Weekends go so fast

It's Monday. How can it be Monday? It doesn't feel like we had a full weekend. Jay even had a 3 day weekend because he took Friday off. I don't feel like there has been any time to relax. Friday we went to the tile store and the plumbing store. We were going to go to the carpet store, but the first two were so exhausting and took so long we didn't have the time or energy to try to pick out one more thing. Who knew shopping for fixtures could be so hard?! We manged to pick a tile, maybe two that we are pretty sure we want to use. We still have to pick a sink, shower and toilet (I hope my mom-mom doesn't read this post, I said toilet!) to go with it, but hopefully we will find something that works. It's much harder than I thought it would be to pick everything for our bathroom. Just when I think I know how much there is to pick something else come up, like the hardware for the vanity. All of Friday was disappointing. The construction was a disaster. The poured the concrete for the slab and just as they were about to get the last bit in and smooth it the bottom of the sky dropped out and drenched the slab and the poor workers. They tried holding plastic over it while they smoothed it out, but the rain kept coming hard and they had to leave the plastic on when they left. When they returned all dried off after the rain stopped the concrete had hardened with ripples from the plastic in it. They had to tear out the whole thing. The only good part about the whole thing is that we are working with such a good company. They were able to tear out the whole thing Friday afternoon. They came back Saturday morning and redid the slab so they wouldn't trow our construction schedule off too much.
Saturday I did a bunch of work for my Creative Memories "business" and a little bit around the house. Sunday I went to a double Christening for my cousins' babies. Well it was actually a huge multiple Christening, but I only knew two of the babies. We went to a party after and the host had a pool, so our whole family ended up in it. We were on the road that leads to Jay's parent's house on the way home, so we decided to stop by there on the spur of the moment. We stayed there until almost bedtime. We got home, got the kids in bed and then it was time to wrap up a few things and go to bed ourselves. The few things took way longer than we planned and we went to bed way too late and still didn't feel like we did all we wanted to. So this morning arrives and another work week starts and the weekend seems like a distant memory.
I checked my blogs this morning and realized I had not checked them since early Saturday morning or maybe even Friday night. Now that is a busy weekend!

Today's Progress

This is what our house looks like today. The foundation guys are finished for the day. Tomorrow they will be pouring the slab if the weather cooperates. Do you think I'm wasting God's time praying that the weather cooperates? I've been waiting so long (okay, I know, long is a relative term) for this addition I just want the construction part to go as quickly as possible. I'm grateful that we are able to do this, but I really want that space soon!

Awwwwwww! Aren't they cute?!

Today is Block Day

There is one guy here today. He has been here since 6 am. It's only 9:30 and he has this much wall built.

Not much

There's not much to report today. They brought in a dumpster and made the giant pile of rubble a much smaller pile of rubble. There were a couple trucks involved, but nothing monumental. Tomorrow they will lay the cinder block and that will have to set for a day. I'm expecting Friday will be the next exciting day when they lay the slab.
