There have been some delays...but we are almost done!

There have been some delays in the painting and the new carpet on the 2nd floor of our house..finally I can say that we are almost there. Wednesday is carpet day and we will have our house back to normal! I am so ready to have my upstairs office back and my bathroom as clean as I like it to be. I have to stop here and give kudos to my husband. God bless him...we have had some minor setbacks in the painting..I was in the hospital for 5 days and while I was in, Peyton has double pneumonia and Owen had strep throat. Chris was home with them the whole week adn still managed to get stuff done around the house in preparation for our carpet being laid. I don't tell him enough how much I love him and how lucky I am to be married to a man like him. I am doing that now. In our household...there are times when Chris is forced to be a single parent. These are the times that I am unexpectedly put into the hosptial for days on end. We don't know when I will be able to go home and Chris is left at home with the boys, his work, school and the house to keep up...I don't know how he does it...while he is home slaving away I am in hospital sleeping and having all my meals made for me...I don't know how he does it! But I love him to death for it and want to thank him for all he does to help me. He will never know how much he means to me.
Now, for the updates on the rooms. The painting is done. I am going to post pictures tomorrow I hope. The boys room is looking awesome and we are so ready to get the carpet in there so we can decorate it and put their new furniture and bed in the room. It is finally going to be their own room! The carpet is all pulled up and the furniture us all moved, except our bed, which we will move tomorrow night. We are ready to have our house back together. The upside with having to move all your furniture into one room is that you tend to get organized and downsize a bit. That is what I have been trying to do as we have had our upstairs torn up. I have organized all the boys clotehs into boxes for winter/summer. They are all ready to go into the drawers whenever the furniture is in place. I have organized all the closets upstairs and gone through the stuff in them. Its very cleansing and refreshing.
I want to take the time now to thank everyone that has helped up out while I have been in the hosptial. Everyone that made my family meals, my mom who cleaned my house for me and did some laundry so that I could rest, my sister and Chad who helped paint one weekend and for everyone else who helped us out! You all mean the world to me and I am very thankful to have such an awesome support system!
That is all from here..pics are on its way!
Have a great week!
