Functional Cross Training

May 9, 2011 by MCM Mama 13 Comments

Remember that basement renovation I’ve mentioned?  Well,  I got a call from my contractor this morning saying they’d be here in an hour!!  Holy Crap!!

I quickly dropped Jones off at school and then got one of Shoo’s friends to take him to their house.  I spent the next 1.5 hours dumping stuff in laundry baskets and the few remaining boxes I have.  I moved furniture (I am woman, hear me roar!).  I carried boxes.  I went up and down my stairs at least 50 times.  I got so warm, I actually was down to shorts and a running bra at one point.

But, I did it!  The basement was ready when they arrived.

My living room?  It’s seen better days…

(Mondetta winner will be announced after I manage to clear a path through my living room and kitchen…)

    Ah, yes, I've had a living room look very similar during renovation! Good luck living with the re-model.

    oh my gosh!! that is awesome. I kind of like that last minute 'get it done' moments rather than stressing about it for 2 days!!

    Nice way to hustle. Although, I think your living room now looks like you might be on Hoarders: Buried Alive any day now 😉

    Looks like it's time for a Goodwill purge… 😉 I'd be stressed to have everything from other rooms crammed into one! Good luck on that path!

    Too much fun, can't wait to see the finished product! We're about to replace all our carpet and some flooring. ACK! 🙂

Kicking Off 2021 with a Big Ole Cup of Coffee

Kicking Off 2021 with a Big Ole Cup of Coffee

I’m not one to stay up super late on NYE, but ironically, last night I was up late thanks to insomnia. Thank you 2020 for one last kick in the teeth. So, I’m up a bit later than normal and sucking down caffeine like it’s my job. Seems appropriate to hook up with Deb and […]
