Moving Forward

Life is returning to normal, and we're moving full steam ahead on the construction. I'm still a bit tired from losing so much blood and the subsequent anemia, but I imagine it will take a little while to get completely back to normal. There was one day that was particularly painful and I was bleeding so heavily that I asked a lady I knew to come and get my kids because I couldn't take care of them at that moment. I ended up driving myself to the ER where David was working, and he checked my blood to make sure I didn't need a transfusion. I had to stay there for a little bit because I felt so light headed I couldn't drive. The hospital in Twin was happy to admit me, but I really hate staying in the hospital, so I just waited until I could make it home. It's nice to have an ER PA for a husband sometimes.

So now we're moving forward as fast as we can now that I'm feeling better. It seems that we're always in a race against the weather each Fall, and this year is no different. Today we got some of the drywall up, which we need to have in place before the insulation is blown into the wall cavities in a few days. We got all the heating ducts the other day, and will be hurrying as fast as we can to get them in place and the heater reconnected. The forecast is for cold and rain in a couple of days, so we're very motivated.

Rustic Cabin look is steadily leaving

I just had to add this one. Bridget lined up a bunch of stuffed animals (she's sitting on one or two of them) and was talking to them. It was so cute. (Yes, the one piggytail is kind of wonky, but I've been having some piggytail issues ever since I started trying them in her hair. It's a good thing she won't remember this...or maybe she will now that it's on the blog.)
