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.

I know, I know — Mother’s Day is just around the corner. However, I like to think ahead and figure out what I am to do for Bill for Father’s Day. Since we are remodeling the basement, I would love to get something for him for down there. We are adding a bathroom, a living room area, and a toy room. My upstairs is only 980 sq feet, so we definitely can use the extra space. Right now, I am waiting for the waterproofing people to get here. They are the first part of the transition. They will be here today and tomorrow, and then the contractor who is adding everything else starts. All this construction will last about a month. Fun times, I know.
That being said, Bill’s brother started pulling the wire this weekend for things like the satellite, phone, etc. I am wondering if I should have him pull some wire for a Home Theater System. I think he (Bill) would be completely floored if I made something like that his Father’s Day gift. We currently have a system in our upstairs. However, the DVD player no longer plays half of the DVDs we put into it (including brand new ones!), so we are in definitely need of something like this. I think he would definitely be surprised and truly enjoy a gift like that. What you are getting the “father” in your life for Father’s Day?

I thought we left the crappy weather in Chicago. However, it looks like we brought it with us. I have been up since 4 am, but I wanted to post that we made it here! I love it! Our hotel is nicer than my house. I took a few pictures for you all.
Here’s the kitchen:
The dining area:
The living room:
Our bedroom:
And lastly, the bathroom:
I can’t believe we are going to be staying in this room for a week! So what do you guys think? Nice, huh? We have a great view, but since it is dark, I’ll get a picture in the morning.
Today has been a really long day. Our plane got delayed and our flight was like being squished in a sardine can. However, we got here, the kids are doing great, and I almost feel like we are on our honeymoon again. Unfortunately, we both are severely jet lagged right now. Bill fell asleep almost instantly after we got here (which is why I am on the internet right now). I brought a couple of books to read, but I’d rather be playing here.
I hope to post a little more later in the week and let you know what we have been up to!
