Pretty Busy Week

I had a pretty busy week. I got a lot of stuff done that just needed to be done. After the holiday on Monday, the roofers showed up Tuedsay morning. They began tearing off the old roof and putting on the new one. Backup for a minute. Last month about the middle of May, it rained every day for like a week. Anyway, during that blessing, our roof began to leak in like 3 different places. The landlord had the insurance people come and assess it. We are getting a new roof. YEAH! So, the roofers worked from early morning until 7:00 or 8:00 every evening. By Saturday they were done. Our roof is complete on the outside. Now, this week, other guys will be here doing the inside where the damage was. So, even though I didn't do any of the actual work I feel accomplished about this.

I also had a guy come out and spray the house for bugs both inside and outside. We are experiencing a lot of HOUSE CENTIPEDES!!!! These are very scary to come across! ESPECIALLY IN THE NIGHT TIME OR THE DARK! Everything I have read says that they bite but aren't really poisonious. But then other things say they are. I don't know for sure...and I SURELY DON'T WANT TO FIND OUT!

Got my livingroom cleaned and painted (more in another post). All of the sheets got changed. The front porch is swept off and the weeds outside have been cut. The pantry is cleaned out! It becomes such a clutter spot. There is still so much to do! With my schedule I am gone for 3 days. I slept pretty much all day for 2 days. I then only have 2 days to take care of everything else. So, needless to say, there are a lot of things that get pushed to the side. I am actively making a list of the things around here that need attention and then tending to one or two of them a day. I feel so out of control when the house is a mess (or better put - cluttered). I guess in my "adult life" I have realized that I hate to clean but I hate it even more when things aren't clean! Now, to go sort some laundry.

  1. Wow Jessica - lots of work done - Good job! I love list making...and it really does help! Your post reminds me that I need to call the bug man too. And congrats on the new roof. Exciting! Thanks for your call the other night. I know I was kind of out of it - but it meant a lot that you checked in on me. Love you!
