We are "lucky" to be off today for Family Day. I say lucky because it means that we are home today instead of at work, but really the reason our company has to give us the day is because they are not already too generous with time off. I feel sorry for anyone who is not getting the day today to spend with their family, but not too much if they already get lots of extra time- like shutting down for a week at Christmas instead of you having to take vacation time.
Yesterday we braved the weather & went up to my mom's for the day & today we have just stuck around home. We have lots to do because tomorrow the wall comes down. Yes, phase I of the kitchen renovation begins. This means that everything in the living room (except the couch and entertainment unit) needed to find a new home for a week. I am glad that we are doing this in a couple of phases because at least when we needed to clear everything out it only meant moving half of the floor. At least we could put some things in the kitchen & when the kitchen is being done we will be able to use the space in living/dining room.
I am trying to be sure to take before pictures, so here is a view. In a few days, it will be much more open. So far Brad & I are not snapping at each other, so that is a good sign that we can make it through this.
(Actually- you will need to wait- Blogger is not allowing me to upload...so I will try again later. Sydney wants to play hide & seek).
