The project list really came to a climax this week. No, I don’t work a traditional job and yet, I’ve been so busy I don’t know how I could fit one in anyway.

This week I continued to run back and forth between the house we’ve lived in for years and the new one we’re renovating. We started our painting projects last week and had hoped the contractors would be done with their piece by the 15th of May so that the professional painters could get started and the carpet would be the last thing done before we moved at the beginning of June. Not so.

I’ve lost a little sleep this past week over an event I’m planning for my women’s group. There are over 180 members and the event will have speakers, food, giveaways, activities and the problem with planning something like this is that you never really know how many are going to show up and participate. It is mind boggling.

The school year is coming to a close so the kids are all focused on finishing the year with a bang. Yes, they waited until the last half of the last semester to get serious. Again, mind boggling.

Hubs and I realized after a heated discussion that we had expectations of one another that we didn’t know we were unfairly imposing. We decided to blame it on our parents. It’s just easier that way.

So here is what I learned this week:

You can have it all…for a price.

Love your mate for who they are and not for who you think they should be.

When renovating and planning a move, be flexible. There are so many things outside your control.

Don’t wait until you lose your job to get in your kids butt about their school work. Be a consistent asshole.

If you build it, they will come. You just don’t know how many will come so don’t go reserve the large, fabulous expensive conference room. Get the one you can afford.
