what to do? what to do?

Published Aug. 25, 2009

For the past two years, we have worked our buns off building a house.  Two summers of no travelling and little vacation b/c there was just too much work to do.  When I had a rare day off, there was always something that needed doing with the kids or just catching up on those tasks that were left on a wayside. 

So here I sit now.  With both kids off to school, hubby at work and no house to build, paint, remodel or just give a facelift to.  No cross county commute for school or chores.  

I'm rather overwhelmed by the silence and stillness of it all!  But somehow, I think I'll manage to find something to do!!!

rockinghorse

can you come over and help me put up crown moulding?? I am sure, by now, you are an expert!!!

Mmmkay?

Thanks!!!!

This day calls for some fattening pasta and a little bit of wine. It was my neighborhood back to school tradition for many years. First day of school only, though. :)

Empress Willow, I'm too wired to lay back down. I wish I could, but I think I've had too much adrenaline pushing me forward for so long that I don't know how to settle down, yet.

Be happy to give you a hand, Squirrel. DO you have a rip saw or should I bring mine? How about the nail gun and air compressor? I'm rather handy with them!!

Ginger, that sounds like a marvelous tradition.

enjoy, hectic time to follow

Well, there's plenty of unpacking to do. So I'll find something to keep me busy. But it's just a very novel thing, to have this silence.

Well, if you are that wired :)

I vote for CRANK THE STEREO (do you still call it that?) and DANCE DANCE DANCEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE :)

!!!!Just take those old records off the shelf!!!!

2 years w/o a vacation, all work, no play. sound like you are due some 'Rock' time!

If you are a drinker, (I quit years ago) you could always get drunk & throw up before everyone gets back home! :)

LOL, Rocknhorse, sounds like "empty house" syndrome (as opposed to "empty nest" syndrome). You don't know what to do with yourself at this point. It's been a lot of work and an incredible accomplishment, so just pat yourself on the back and know that other tasks will surface to fill the void. And that wine sounds good, too!

There are so many on GOLO that would love to see your handiwork. How about some guided tours? j/k

Rockn...enjoy while it lasts...look around at all you have done...each area you have built with your own two hands. Grab a cuppa and just sit back and relax for the first time in a long time!!!

*HUGS*
