I took this picture of Madison late last night. We had put her bed, and about an hour later, she came screaming out of her room. She was crying so hard that we had no idea what happened. All I know is that I saw she had a mouth full of blood, and I ran her into the bathroom. We still couldn’t figure out what had happened, but we had her rinse her mouth out with water and calmed her down a bit. What we learned was that somehow she took her Pumpkin flashlight, and whacked herself in the face. You can’t tell from this picture, but she actually somehow cut two little spots below her lip, and her entire lip is swollen. She also had some black and blue marks show up instantly. After we calmed her down and found out what happened, she says to me “mommy, do you want to take a picture?”. That’s my blogging girl! LOL She knew I was going to write about this. LOL
The good news is that she is okay today. The swelling went down, and she just has 2 little cuts below her lip.

Showertime
I have looked at more showers in the last year than I ever have wanted to. We remodeled my upstairs bathroom and added a new shower last summer. We also added a new tub and had to tear down all the tile that was there before (good times, let me tell you). This summer we added a new bathroom to the basement downstairs. I don’t miss living in a construction zone. However, it is very nice to have two full bathrooms now. However, both of my bathrooms spaces are small, so I could not go all out like I wanted to.
In the basement, we had very little space to work with due to the configuration of my basement. We ended up putting up a shower enclosure (However, I had no idea that you could get a shower enclosures online. If I would have known that, I would not have let my husband pick it out. Somebody had to stay home with the kids, so I let him pick it out by himself. He did do a good job, but I probably would have picked something different.) However, if you only have a small space and want to add a full bath, I definitely recommend shower enclosures. They offer a lot more room than they look, and it is nice having two showers when you are trying to get ready for parties and such.
Eventually, when we add on to upstairs, I am going to check out the shower store and look into getting discount steam shower. We are going to add in a hot tub up there, so we need the shower to be seperate. What would be better than a steam shower? They look awesome and extremely relaxing. If you are lacking on space, they even offer steam showers with minitubs attached!
I personally can’t wait to remodel again, so we can spruce up our house. Even the economy is in the tank, houses still are a good value. Even though houses prices have dropped for the time being, they will bounce back. Remodeling also makes it more enjoyable for you to stay in the house you are in. By building out our basement, we can definitely stay in this house a lot longer (my upstairs only has 980 square feet, so we were a little cramped up here).
What does your bathroom look like? What kind of upgrades would you like to make?

I’m too old
Yes, I am admitting it. We went to a work dinner for Bill’s work on Saturday night. It was about an hour away, so we had already decided to get a hotel room. It was really fun — there is no need to be sending out Chicago resumes or resumes anywhere else either. We had Filet Mignon for dinner (yummy) and free drinks all night. They even opened a tab up at the bar upstairs after the party was over! We ended up staying up till like 2 am. That isn’t all that late, I know, but man, I am still dragging butt. Seriously. I didn’t even have a buzz when I went to bed, so this isn’t even hangover related. The only other thing I can figure that is making me so tired is that I am getting sick.
How old were you when you figured out you were old? LOL
