Words

You have to be careful what you say. Think before you speak. Words burn and cannot be taken back once they leave your mouth.

Never say never.

Not that I said never in reference to this:


…and a bathroom.

Living in the house you are renovating, especially when the room being renovated is the kitchen, can be trying at times. Dust, fine dust every where. Appliances, brand new, sitting to be installed. A kitchen packed up and stored here, there and almost every where. You get creative. You make do. Dinners are not what you normally make.

The hardest part for me has been the sink. Rather, not having a sink and yet, still having dishes. I want to take back some spoken words.

I said I would not wash our dishes in the bathroom tub. Well, technically, I am not washing them IN the tub. Confession time…I am using the tub. This is where I “installed” the utility sink. I fill it with hot water from the tub. Wash the dishes. Pull the plug and the waste water fills a bucket under the sink. Bucket gets emptied outside. Dishes done.


I try not to complain and soon, if the timing is right, on Mother’s Day, I’ll be able to use my new sink in my new kitchen!

What? No mom’s in the kitchen this Sunday.

Not in our house. If I have my way, I’ll be baking, washing dishes and hanging out in my new, beautiful kitchen. Which reminds me, I still need to share something with you. My ABC project. I’ll tell you about it tomorrow.

In the meantime, I have to clean, paint, clean, and make a shopping list and move all the scattered kitchen items back into their new area. I just have to wait for the countertop to be installed first!
