What in the WORLD is wrong with me? For the past few days I have been overly stressed and depressed about everything going on in my life. I want to cry everyday.
1. I've decided that I HATE the color I painted the master bedroom. This has me down for several reasons. It's such a waste of time. Now I have to re-tape the bedroom (blue tape is THE ENEMY!), choose a new color, paint three coats over it (the previous color is really dark), then probably decide again that I don't like the second color I have chosen. Such a waste of time and money! Uhhhhggg.
2. All of our savings is quickly draining away into the house. I have to keep telling myself that the whole reason we saved all this money is so we could fix our house the way we wanted. But letting go of that much money is so freaking hard! I'm such a tight-wad.
3. Work. Boss. That's it.
4. Feeling very unorganized. I work all day, and think about all the things I should be doing at the new house. Go straight to the house from work and try to get some things done for a few hours. Leave the house feeling like nothing was accomplished to go "home" and find that papers need to be filed, floors need vacuuming, bathroom needs cleaning, and husband and cats need attention. I need to be in three different places at the same time, and somehow I can't pull it off. Damn.
5. Body image is slowly going down hill. We joined the gym, which I attended on a regular basis for the first month. Ever since we got this house I have no free time to go to the gym, therefore feeling crappy about my weight. Regular eating schedule? Non existent. Need to work on this one.
6. Not only does the new house take up all my time, which I was excited about at first, but now I feel like I've spent so much time there and NOTHING has been accomplished. Throw in reason #1 for being depressed and I feel like the work is going backward instead of forward. It just looks so crappy right now. Plus, I've missed a weekend at Homecoming (miss my college friends SO much), and a weekend in Vegas for this house. It doesn't make me feel good to look at my house. I'm so impatient when it comes to progress.*
7. This just in! We've been planning to have the old carpet and tile hauled away by the trash service because our bulk pick-up is this month. I was faxed a schedule by the city that said our bulk pick-up day was the third Friday in April and October, this same schedule is also printed on the actual trash can. I saw lots of bulk trash out on the street from the neighbors this week. Yesterday I noticed it was all gone! I called the city, they confirmed my suspicion ... bulk trash day was TUESDAY!!! WE MISSED IT! The lady was totally rude and said "Well, I guess you're just out of luck," after I told her that the schedule she faxed me was WRONG. What a bitch.
Just to brighten this post up a bit, I'll tell you one thing that's making me feel good today:
I am having the best hair day EVER! This should be recorded in some book of records, because I must say that my hair is being so cooperative, it's amazing. Maybe my hair knows how down I've been and it feels sorry for me. Maybe it's the new shampoo I bought yesterday (Bumble & Bumble Seaweed). But for some reason it's shiny, smells good, has that bounce that all the commercials talk about. I wish my hair would be like this everyday. Who knew washing my hair with weeds would do it any good?
*Maybe I should describe how the house looks: half of the carpet is gone, all tile is torn up, blue tape EVERYWHERE, basement ceiling scraped off, ugly paint in master bedroom, dust all over from tile removal, patched up ceiling needing new paint, big hole in backyard from above ground pool, overflowing trashcans, old carpet taking up garage space, all doors off cabinets in kitchen and bathroom, half primed bathroom cabinets, ugly pink countertops in bathroom and kitchen, half removed linoleum in kitchen, etc. etc. etc. I could go on, but I won't. Basically it looks like a disaster. Remind me again why I wanted to do this ... please, someone remind me before I go crazy.

Kristin - Yes, it could be the seasons. You're very right
Nytro - We're not living there yet, that's why we're doing it all at once. Because all the floors will be new, we have to do all the painting and such first so my new floors don't get splattered. Once the floors are in, we're moving in. Then I'll really be depressed.
oh... good. i couldn't believe my eyes when i read that! what color did you paint the bedroom? one note, don't paint it red or maroon unless you know that you'll never, ever, ever touch the walls.
I painted the bedroom with the Ralph Lauren Regent Metallic paint. It was a dark golden brown color and I did a brush effect on it and spent a lot of time making it look good. It looks really pretty on the walls, but with our new bedding being the exact same color ... it's going to look like WAY too much of the same thing in one room. Damn it! It makes me so mad thinking about it!!
just get new bedding that's darker!! problem solved!
Yeah I'd get the new bedding instead of the new paint. Sorry to hear about all your problems with the house, but just think of how wonderful it will be once your done! It will be like moving into a brand new house!
i love seaweed!
