No, I don't have pictures for you. I have been buried.
Rocky peeing on bedding to stink up the house. Don't worry. He had a great reason. He was mad that he was corrected for making a poor choice. That's the MO in the house right now. Not a problem. He had the opportunity to pee all over the bedding he wanted to, while camping out on the floor of the laundry room the following night. He chose not to, so he could work his way back into his bedroom he shares with his brother.
Mmmmmm. You know how I love the pee. Apparently ... SO DOES HE!
Received yet another gift from a friend in the mail. Such an encouragement to us. God did such a really great thing when he invented the concept of friends and community.
Mar has had many days of Restricted Mode. This has been our routine lately. Mar's heart and head are starting to associate negative feelings with a sense of entitlement, instead of what it normally is - a wonderful high! We have had some genuine tears. There has been regret and some good attempts at change. Still, it won't change quickly. Just what we're focusing on right now. Lots and lots of restrictions going on.
I have color on my walls. Lots and lots of COLOR! It makes me smile. Granted, I still have lots and lots and LOTS of walls which are still waiting their turn. Others are awaiting their second coat.
The refrigerator and stove arrived today. Tomorrow we will have the wiring done so we can actually plug in and utilize the stove. There are no words for how excited I am to have refrigeration in my actual kitchen. By tomorrow night I can steam vegetables without having to wait 35 minutes for the water to boil. Pretty cool.
We have had a lot of rain, and our "yard" is still a giant mud pit. So, it is entertaining to get to our doors. It will be quite a while before we can do a driveway or decking. So, for now, we are high class, baby. A few boards and old siding make for high end sidewalks.
I found something behind the drawers in the master bath. Will post a picture. It's not as shocking as what I found in the guest bath, but still ... kinda' "Huh?"

Cannot wait to see the latest discovery.
A fridge and stove....baby you are moving on up! Fabulous news!
I am so excited to see what you've done with the place. As for the kids, change makes them leak. Didn't you know that?
I'm so right there with you...wired kids, house that needs fixing, yard that needs work. It's enough to make one crazy. Thankfully, most pee is making it to it's proper receptical, at least for the moment.
So glad to hear you like pee so much. Am dropping off two mad pee-ers to keep Rocky company. They can help you paint! Got room for someone else who is stealing again?
Hugs, Dia
P.S. Not. kidding.
Hmm. Pee. I just realized I have not had any in a while. Thanks. Now there will be a flood.
Good luck! Keep hanging in there... the in-kitchen refrigeration will help! :)
haha... I cannot WAIT to see pictures!
So glad you have your home! With refrigeration! Now to the stove eh. That's good!
Oh, and I was listening to Kellie Raspberry on the radio and she was talking about how she hates hearing people breathe. I always think of sick John Black from Days of Our Lives which of course always makes me think of you and Michael. Love you guys!
There nothing like the kind of stuff you can find hidden in the drop ceiling in the room of the former owners' 17-year-old son...
Oy. Sending some prayers your way. Well, God's way, but asking Him to direct some blessings your way. :)
