I’ve been installing sheetrock this week. On the ceilings, as well as the walls. I finally collapsed last night. I thought the insulation installation was exhausting! I did this kind of stuff in the living room a few years ago, and even though the work was hard, I don’t remember being so bushed… what happened?! I am totally exhausted. As desperate as I am to get our home back to “normal” and as desperately as I wasnted to install sheetrock today… I just can’t. I am forced to rest. I must be getting old or something, lol. :brudder:
Lin at Duck and Wheel With String suggested that we bloggers initiate a “Blog Off,” where we totally disconnect from the computer, electronics, the media, etc for the weekends. I like that idea, although weekends are some of my most productive days. But these days I haven’t been blogging as much, anyway. When I’m not renovating or cleaning up after renovating, I’m working my job or doing multitudes of other stuff. But the principle is a good one. Everyone needs a break. :D
Anyway, it seems my blogs have lately attracted the attentions of advertisers and sponsors- I’ve been getting offers like crazy for about two weeks now. The offers are very nice, and I am tempted to take them all, because the money I make is buying my sheetrock, my cabinets, my flooring… but I don’t want to ruin my blogs. I dislike ads and sponsored posts plastered all over the place; I’m sure you must, too. I do try to talk about products or things that are helpful, good tips, interesting news, etc. Some like it, some don’t. But these things are paying for my new kitchen, so it’s all for a good cause! 
So today is a perfect day to call it quits from renovating, and rest today. It’s too hot and humid to work much, anyway. I’m hoping I can still stick to my last-week-of-August deadline for this renovation project…
Here is where I express my zany, creative, motherly side. Read more
