Ying and Yang
The Ying and Yang of life were present over the past couple days. Our closing went well on Friday and afterwards, Ryan and I picked out the new tile and carpet. The salesman was able to come over and measure right away. We also were told they would be able to install this week before we move (the tile now and the carpet after we finish moving stuff in the house). It was more than what we budgeted but at least it will all be done and we won't have to worry about any stragler rooms in the future.
Saturday Ryan and my dad were busy beavers and got some work done on the AC and the trees trimmed (and some landscaping). The diningroom also was primed. My mom and I were able to get some shopping done with Miller. We successfully purchased a new bedroom set (bedspread, sheets, pillows, etc. for my non-existant king bed). We found new bathroom towels and accessories too. Miller was an excellent trooper yesterday and went nap free. We even got some pool time in. Oh, and I beat everyone at Rummy 500.
Today I awakened with a small hangover and was a little slow to get moving. Miller was a BEAST. The day without a nap really took its toll on him and he was crabby, naughty, and plain ol' fiesty. He refused a nap for me today too. Ryan finally got him to fall asleep late this afternoon. The boys arrived at the house to find a leak from the refrigerator (Ryan is dumed when it comes to water lines to fridges). The good news is they found the leak, the cupboards were raised up and not ruined. The walls that they ripped up they found some mold and damage so they were able to fix that before the new tile gets down and before the new washer and dryer arrived. So even in the bad news, there was good behind it.
I went back this afternoon and did some heavy cleaning in the bathrooms. Ryan is putting up the final coat of paint in the dining room and hoping to prime the livingroom and entry tonight. I am going to get some work done, finish laundry and decide whether to crash or be productive. I am thinking crashing sounds best.

Wow, sounds like you guys were busy! Can't wait to see the place next weekend -- bet it looks great!
All this effort will be worth it. It must be a lot harder with a kid in tow though! Can't wait to see all the new furnishings and decore...
