Never thought I'd see a day when I said I was tired of Sunshine!!!!

But here ya go! Andy and I spent the ENTIRE weekend painting the living room and kitchen Pale Sunshine. Along w/ a bit of Killz2 as primer... MAN we are so tired.

Andy started prepping and trim while I was at work Friday. It's amazing how much you have to do just to get a room ready to paint.

We stayed up till midnight Friday painting. I did the trim. Andy's discovered he HATES doing trim. I don't mind it. But dang! That was a heck of a lot of trim to do in the living room! The reason I fell in love w/ this house is because of it's size. But DANG!

Got up Sat at 8am, and started again by 8:30. It took us all day. I started on the kitchen later in the day. You guessed it, prep and trim. sigh.

We finally called it quits by 8:30 pm. 12 straight hours of painting. We really didn't take any breaks either. It was more like, eat a slice of pizza while you're eyeing the walls to see if you missed something.

Sunday, same drill.. Andy painted the kitchen while I put the living room back together. It's amazing how much work it is to put a room back together! Especially when you pull down light fixtures to wash and stuff.

Yesterday we put the kitchen back together and started boxing up stuff in the youngest boys' room. Andy said he came up w/ 5 bags of trash! CRAZY! You know, stuff like McDs toys and missing pieces. less we have to move!

I had a doctor's appt, and had to go to the grocery and stuff that I couldn't do all weekend.

So now at this point, all we have left to paint is the laundry room, and our oldest son's room. If we paint that. It won't get done before the house starts showing, but at this point, I could care a less!

This moving stuff is hard work!

Andy is still due to arrive March 17 at our new base. We've gone house hunting and found THE ONE. It's a really nice 4 bedroom 2.5 bath on 5 acres near Sedalia. Hopefully they'll accept our offer. PLEASE LET THEM ACCEPT OUR OFFER!!!

Our house is officially on the market. If anyone knows someone who'd be interested in a 3 bed 2 bath home on 1.5 acres, let me know! It's a gorgeous lot(course I'm prejudice) and we have a HUGE garage. AND the house is mostly freshly painted!^^^^^^^^ LOL!

My plan is to stay in the house until the BIG move, but if I have to I'll get an apartment for me and the boys until school's out. Things are moving FAST now!
