We've been doing projects around the house. Somehow last week completely slipped by. For all of us. Nathan is supposed to read for 20 minutes a day and we didn't get it done even once. I'm not too worried, he reads above his grade level and is doing fine. We did however spend most of last week preparing for his first oral report last Friday which he got the highest marks on. He was excited and proud, which he should be. He really prepared well for it.
What started as a leaky hot tub a few months ago turned into a renovation. How does that always happen? Long story short we had to replace the hot tub (I guess we didn't have too, but you know...). We had one with a gas heater, they don't make those anymore, we got an electric one, we only had 120 going into the house and needed 220, we only had one inch conduit to direct burial, not to code anymore. Paul had to dig a trench over three feet deep to the neighbors where the box is, bury conduit and upgrade from one to three inch. We had the city inspector, the electrician, and the power company at the house yesterday and it's all done! And we were even able to get into the new hot tub last night. WOW, we should have upgraded a long time ago.
I have also had an intern working with me for the last three months. We only have 12 more hours to go, it's been nice having the help and working with her, but it will be nice to have my nights back as well. Al tough in the midst of all this I have been able to finish the latest Dan Brown book and another cross stitch project. And tomorrow the big plan is I took the day off to paint the living room before our Thanksgiving dinner. I might need my head examined. I'll post the before and afters when I'm done.
