Up go the blinds

Yay we received the blinds for the kitchen that we ordered oh about a week ago from Lowes and about 7 days earlier than they said they would arrive...so not going to complain. We purchased cellular cordless blinds for the kitchen, I just didn't want untidy cords for the cats to play with or the girls (ok so they aren't going to be tall enough for a long time to play with them but still). It also just keeps the area clean which I like for the kitchen. James ordered them in pepper red and they are a nice colour. It took us oh probably an hour all told to get the first one up...first I tried but I didn't find an instruction leaflet immediately and after about 20 minutes of trying to figure out how the blind when into the brackets I found the instructions with the 2nd blind...and of course I had put the brackets in the wrong way hence the trouble. Not sure why James struggled when the put them brackets up but he took about half an hour to get the blind in (I may have slightly stripped one of the screws). So anyway one blind up another to go. If we ever get spare cash James already wants to switch our other blinds over to the cordless variety, I have to confess I likey but I think the other blinds we have up might be a bit more energy efficient something to look into for sure.

Yesterday successfully cut out another bottle on the girls, I'm slowly slowly weaning them off of the bottles, so now they only have 2 a day, one at 5 am then another before they go to bed. Both girls will drink out of a sippy cup which makes things easier. Kicking my heals at having to delay yet another Dr's apt we are like a month overdue now but can't be helped, it's such a pain in the butt to have to do it on my own I really need that 2nd pair of hands, specially when they have to have injections.

My list of things for the weekend is growing...and James is scrambling around trying to find coverage hehe. But the replacement motor for the fan in the attic has been ordered. Now we have to figure out about the fans (I suspect we will pay for someone to come in and install, James said the wiring in this place is cooky and he's not comfortable doing it at all).

Breathes ah so happy to be in such a lovely place even tho it's got issues, it's so much quieter at night here and far less traffic. Don't get me wrong I loved where we were but...but it wasn't practical and when you have neighbours and a parking lot well you get noise, and there is the freedom of being able to do my chores when I want and not having to worry about running the dishwasher after like 9 pm or the vacuum at 6 am!
