For a while I've been saying we need to remodel our powder / master bathroom. (Bet all you folks that have new construction homes are jealous that we have a powder / master combo!) It is gross and nasty. I hate taking a shower in it. And you can't fix it no matter how hard you try to clean. I have cleaned it with bleach since we bought the house. Then . . . came the pregnancy so I couldn't sit on my knees on the bathroom floor with a toothbrush and bleach anymore. David had to clean. . . and after about one cleaning, it was declared that we'd get a new bathroom. 
Last day before our demo.
Just as soon as the room was gutted, we found out our tile we be at least two weeks arriving so now we're living kind of like we're back in the dorm going down the hall and up the stairs for showers. Dust was everywhere. I dusted the house three times in one week and finally declared I won't dust again until the bathroom is finished.

Dust was everywhere. I dusted the house three times in one week and finally declared I won't dust again until the bathroom is finished. We live in an area where we've never left something on the side of the road over night and it still be there in the morning. Well, our tub was pulled out on a Tuesday and it made it to Saturday sitting in front of our house. By Friday, I told the contractor to start making an alternative plan to rid us of the tub but he was confident it wouldn't make it through the weekend. Sure enough, David and I were standing in the backyard and I thought I heard the tub moving. We went into the house to peer out the window at a couple tugging and pulling on the tub trying to put it up in to their truck. I was so scared they were going to give up. I wanted to go help them. But with some rearranging of their pickup truck and some rope, they tied it in and away they went. If the bathroom is ever finished, we'll post some pictures.
Also, in our chaotic life, we have gone to Nashville, to my parents, I've been to Tampa, David is still on how weekly Nashville outings, and we are currently at David's parents. I am taking classes online at night to renew my teacher / administrator certification. The classes have reminded me that I firmly believe teachers in general talk too much and I will really cry if I have to go back to the classroom, but I also think one should always have a backup plan if needed so away I work.
Work has begun on the nursery. The walls have been painted, twice I might add because the first shade of gray looked blue. A changing table that converts to a buffet has been purchased. Finally, out of concern (terror) created in my on behalf of the store we were purchasing the crib from that it might take 10 weeks to arrive, we have a crib. We went to order it as the store was closing to ensure we'd have plenty of time to set up. Oh, it wasn't going to take 10 weeks. In fact, they had the one David (we) wanted in stock. Glad we rushed around!
