...just the regular stuff...

I couldn't think of anything exciting to title this post. Sorry. It's just a regular Tuesday around here. Laundry going. 3 kids asleep, and 1 getting to watch his Star Wars cartoon. Getting ready to finish up my Beth Moore biblestudy (prepare yourselves...there will probably be another post after biblestudy tomorrow!). Clean sheets have been put on. Sweeping and bathrooms still to do.

I finally got childcare arranged for the kids this weekend. Sigh. This is the 3rd or 4th trip we've had to make in the last 3 months. It's (obviously) for a good reason, but I've had a hard time with leaving the kids....again....for this recent trip. I don't know if it's because we're not normally this "gone". Or if it's the pregnancy that's causing the extra "protectiveness". I think I'm just sensitive to the fact that everything is getting ready to turn upside down in their lives, and I'm trying to protect what little normalcy we have left. I'm SO thankful for the sweet people that are keeping them for us this weekend though. I know they'll have fun. And at least this is the last trip for a while! :)

We had a guy come out this morning to measure for new countertops in the kitchen. We are planning a mini-makeover in their this week. Painting the cabinets and replacing countertops. Everything else in the house (just about) have been updated except that. So we're hoping that helps with the selling process. After all, I know that if I don't like the kitchen in a house, we don't look any further. Just still praying that this is the week!

Our ultrasound is on Thursday - yippee, and then my mom comes in town that night. Josiah has Grandparent Day on Friday, so I'm thrilled that she could come for that. It's going to be a fun few days!!

Isn't it funny how you have to make over a house before you leave it. I know Heather was bummed she was getting new windows only to leave them behind. It would be nice to be able to enjoy the newness!

I hate doing kitchens -- we've redone the kitchen in all 3 houses we have owned -- it's my least favorite thing to do -- but it makes a huge difference! Chris is there in VA now -- I can tell him to drop by this weekend if he's bored and you need the extra hands!

Wow Katie, you have a lot on your plate, but I know how STRONG you are. I think you are amazing and that you will make it through all of this with grace, as always!!!! I will continue to pray for the house. I know this is the last obstacle for you....And I can't wait for the ultrasound news.....

New Kitchen counter tops--HOW FUN!!! In the same week as a ultrasound--does it get any better!? :) Why is it that we always "up grade" and paint right before we more??? :)
