From Freight Train...

to a babbling brook! This is how I feel these days at my house. All because of one kitchen appliance. I know some of you got to witness the noise level that had been coming from our old dishwasher. I am not exaggerating by calling it a freight train either! The noise level was enough to drive you insane, grate on your nerves etc. If the kids wanted to watch T.V. while the dishwasher was going, we'd turn the T.V. up full blast. Then we resorted to only turning the dishwasher on at bedtime.
* FYI~ if you have any kind of insomnia, freight trains and sleep don't mix;)
So, finally we realized it was time for something new...and this is it:)

Yay it's shiny and new and I feel like I have my very own water feature in my kitchen:) but, the end all be all, is sleeping without the freight train!

So in Love...

with this new baby:) Doug brought this vacuum home to me the other night. A total surprise! I had no idea how great such a surprise could be! I already had a great vacuum. Central vac. has always been my dream and I have that. It's the best! THIS new addition to the central Vac. is just above and beyond... Glides like butter on a hot muffin. Good stuff.

I have to admit, yes it might be strange, but I LOVE vacuum lines! I have been wanting to re-do my floors and go to hardwood and just forget all the trouble carpet brings. Today as I was vacuuming I realized...wow, I would miss my vacuum lines if I didn't have my carpet.

Ever since I was a little girl and my mom took me to a home of one of her friends. My mom said to me, "Janae, look at (so and so's) diamonds on her carpet." Well, it took me a minute, but then I saw the perfectly formed triangles that made diamonds on this lady's carpet. It was one of those impressionable ages and I remember standing there looking at this perfect home with it's perfect vacuum lines and being so excited about it! Crazy i know. I finally have my perfect vacuum lines. As nutso as it sounds, just one of those fun little joys of life! Lots of vacuuming going on here:)

We went here today...it was HARD! My dear hubby is NOT a shopper. He's a definite keeper, but clearly not a shopper. He had a hard time because, if we were driving that far to shop, it should at least have been to Cabella's...Unfortunately, Cabella's does not carry children's furniture:)

To add insult to injury...NO good treats in this house! What's a girls to do? Diet hot chocolate...not hitting the spot, but better than nothin;)

btw~ carpets still wet!!

Still Camping...

This is where the girls get to watch their shows from, the couch that is pushed into the kitchen! Carpet is STILL WET!

No Furniture...

So, I'm a little sad I already missed a day in my (take a photo a day for March and blog it!) Oh well, I'm moving on and not looking back:)

So, here's my photo for the day. We are camping out a bit today after getting carpets cleaned, and yes, they are still wet! Luckily, Doug won't let having no where to sit stop him from playing Mario Kart ;).

I am glad we went ahead and did the carpets, but wow...way more work than I was expecting, and more money :(. On the bright side, the carpet does look clean.

AFTER!!!

It's done! It's really done:)
