If you haven't already heard we moved to Arizona for Cason's school and bought a house. Yay. What you might not have heard is that we bought a house that needs a little, should we say, TLC.
We got the keys Tues afternoon and imediatly started working. We took the shop vac in and sucked up all the loose dirt, blinds, corners, carpet corners, everything really. then we scrubbed the cabnits, walls, closets, removed doors and took off awful wall paper boarder in two rooms and a bathroom. (never under any circumstances put up wall paper!)
Day 2 started painting, trim, primer, walls, and scrubbed the cabnits again, finished Cales room and bathroom. measured for carpet.
Day 3 started painting the rest of the house. Water got turned off around 11:30am. our fault we forgot to get it switched to our name. So they couldn't turn it on until the next day, so we went shopping. Got refridgerator, lights, garage door openers, chair rail and some other little things. came home took a 3 hour nap. Now getting Cason ready for orientation tomarrow. Tomarrow I am suposed to scrub the grout and clean all the tile.
If there is anything I have learned from this, so far, three day experiance it's
1. some projects are fun (and I and actually enjoying this stessful process.)
2. I will NEVER paint a whole house again. (maybe a room or a bathroom. maybe)
3. I will NEVER own a dog or another cat ( I have seen enough animal hair to last me a lifetime.)

Congrats on the house! So exciting! I know exactly what you mean about painting a whole house...by the end you HATE IT. And we only painted our whole upstairs, we didn't touch the basement!! Animal hair in a house is DISGUSTING. Our dog is an outdoor dog only and it's for that reason, except when it's really cold and I cave and let her lay on the rug by the back door! Tell Cason good luck with school:)
Man... sounds like you guys have you hands full. So fun though. Congrats on the house and the move! I hope Cason likes school, and you guys enjoy Arizona!
