We have spent the past 3 days moving our daughter back home. The house was not ready, in the way that I hoped due to all the plumbing and bathroom remodel. The bathrooms are 3/4 done. My husband tiled the shower on Thursday and finally on Friday we got to use the shower!! It had been 6 weeks since I had been able to shower in my house. ( I was bathing though, to be sure- we live in Florida!)
There are boxes and bags everywhere that need to find a place in our home. Our daughter has been living on her own for the past 4 years, and had a large apartment by the University. ( We only moved her across town) This is the house she has lived in since she was 3 years old, so it is home, but she is used to her own space and lots of quiet. NOT that her Dad and I are loud. But we watch too much TV for her liking, and I am told that in the mornings when I get ready for work, that the "kitty and I make too much noise." Gemma (kitty) and I have our morning routine! The biggest concern in living together again, is her two kitties. We have no idea how they will all get along.
We got Gemma 4 1/2 years ago. We asked my husband at a weak moment, if we could have a cat and he said "we"? Amanda had always wanted a kitty. I had tested allergic when she was about 4 years old, and my husband had never cared for cats. But he said yes and within a week we had gotten our beautiful calico cat from a local rescue. When Amanda moved out about 10 mos after we got Gemma I said the kitty was not going. She agreed the cat was mine and not hers. AND what a joy she has been to me! I only seem to be allergic if I am scratched. My husband is a self proclaimed "cat liker." (not LOVER)
About 3 years ago Amanda got her 2 kitties, brother and sister. They are very sweet, too. But much more underfoot and in your space. That will take some getting used to especially for my husband.
Being able to create is my coping mechanism and at the moment no craft supplies are accessible.
Saving grace is I am on vacation this next week and I am hoping within a few days the house will be much more livable. I am planning another denim jacket, this time painted with cabbage roses.
to successful organization . . . (and no cat fights)
