What have I gotten myself into

I went to pick out carpet samples and scheduled an appointment tomorrow for measuring.

I have a ranch style house that I will be having the entire main level re-carpeted (living room/dining room, 3 bedrooms, family room, hallways, basement stairs).

If anyone has ever put in new carpet you know what a nightmare it can be. My kids and I have already started clearing out closets and moving some stuff down to the basement.

I swear this is worse than just moving. I will pay extra to have them move some of the bigger heavier pieces of furniture but for the most part I want us to handle most of the furniture moving.

Once I get the estimate and they have my sig. on the paperwork it will take about three weeks for the carpet to come in, so at least we have time to get things in order.

I know I will love it when it's done but holy gaucamole what was I thinking.

So, tomorrow between 2 & 4 my new awning gets installed and around 4 the carpet guy comes to measure.

Again.....What the heck was I thinking!

Oh ..way toooo much work LeeAnn! I'm tired just thinking of all that you have to do.... But, it will be so nice when it's all in and oh so purty....

Don't overdo... pace yourself....

We did carpet a couple of years ago in our ranch-style house. It was a real pain moving the furniture. Fortunately the weather was nice and we just put everything outside on the deck!

Hey, Taff! Why does your moodometer read "sad"???

We need to know about these things, girl! Out with it!

Oh...I will get over it. You know how it is. There just are things that you want to do and this stupid MS won't let you.

I should just be happy that I can walk...but what I really want to do is go to scout camp and hang out with 20 little boy scouts like I have done for the past 12 years.
But the camp is HUGE and not really a safe place for someone like me anymore.

Then, this is the year for the 50 Miler hike in the Olympics National Park. I have been before and I want to choke the scouts that whine and think that they can't do it.

I just thought that if I was the one to give it it up first..(before they hauled be out on a stretcher) and not MS telling me I had to give it up, that it would not hurt so darn bad. (but it does)

Oh well...who wants to sleep on the hard ground, smell like smoke, eat crappy camp food, or even worst...freeze dried? (Taffy raising hand)

(Stomping off to burn some Peeps............)

ME! I WANT TO DO ALL OF THAT AGAIN! *grabbing Taff by the shirt* C'mon! Let's go crash someone else's fire and eat crappy camp food!

Call your NMSS loan closet and borrow a 4-wheel scooter, that'll get you around camp in style.

Well, go to Olympic for the walk and be a cheerleader! Carry bandaids for blisters and water for the weary! The event will still be there, even if you're not actually hiking it, go be a part of it somehow. I'll even choke BoyScouts with ya' just for fun!

*grabbing daypack and garrotte*

Thanks for the laugh Cindy! It would be fun to choke those boys!

The hike should be awesome. 57 miles. 3 passes! Lots of high county. Should be beautiful. I hope they see tons of elk and bear. (that makes me )

I guess what I do get to do......since it is a young group....

After we drop the group off I will stay and camp for a couple of days in case someone bags it and needs to come out early.

So it will be just me and a few unsuspecting peeps! (rubbing hands together)

Then, oh boy, I drive around to the other side of the park and hope that the group makes it out alive.

If they do they are rewarded with Costco type dogs and chili and well, this huge lunch I fix.

Alright which boy scouts do you want to choke some sense into?
