Its a Friday night and its been one heck of a week.  I am mentally preparing myself for next week as well.   Its weird to me how I'm getting more and more of the pieces of my puzzle (so to speak) put together and yet my ex husband seems to keep needing/wanting me to handle his crap.  Some how I'm made to feel guilty or I'm the bad guy when I can't... or simply don't want to do something.  This weekend his crap means he drops the ball and I have to change my plans.   Its just really frustrating. I am trying to coparent but its draining and its leaving me without even a chance to catch my breath. And I think what happens when I get to add back in my working out?  how is that gonna happen?  =(
So anyways its Friday night and I'm such a party animal that we went grocery shopping and came home and I had a beer and the kids and I ate pizza rolls for dinner.  Yup I totally ditched the responsible parent thing and we had pizza rolls, the kids had soda and I had a beer. (by the way "blithering idiot" is a strong but good beer).

After dinner I touched up the cabinets and did another coat on some of the cabinet doors and touched up the edges on some of the others.  I am bound and determined to get them rehung by the end of the weekend. I also did a bit more sewing on the piano key valances.

 I just need at least one room basically done by the end of the weekend.  I don't mind a few little things here and there for it but honestly just one room done!  I think the easiest/closest to that point is either the kitchen/dining room or Bean's room.   In some ways if things fall into place we could get them both done.  I know for sure that I will have at least 2 people here who have already helped get tons done.   (hopefully at least a third as well) And ideally the washer/dryer hooked up and able to be used.   This laundromat thing  is getting way way old by now.

I also managed to get a couple friends who have some maps that I can have. I'm planning to use them to cover the yucky shelves that are built in in Bean's room.  Just need to pick them up.

Forward we move..... with fingers crossed.
