There is Beauty All Around

Alright, so I survived the ordeal of moving everything off of the carpet onto the tile on Wednesday night. Of course I couldn't sleep much at all having to sleep in the bathroom, not to mention having a terrible nightmare about tarantulas. On my trek into the toilet during the night, I had to make it through the obstacle course, oh joy, and managed it without too many mishaps (banging my knee on the end table from the family room, stubbing my toe on my headboard). But I did make it through the night.

Yesterday I got home at 7pm and I had beautiful, soft carpet throughout my house. Yay! Let me just tell you how much I love it!!!! All of the furniture is back where it should be and I was able to sleep in my own bed, and actually sleep last night. I also found out that sometime this next week my couch/love seat will be coming. Can't wait until that happens, then there will finally be somewhere to sit and watch some TV. Next on my list of To Do's is finding a washer/dryer so I don't have to make the trek over to use my sister's. hehe. Gotta love family for that reason. What would I do without her? But overall things are finally starting to come together and I'm starting to make things feel more like home.

I am glad you did not have to sleep in the bathroom again. I am glad you are all tucked into your house. Yes you do got love family for letting them use things. Hey FYI Check for washer and dryers at the RC Willy Ware House. Much cheaper there. Good Luck in finding one!
