The Good With the Bad


The current news in the Washington household is that we are living in COMPLETE disaray. We decided to lay hardwood floors throughout the house. After getting a steal of a deal on some beautiful hardwood we were told Thursday evening that we would have someone here on Saturday to lay the floors. In order to save money...we pulled up the carpet and original hardwood ourselves. So, in order for them to "start on Saturday" we CLEARED the house (see photo)

So who showed up Saturday?? Ummm, no one! So not only did I miss out going to the Georgia game for nothing I couldn't even stay home and get any work done. I didn't feel as though Brynn should eat any of the staples laying around on the floor. I begged the man we are working with to call everyone he knew that had the slightest idea as to how to lay hardwood. No luck. So after spending the day with my mother in law and Brynn we came home to a completely empty house with no floors. Sunday morning we got up and went to church after corralling Brynn on the bed while we each got ready. We spent the day at the lake with the Brooks and Taylors (a BIG thanks to them for letting us crash their party) in order to stay away from the disaray.

While at the lake on a moving boat Brynn accomplished to stand up without pulling up on anything all by herself! This was a very exciting moment that caused me to scream outloud, scaring everyone around me. It is so fun how each milestone this baby accomplishes completely excites me.

A different (hopefully more dependable) crew of men are supposed to show up tomorrow morning at 9 am. I have already instructed MaryLynn that if she doesn't see any action at my house in the morning she needs to call the police, and a psychiatrist. Most of you probably can imagine what this chaos is doing to me, although it's a small price to pay for the end result.

  1. Don't worry Abigail I will let you get a few punches in before I call someone to come and save the poor workers you will have to hurt if they don't show! Can't wait to see it when all is said and done!
