PICTURES!!

since these are loading backwards, I'm going to post this

then add the pictures of it painted.

this is the "man cave" or so

Bryan and Chris like to call it...

I think since I primed the damn thing

ALL BY MYSELF

and painted it with a little bit of help from Bryan

it should be called a new name...

but we'll see.

These are pictures of our "bar area"

ready for primer and then primed.

Next I will post pictures of it actually painted.

:)

talkin' about closets!

last night Bryan worked on the girls closet and got it looking pretty good. he made two shelves that we can put clothes or toys on and then made a hanging bar and a shelf above that... we have a lot of space now. i just have to get it all painted before i put stuff in there... but that shouldn't take too long.

i also want to work on painting the trim in their room and also to do a second coat around the windows. then in Trevor's room i still have to paint all his trim, his closet, around his windows and also his stripe around his room that is going to be white also. and then there is the second coat in the bathroom and then i'll be done with painting... for now. once the down stairs is done then i will be at it all over again but that will be okay... at least i will get a break in between.

then once we get the downstairs done up.. then at some point once we have some more money saved up... we are going to re-do the kitchen so then i will paint the kitchen. for now i'm just leaving it the plain off white that it is. no use in painting it if we are going to rip everything out and re-do it.

so that is all. for now i'm at my parents and i have some things i need to work on... then later tonight i think i'll work on painting in Trevor's room while Bryan finishes up the shelves in the girls room.

that's all for now.

No so good...

the cutting of the wall/foundation last night to put in our new egress window did NOT work out. Actually it didn't go at all. : (

they came, they saw, they tried to kick it's ass, but the darn foundation just held it's ground. I'm sure they will be back at it today... but what a pain the neck.... shoulders, back, arms and hands.

I hope they can get it today without much of a hassle.

SSD

Do you suffer from SSD??? I know I do! I would love to go to therapy or seek medical help for this "condition" that I have, but unfortunately I don't have the time to go. I mostly don't have the time to go because of the disorder itself. So I would like to start a mini support group here on my blog... I will rant, vent and bitch about all the things that are bothering me, and you in turn can comment on my bitching or you can rant, vent and bitch yourself in the comments. :) I think this will be a positive experience for all and may help the symptoms of SSD lessen even if it is just a little.

You are probably asking yourself What is SSD? Do I have SSD? Could I be suffering from SSD and not even know? What are the signs/symptoms of SSD? How can I, too, get help from SSD? And finally you are probably asking yourself Why does she keep typing SSD????

So to answer your questions ~

What is SSD? It is simply SAME SHIT DISORDER/Disease ~ I prefer disorder, but it may be a disease!

Do I have SSD? You very well could be suffering from SSD if you have a husband, boyfriend, significant other, and if you have children, your own or others around you, if you have a home/apartment or other, if you have a job or seeking employment.

Could I be suffering from SSD and not even know? Most likely if you are suffering from SSD you know about it... but didn't know how to pinpoint exactly what it was that you were suffering from. More and more people discover that they too have SSD every day. Do not ever feel like you are alone.

What are the signs/symptoms of SSD? The signs are pretty obvious once you start thinking about how you spend your days and nights. The most typical signs are having to repeat the same shit over and over and still people just don't hear or listen to you, another sign/symptom is that you have to constantly do the same shit over and over... example, pick up the same toys, clean up ice pop sleeves from by couch EVERY.SINGLE.FREAKING.DAY (from your husband, not your kids) put shoes on shoe rack EVERY.SINGLE.TIME.ANYONE.COMES.HOME. put away toothbrushes, toothpaste, cup, deodorant, aftershave, tweezers, razor, potty seat, stool, towel, refill toilet paper, close shower curtain, hang up towels etc EVERY.SINGLE.TIME. ANYONE.ELSE.USES.THE.BATHROOM. There are many other signs of SSD as well that we will go over as we do our group blogging therapy.

How can I, too, get help from SSD? The help you need is right here. I'm offering free counseling for everyone... we can all help each other with this battle and together we will hope to over come the struggles of SSD and the pain it has caused us. This is a safe place for you to come and share your feelings and frustrations with SSD. I want you to feel free to express yourself how ever you wish and be as open and honest with us as you want. Bitching, venting and ranting are all welcome and will help you to cleanse yourself from this horrible disorder.

And finally to wrap things up...

Why does she keep typing SSD?? SSD is a global problem it isn't just in my home or yours... it is wide spread and by making it known it will help all of us. So I'm trying to get the word out about SSD and in turn get some more knowledge about it for all to share. We are not alone in this battle, and with spreading the word, we can help others in need. Please, I urge you, reach out and talk to someone you love about SSD, they too, could be suffering.

Well this is all for now, but knowledge is power, and together we can all try to beat this! (or beat the people that cause us to have this disorder!)

Because of SSD, I have run out of time to post more for now, but I hope to return later and add some to this hot topic!

Thank you for reading and I am sure I will be able to thank you all for your support and encouragement as we forge forward with this.
