Total Chaos Day 2

Yesterday was beyond exhausting - I had gotten a poor night's sleep thanks to SOMEONE, and then found myself making 2 trips to Home Depot, a trip to Lowes and a trip to Wal-Mart in search of various things needed by the contractors... I had to return the ceiling fan/light I'd gotten for the great room because it wasn't the right type, had to find extra chain and wiring for the diningroom chandelier because there wasn't enough of it (this required trips to both Home Depot and Lowes because Home Depot did not have the right color), had to buy recessed lighting and then return recessed lighting in favor of alternate kitchen light fixtures after the contractor determined that it would be excessively expensive/ annoying to run new wiring in the kitchen to install the recessed lighting.... Caroline fortunately was an obliging errand partner and slept happily for much of the trips.

By the time the day was over yesterday I was exhausted and aching all over. Caroline fortunately had her longest stretch of sleep yet, from midnight to 5 am, which also has been my longest stretch of sleep since she was born :) I am still aching this morning, I guess I am kind of deconditioned from the whole c-section/lengthy recovery, and I have already had to return to Home Depot once this morning in search of screws for the drawer pulls we're putting in the kitchen, because the ones that came with them are too short. Hoping I will not have to make any other trips today.

Right now the kitchen lighting is getting finished up, the exterior of the house is being pressure washed, and there are still a few items left to do including staining our deck. We have our regular Wednesday house-cleaning crew coming this afternoon (I tried to reschedule them but they were booked for the rest of this week) as well as a guy to measure and give an estimate for granite counter tops in the kitchen, as well as our contractor neighbor who is coming over to (probably) finally put to bed the question of whether or not we can add a second story addition to this house (more than likely it would not be cost effective). So, another busy day continues...
