This weekend was NUTS! I pretty much did not see my family, except to run home between Lowe's trips and shove food in my mouth! I had renters moving into our newly purchased rental property on Sunday at noon and I had a tile backsplash to install . . uh- did I mention I've never layed tile! ha!
Watching me lay tile would probably make my Dad cringe like watching me cook probably makes my Mom cringe! I'm not big on measuring, reading directions . . I pretty much just wing it and hope for the best!
I think it turned out pretty darn good! I might just have to do ours at home!
In between my tiling project (you have to let the thinset dry for like 16 hours!) I had some home-room Momming duties to do! Decorate Jayden's classroom and door decorations for Evan's class.
The theme of Teacher Appreciation Week was "Bling into Spring" . . a hard theme to work with!
I need a manicure like you wouldn't believe -- grout and thinset are rough on the nails! I am relieved to have that finished and renters in! Except that I had to quickly learn alot about a gas hot water heater today! I might need a session of Landlord 101 from Dad!
. . .ESPECIALLY when that milk is the LAST bottle of liquid gold breast milk! Friday was one of those crazy days - one of those days when you have a crying baby on your hip, three boys at your heels asking you to do something, you need to take a shower, pack for a weekend, pick up your house and get on the road for a "girl" weekend of Warrior Dashing. Then the straw that breaks the camels back . . the bottle you just prepared in this chaos . . falls in slow motion and SPLATS all over the kitchen floor. Baby still crying. Boys silent. Aunt Sissy had a bit of a breakdown - but the boys put their hands on my shoulders, looked me in the eye and said, "Mom, WE are getting you to that race" ha! They cleaned up the milk, packed themselves AND swept the floor while I was on my way to Bentonville to get that Baby some milk - straight from the milk cow -sorry Miranda:)! At one point Kyler said, "we are Pitts and Pitts don't give up" - it's so funny how they reacted to the sequence of events! Evan during all of this realized that the milk couldn't be replaced . . so where does it come from and HOW does Auntie M get it in those bottles -- lots of questions!
Before all that, this sweet little girl helped Aunt Sissy get ready for Warrior Dash - she event went to Academy with me!
We had lots of good cuddles during my week and half of keeping her.
And on our final day, we did a little shopping and took inventory.
Wheh! The Pitts' house is crazy! That's probably what Avery thinks!
