lots to do

We only have 2 more PATH classes left! I can't believe how fast time has gone and how much material we have covered.

We got our physicals out of the way last week and we are finally in the system for finger printing, hopefully we can knock that out one evening this week! We still have lots of copies of things to make and we found out that instead of doing a questionnaire we have to write autobiographies... no fun!

The room is still uninhabitable, however my parents have decided to foster my precious iron bed that I just refinished. My niece is currently sleeping on it, she appreciates the beauty of it and I appreciate that! We have a crib and changing table waiting on us to bring it home(thanks BJ&Emily)and a dresser that has been sitting waiting to be painted; it is currently housing all of the un-wrapped Christmas gifts!

I think that I have decided to make a book shelf out of rain gutters to go on the wall above where the changing table will go. This will allow the pictures on the front of the books to be decor for the room, and make the books more appealing to children. I KNOW that I have decided to cut a hole in the wall in the kitchen to make a small pantry, Shaun still needs some convincing!

We have a few more big things to get rid of, i.e. the roll to the sink dishwasher that never gets used and my beloved vintage modern table that is used as a makeshift island. The dishwasher is free for the taking and I am considering listing the table, that would seat 2 perfectly and 4 a bit awkwardly, but could better be used as a desk on craigslist.

I am also still debating on what to do about the bathroom... medications and cleaning supplies have to be under lock and key and the most logical place for these things to be seems to be the bathroom. This means we need a new(cheap, possibly used) vanity and high cabinet that could be used for linens and other storage.

Ok, I have to stop thinking about this because I get overwhelmed with ideas and nothing gets done.
