OMG, YES!!! like painting, no one to tell me that they don't like the color...or I don't want you to paint over that, I like it...even thought I HATE it! No one saying I'll do it and it doesn't get done...if it doesn't get done now it's my fault... If I want to have friends over, I can...LMAO...not like I had any before to do that...LMAO... I'm looking forward to the garage door and opener, I'll have fun with that!!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Also, POWS never finished the trim work around the new doors that we put like a year or so ago...so I'm having that finished too... I'm not going to do anything that would add value to the house until I know that it's mine for sure then I'm going to work on the counters in the kitchen, a bathroom remodel and some others things that i would love to do!!! I'm really excited about that!

Strivin, Congratulations on all the recent developments! I've been keeping you in prayer this last week with all this going on, and still check in from time to time. You continue to amaze me <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> And I won't take those 17 years' differnece remarks personally; even our kids say our age difference is wierd, ah well <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

My SD was abusive and I remember the wrinkles all too well...LOL...personal choice for me... <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Good luck with the kids! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Rin,
Morning! Let's get back to the EXCITING subject of you and your move!!
What's the battle plan? Everything packed up at Spon. house? Who is helping you? Is there a set time for POWS to be out?
Are you planning to go in and clean first, or just get in there as fast as you can?
Knowing you, I bet you have a schedule all times out!!

AH HA! My tunk has been packed since last. Sat. I don't have a lot left at the Spon. house, but it will require another trip. Spon. will be leaving on a trip to Michagan this Thurs., so it will be me and the kids. We can move back in Sun. @ 8am...I already that boxes to pack up POWS stuff...BC will be meeting us at the house after church to help me figure out where to put up the security lights...Then, I will have my guy install them... I plan to go put up my bedroom paint today while F's at tutoring...My Aunt said that she would help me with that... I still haven't figured out what I want to do with my bathroom...the tile is PINK!!! I found out that there a primer that I can apply on top to paint over the color but I haven't figured out what color I want in there yet... The garage door and opener will be installed ASAP, then I'll get my guy to fix the crack in the sewage line, so I don't lose my pest control contract...THAT was suppose to be done last OCt. I plan to get in the house as fast as I can then I can work around the cleaning, packing his stuff...I just want to be home!!!! I have a few more friends that I plan to call to help out with painting...the whole house will be painted ASAP...Living room, dining room, kitchen... I talked about paint with the boys and they want to pick out their colors...Spon. told the boys that she would help them paint...So I'm leaving that to her...She'll be back next week... I also picked out a color to stain the concrete, but that's on the bottom of the list...I want the inside comfortable...calm...relaxing...I will also probably change the furniture around...in time I will get new furniture...I hate the Sofa and loveseat that we have now...I hated the pattern when we got it, but it was a POWS thing... I've thought about doing that rent to own stuff on the furniture until I got this other stuff straighten out...maybe rent a mini storage to house POWS stuff...I'm more than happy to pay the fee to get him out of my life! The boys have also been instructed that they will have to go through their stuff and donate some to the rummage sale... By the time I'm finished I'll be getting a BIG tax right off!!! LMAO So, that's what I have in mind right now...POWs said that if he was going to be out before then he would let me know, but I'm not counting on moving in until Sun. BTW, I wrote my MIL a email yesterday: I just wanted to tell you that I hope that we can figure out some way to
remain close...I would hate to lose you completely because of this...and you
are more than welcome to call and talk to the kids anytime as I've already
told mr. H... My lawyer suggested that I write her b/c we both of each other so highly...no reply yet...same with the last two emails that I wrote...so, I have to let that go...I did my part... Well, let me get started this morning, I have a bus problem that i had to take care of with F this morning...Oh, and F's grades are coming up!!! I'm so excited, he's doing much better, and today's the first REAL TUTORING day...he didn't have it last week adn the week before that was orientation...I'm not asking, just accepting and rewarding him for it!!

Sorry to hear about your SD. My SD was abusive, too, but I am so grateful that we can create better lives for our own kids. Never again.
Oh, and I hear you, lots of wrinkles to iron out LOL.
Strivin, I don't always get the abbreviations. Who is HN? What does POWS stand for? I only know the WS part.
And like Bugsmom said, we're looking forward to hear when you guys are back in your place!

My thought was always that my job as a parent was to do better for my kids than what was done for me...to learn from my parent's mistakes... LMAO...so far so good! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

SADMO- BOB doesn't sound exciting? Do you have a fever? LMAO
I AM really excited...i'm going back to Lowe's to get the paint for the kitchen and living room, and decide on the dining room color...
Last night, I sat on the floor with all of my samples and was cutting some out, outting them together, then stapled the ones that I wanted...
Didn't realize that I'm a warm colors gal!! LMAO

Rin,
Don't commit to a color yet. Ask for samples and throw them up on the wall and wait a week. It looks funny having a couple different colors up there but it gives you an idea of what the color looks like.
In high school I worked for a painter and the number one complaint was it looks different on the wall in that room then I thought it would. The guy I worked for had the customer sign off that the color we were putting up was the color they wanted.
In a very lighted store a dark looks lighter then it does in a darker room.
Grab a couple samples Lowes givea them free. I usually suggest the color you like the next shade up and down. That way you can see them at all times of the day too.
The color that looks great during the day could look like a product of a babies diaper at dusk.
