Hell Froze Over aka Why I Love My Hubby
NOTE: If you are reading this by a feedreader this may be a duplicate post for you. Hint of advice to everyone, don’t write a post while you have DNS changes going on or it’ll get eaten. 
I know, interesting title. But see, you have to know what the last week was like in my house. Last weekend we were gone to a wedding. All week, the earliest my hubby came home from work was 7 pm. Needless to say, the house was a wreck. On top of all that, I was changing hosting due to many issues with Bluehost (which I will blog about later!).
Hell froze over because well, the hubby actually got it into his head that we needed to clean the house. Not only that, he helped. We went from room to room and actually cleaned the majority of the house. He actually got on his hands and knees and cleaned the tub. He used an old toothbrush to clean the jets on the whirlpool. That’s what a good job he did. We rearranged the living room again too! After the kids went to bed last night, he also went grocery shopping and managed to spend less than $200 too! (However, some of his choices were not so good so I’ll be going back, but I am not complaining.)
It feels good to have a semiproductive weekend. This afternoon we will be going to one of his friend’s house for a little party, and I am not sure what we have in store for tomorrow.

Since I haven’t been home in two days since I went to the Pampers Mommy Blogger Event, I have a ton of things I should be doing like cleaning and laundry. However, I am doing none of those. Instead, I am looking at hutches and other things for my kitchen (shhh, don’t tell Bill).
As many of you may know (and for those of you who do not), I have a huge kitchen. I think it is about 15×17 or something like that. However, my cabinets stink (to the point, I have to turn my plates sideways to get them in there), so I am always in the market for something that will make my life easier and add value to my kitchen (and make it look pretty too).
I always like to look at hutches (which eBuffet.com has), but the way my kitchen is configured, they are really hard to fit in there. I have 4 windows that make life difficult (I have an extra garden window in there too, but that doesn’t count). However, after checking out the hutches, I took a peek at the buffet furniture. I saw a ton of buffet table furniture that I would absolutely love. Here are two of my choices:
What do you think of my buffet cabinets choices? I like them both though I think I like the first one better. What I love about these cabinets the most is that they come with free shipping and a 100% satisfaction guarantee (they know the way straight to my heart). I can only imagine how much shipping these heavy items from other companies would cost! I love that if I don’t like it, I can send it back!
Now, I just have to talk Bill into remodeling the kitchen. Anybody want to give me a hand with that?
The Basement Remodel: Not going to be done today
Yes, I repeat: The basement is not going to be done today. Yes, I am freaking out. I am having a 1 year old birthday party in about a week with a ton of people, and there is no way it is going to be done. None. Needless to say, not happy here. Several things happened that were not planned that are causing this to happen. First, we ended up having to move some gas lines. Second, we had to buy a new water heater and have that installed. Lastly, the mudding on the drywall is not drying. We can’t paint until that is dry and there are several coats that need to be applied of that.
At this point, my floor is not even half done. We need to move the furniture back in this weekend, and I don’t even know if that is going to happen. My stomach is in knots. I haven’t smoked in over ten years (I think I said 5 years on twitter last night, but I actually think it’s closer to ten), and I am dying for a cigarette. I’m trying to be good and eat M&Ms to fight the craving, but it’s really not working. The good thing is that Bill took them to work with him. I do know I am not about to take the kids out to go buy a $6 pack of cigarettes no matter how bad the craving is.
I just hope everyone can keep their fingers crossed. I really need the guys to have a good day today, so that maybe we can move the furniture in and just throw it into the corner for now. And I need to not have an ulcer or a coronary before this remodel is over.
