We have no kitchen faucet right now; it is in the process of being moved from the other house-a switch. Mike bought me a new faucet last year (it's FABULOUS) and it is one of the very last things to make it over here. I'm blaming the disaster in the kitchen on my inability to use the sink, NOT my inability to manage my home.
My mom asked the kids if they noticed anything different about the dining room, and Christian looked around and said,"Messy?" because this is what my dining room looks like right now...
and we thought we might have to have Christian's birthday party here tomorrow...can you imagine my terror and anxiety about that?! (My mom was hoping someone would notice the new curtains we hung.) And something worked out so that we do not have to have the party here, so the pressure is off to perform a miracle get the house in shape for a lot of company.
My mom has unpacked more boxes in four days than I have unpacked in four weeks. (Mike has certainly done his fair share...thank you everyone for doing all of this unpacking because I HATE TO DO IT MYSELF.) She has folded laundry, done the dishes, put our shoes away, rearranged furniture, and I have come to a very important conclusion. I NEED LIVE-IN HELP.
We watched Prince Caspian last night (my mom and I) and it was good, but very dark. I love Narnia. Aslan might be the only animal that ever existed that I love (except he's a made up character in a series of stories).
By the time anyone reads this post my dining room table is mostly cleaned off. Yay!
My baby girl has a really stuffy nose, and she asked me for a tissue every ten seconds while she was trying to go to sleep. And when she sneezes, she looks like Lloyd Christmas and Harry Dunne riding into Aspen on a motorbike.
That green slime hangs down under her nose past her lip, and she calmly says,"Tissue?"
And just so no one is super confused, yes Christian's birthday was quite a while ago, but we are a little late with his party. Better late than never, right?

I'm so glad your mom is there to help. You'll feel so much better when everything is settled.
And yes, better late than never. In fact, late is good. It makes the bday last longer!
No kitchen faucet is WAY worse than no toilet.
And that entire movie, Dumb and Dumber, cracks me up. I know that scene so well... And then they arrive in Aspen and it's all frozen. haha!
