Progress

How quickly this blog got corrupted by my daily drama, other quilting, and Twilight.  We still have big dreams for what we want to do around the house, but we haven't made much progress.

M is still working on the wall he started in our room.  I haven't done anything more, including working on the wall quilt.

We got into a disagreement over the girls room Father's Day weekend.  Figures.  M was given bunk beds with a double bed on the bottom, but I nixed their use even temporarily which made me the bad guy.  (Their beds were still okay so why bother to use this bed that made the space situation worse?)  It did lead to M buying the girls their loft beds--he just went out and did it as to thumb his nose at me.  (We didn't even shop around more.  He bought the ones we'd first looked at at WalMart.  It's a guy thing.....)  I'm most hopeful now about getting some things done in there, though.  C has lost her motivation or it's more important to her to hang out with her friends so I think I'll have to do most of it.  Getting the beds is an important step, though!

My dad was supposed to help with the closet and it's organization, etc., including removing the door as a present to the girls, but he got pissy when questioned his plans to make platform beds and dressers.  What is it with the men in my life?!  I simply asked him to help us with the closet and he made plans to redesign the entire room.  I'm the bad guy when I say we've already got plans, etc.

Nothing is ever easy....
