, but for right now I feel like it looks small!
Part of why I think it looks small might be due to the fact that the main floor is very open. The kitchen, breakfast room, and family room are all just one big space - especially before adding in different flooring between the rooms, and the pillar. Another reason why it might seem so small is simply because with no drywall you can see straight through the house.
Okay, time to pack up my computer and head home. Shift #2 awaits me! (As well as my playdate and a couple piles of laundry!)
