Patience is a virtue (that I don’t have).

Y’all, this house is bugging me out right now. I am tired of living in shambles!
(Okay, maybe shambles is just a touch too dramatic…)
We’ve been here for over 2 weeks now and we still don’t have a freaking couch. Our current fridge is held together with duct tape and is crammed hideously into a wall that we’re still getting bids on taking out. We are sleeping in the guest room. We have no door mat. We really don’t have many rugs in general. Walking down to the basement on the ramshackle stairs is a life risk. There’s nothing on the walls. The kitchen sink needs caulk around it. The garden is empty. All of my precious tchotchkes are still in boxes. There are no blinds on the bedroom windows.
!!!!!!!!!!!
I know that good taste (*wink*) doesn’t happen overnight, especially when everything we buy is online and needs time to be shipped, but still. I want my home to feel HOMEY and I WANT IT NOW!
I am the most impatient person I know. This house certainly, no, DEFINITELY, is no exception.
Ugghhhhh!
(I am also ready for the marathon to be over, but that makes me sound so incredibly unsupportive so I’ll leave it at that. I am very proud of Kev but it is A LOT of time and A LOT of good, wholesome behavior.)
Anyway, I kind of just needed to bitch, so thanks for listening. I also needed to take some pictures so when everything is finally pretty and lovely and cozy I can look back and THANK THE SWEET BABY J it’s over.
Go have a looky at my flickr to see some of what I’m talking about —–>
(I am too lazy right now to post ‘em on here)
I am the same with the house being put together. I have lived here for 3 months and I’m still not done. Phooey!
Your rant definitely outdoes mine!
I hear ya!
When I moved into my first house in FL (back in the married days) we had our first set of visitors scheduled to visit the 3rd week after we moved in.
Since I wasn’t working full time, I had the house all together in 16 days. That was tough. Almost as tough as having 9 sets of visitors in 6 months.
Still, when all was said and done, it was a blast.
Yay for new houses and building equity!
