It's a roller coaster of emotion...

Words from the emotional pregnant lady, DO NOT remodel your kitchen while you are pregnant. I feel like it would be an emotional ride when things go wrong for anyone, multiply that by 100 and that is what the situation was in our house today. I would like to think thus far in the kitchen remodel, I have been pretty good about keeping my emotions to a minimum. I believe they all caught up with me today! As I sit here and think about it now, I still feel like crying was the way to go. My breaking moment was at about 16:30 when we tried to put one of our drawers in with the new sliding track we bought and had spent over an hour putting in and they ended up not fitting. (not for all of you doing a remodel, test one before you do them all) It made the drawers to wide to go in the cabinets. My heart just sank. At that moment I just felt so overwhelmed. I knew I had to pick the kids up soon and that the reality was, my counters would not be going in. I also had to call and make sure Lowes would even take them back since they had all been opened and installed. Good thing, they did :) I really thought I was going to be a blubbering mess of a pregnant lady at the return counter, so I was glad when they gladly took them back! The one good think that came out of that, is the ones we needed were $5.50 cheaper and we needed 10 of them! So that was a little money that could be put somewhere else. It seems to be one small thing after another, either going wrong or just not matching up the way it should, and yes I am aware that this happens during remodels. Still does not make me feel any better as I am still washing dishing in the kids bathroom sink. I also know that this will be well worth it in the end, as of now, I am questioning that. I feel like an emotional train wreck at the moment. We have some amazing friends that helped us with what has been done so far, so I really don't want them to think I am not thankful for them being here or anything like that, because lord know we would not even half half of what is done right now finished. So thank you to those wonderful friends, they know who they are ;) So as of right now, we have no idea when these counter tops will be going in. They are decently heavy and Phillip will not let me help him with them so we will just have to wait until a few guys can come over and help him do them. On a better side note, our chalkboard fridge came out wonderful! I will be blogging about that and how easy it was, also how much fun the kids are having with it now :)

    Don't forget we are RIGHT around the corner if you need to escape, or need help with the boys, or just need to come stand in a kitchen. :)

    Also, Chris is usually home by 6 so let us know when Phil gets ready to do the counter tops.

    Keep your chin up! Love ya!
