Spring Cleaning Surprise

I started our spring cleaning today and as I have a tendenancy to do I went overboard. I decided to start on the upstairs and work my way down to the basement. Each child was responsible for there rooms and being they are my children, they have the routine down. Top to bottom clean, which means windows and all. They thoroughly enjoyed this part as they were on the roof of our home cleaning the inside and the outside with old toothbrushes. Maddie decided to do a sketch after she was done helping her brother so she went and got a sketch pad, nothing like a little mix of art class with spring cleaning!

As the children were diligently working away on their rooms I went to town on my hot hubby's and my bathroom. Thinking I would take down all of the towel racks and everything else on the walls I would give it a fresh coat of paint and surprise Craig. Like I said I go overboard and bless my husbands heart he knows this about me. And generally doesn't mind as long as I do it myself and don't add more "to do" things to his already long "hot hubby list". All was going very smoothly, I got the go ahead from the man of the house to purchase the items I needed to make the room shine. I was scrubbing and cleaning and getting to the point where I could start the spakling, when I decided to investigate this area to the right of our shower that looked a little precarious. I thought it would be an easy fix, take off the parts that were wet and then putty it up good put a great sealer on and waala problem fixed. It didn't turn out to be that easy. Bummer!! As I started peeling, the problem kept going and going and going with the dry wall and boards behind the dry wall crumbling without me doing a thing to them. All I could think is what is my hot hubby going to say, augh.

So like any good wife I call my...daddy-o!! I explain the problem to him and tell him that it continues to get worse and I can't find the stopping point. And he assures me I'm doing the right thing, because it needs to be taken care of now rather then later. So I muster up the courage to call my hot hubby and to my absolute delight after I beat around the bush he says "honey, tell me what it is"...and so I do and he's OK about it. Turns out work is so busy that having to gut an entire bathroom and redo it doesn't seem like that big of a deal to him. Work must be pretty busy, if he doesn't mind taking on another house project, when he is currently overwhelmed to the max with the ones that are already on his list to do at home. Building a new home is sounding better and better to him everyday, and then moving and building another new one before that one has a chance to have anything go wrong with it!!

He is a wonderful home fixer upper hot hubby, we just have a lot to do right now and adding one more thing to his plate as his wife was not my goal when I started spring cleaning today. Actually I thought I was doing him a favor by bringing order and cleanliness to our home.

YAY!! A positive note to the day I successfully loaded pictures from my digital camera to my computer. That's one step in the right direction for me and cause to celebrate!!! Now I'm going to post them, in Jesus name.
