Morale sinking like a brick ship
Okay, this is the part in renovation where we get to the edge. Nothing seems amusing and tears are starting to brim in the little ducts at the corner of the eyes. Tempers are short and energy is low. We're at that point now. At least I am.
I'm going to break down here so if you hate those type of people then leave now and come back in one week. Things will probably have righted themselves as they somehow miraculously do.
Things I'm tired of this week:
announcing I have to pee and asking everyone to leave the worksite so I can in privacy
cooking out of an electric steamer in my bedroom for five people
having my kitchen cupboards piled in my living room
shuttling between "camp in laws" and "camp us" 5 times a day--I´m so tired!
not being able to find anything!!
brushing my teeth in the shower in the dark
changing diapers on the bed
living out of a disorganized suitcase
steamed food
not getting our baby in bed until 10pm because we're shuttling between camps cooking and doing dishes
having my cats give me dirty looks because they are cooped up in the back of the house
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRGH! Okay the cat just stepped on the keyboard and all my print is appearing microscopically small suddenly. What the hell happened. Hello! This day reeks of conspiracy.

Hang in there Chris. The results will be worth every bit of this hassle. BTW, I LIKE steamed veggies and don't care when I eat. Can I come help?!
It's not always pretty. My hat is off to you with a baby and in-laws etc... I do know what you mean w/ the ups and downs- I have had my desperate moments. It will be okay and you will grow so much from the whole thing. It's like a red badge of courage or something. Sounds like you are a patient person and that means you have what it takes. I love reading your blog too.
