I got a phone call at 6.10pm.
Your vinyl has arrived. I know it’s short notice, but can we start work tomorrow?
I hesitated for barely a second before agreeing. If I put it off, it might be another 3 weeks before my bathroom and kitchen floor is replaced and honestly, I’m sick of the current sight of it.
I hung up and spent the next 10 minutes freaking out.
They are pulling up my floor TOMORROW.
They are pulling up my FLOOR.
MY FLOOR! They are pulling it up! TOMORROW.
Needless to say, Nathan was rolling his eyes at me by the end of my spiel. But dude, you don’t realise. They are pulling up my floor. My kitchen and bathroom floor.
I might be hyperventilating a little.
Because you know what else is happening this week? I’m getting horses. Two of them. They are coming from a lovely home, she’d rescued them previously. They aren’t in great condition, but they should build up fast enough here.
Horses.
Which is lovely. I haven’t had horses in years and I still miss them.
But the work to get my property ready before Saturday when they’re being delivered is huge. My stable, which had been used by the previous owners as storage, needs cleaning out, I need to head out and pick up some hay, I need to have chaff and stuff on hand because the grass won’t last forever and oh my god, the work.
I’m fully prepared for the work. Looking forward to it in fact, [I need water containers and feed containers and I need to comb over the paddock (again) for glass and wire and I need to clean the stable and double (triple) check the fences again and ohmygodthestableneedscleaningbecauseyoudon’twanttoknowwhatIfoundinthere] and I’m going to love having horses again.
But did I mention they are pulling up my floor tomorrow? My kitchen and bathroom floor? And that they’ll be here for 3 days, working on it? THREE days, with small children needing to eat and showers needing to be taken and ohmygod.
I’m going to be a busy, busy girl. (Not busty like I first typed. Not unless Isaac suddenly decides that boobs are boring and I don’t think that is going to happen.)
I’m looking forward to it.
I think.
Right after I stop hyperventilating.
Its good to be busy. You will love it, tired I’m sure but busy is good. Yay for the horses and yay for the new floor.
Hehehehehe Fantastic post, my busty girl. I am grinning from ear to ear. I will see you tomorrow.
How exciting and even more exciting. Busy but all good, I hope.

I can share some of my vodka with you. Only if you want too. Heh heh!
I don’t know how you can have the energy to look after two horses with such a little one. We have been looking after a rabbit and guinea pig for a week and am secretly happy that they are going home tomorrow!
How exciting! New floors and new horses! Something to plan for and smile about. I’m happy for you, Veronica.
so much excitement so little time …hope you find a few extra hours up your sleeve or some helpers !
Yay new floor!!
Yay new horses!!
Yay new floor!!
Yay new horses!!
Umm damn girl, you WILL be busy then!!
Honey, I’m thrilled that you’re freaking out about good stuff. That’s awesome. Make sure to post some photos of your horses!
Woo hoo! Floors and horses. Busy, busy busy Veronica! Hope you’re getting some help with all the clearing out jobs.
Yay!!! I’m so jealous about the horses! 🙂 The floors will be a minor inconvenience but they’ll be lovely in the end. I’d pack up a bunch of food that you don’t need the kitchen for and keep it somewhere else in the house so you can easily feed the kids. Maybe even bring the microwave out if you can? Have fun! And breathe. 🙂
all the very best of luck with it..
yay to new floors and horses..
wow horses.. 🙂
WOW I don’t know how it’s all going to get done. I’m overwhelmed thinking about it and my shoulders don’t pop out of joint.
Horses! I haven’t been riding in years. On the other hand, it would probably be cruel to the animal to put this fat ass on a horse. I’m glad you’ve got horses coming. They make WONDERFUL friends, they’ll listen to you when you’ve a gripe to vent and they will NOT judge you. Lucky you.
Busy much? 😉 So much for you resting….
Horses, how beautiful. Once you managed to get through the 3 days of ripped up floor, you’re going to love your new look kitchen and bathroom too. 🙂 It’s all happening!
Are you mad?! Where will you find the time!!!
But, horses…. I’m envious (although not of all the work).
Wow, that is a lot. I freak out over stuff like that too. It’s like I think the whole house has to be spotless because someone is coming to pull up the bathroom floor. Duh.
Take a deep breath!
You’ll be so busy that it will go by quickly.
I’m not sure which is more exciting – horses or new floors? It’s pretty much a tie. Congratulations and take pictures of both!
PHARK! Yes, I might be a writer and all that, but that’s the only word that immediately sprung to mind when reading this post….
Oh and ‘best of luck’!
Horses. Oh my God. HORSES!! And a new floor too. I know which one I’d be more excited about. And it doesn’t have four legs. Don’t get me wrong, I love horses. I just love them from a distance.
Horses and floors are good.
Yay for a new floor! That will be so wonderful when it’s done.
I can’t believe you’re getting horses! How wonderful for the whole family!
It’s only 3 days…and heck somewhere between my lagging behind and right this minute, you might already be done.??? And then it’ll be done. DONE.
I can’t even imagine how many spoons it’ll take to prepare for horses!!!
scary and annoying yes, but EXCITING! HORSES! NEW FLOORS!
YAY!
Dude, you’re getting HORSES? I am so envious of you! I love horses. Never owned them, and I can count on one hand the times I’ve ridden them. Can I come over and play with the horsys? 😀
