Accomplishing Goals

Day six, level one of the shred - finished this evening. I'm at that point where I haven't seen any results yet and I want to quit. Thinking back, that's usually how I go - after about a week or so I'm ready to quit. I think I don't care, but I really do. I haven't been eating that good either, maybe it's the same as I always do but I'm actually taking notice since I'm trying to be good. Oh well, there's always tomorrow with the eating. The shred is definitely getting easier, I think after tomorrow I will be ready to advance to level 2 and see how that goes. In the beginning I had a hard time following the modified versions and now I don't have too. I just wish my tummy would disappear over night.

Kurt starts back at his old job tomorrow. I guess I haven't updated on here as to what the deal with that is. Things were going fine at the new place, but he was asked to return to his old employer. Basically with him (and I) wanting to be there instead of the new place, and with a few other good reasons to return, he accepted the offer. We're very happy with the decision! :)

The floor that has been taking FOREVER is finished in the hallway. We still need to finish the steps (which is still be discussed as to what we want to do), I'd like to paint (hopefully this coming weekend) and eventually painting the trim (which doesn't have to be done immediately.) It looks really nice! The carpet man comes Friday morning to lay the carpet in Amelia's room and then we can finally get that room finished. I forgot to take pictures of the hallway before Kurt started sanding and all - it was bad though. Imagine removing carpet on some nasty old floors that needed to be really sanded/stripped and stained. Here are few pictures I did take though. I will take pictures of before we paint and after - promise. See that ugly pink/tan?

This is after Kurt already sanded and stripped the old stain off a million times.

Finished project. The lighting isn't that great in the hallway, but I think they look great.

Finished project!

Kurt started back at school last Tuesday night. He's there tonight.. he's only taking one class this semester - basically because his old employer didn't care if he had this degree and they weren't going to give him time off to attend extra classes. Unfortunately it will take him another semester to graduate ( I think ) but it will be nice to have him focusing more on family this semester than cracking the books every second.

Weird - I've been tweeting lately.. what's the deal with that? Follow me @mommainflipflop Facebook seems over rated. lol! :) Time to get the kids in their pajamas.
