I just had to share this with someone who would understand!

TIRED:
We have been working on our (forever) farmhouse getting it ready to move into it in the spring!! It was built for our retirement home but it was where my Dh's mother lived for 15yrs, before her death a yr ago! So, I have been cleaning, carting off, giving away and redo things that I wanted to redo for us.. BUT the main thing was cleaning!! The really deep cleaning that means everything from the ceiling, lights, cabinets and all the way down to redo the floors!! Well, I finally finished the kitchen, dining and living rooms! Just dismantling the ceiling fans in three rooms, washed/scrubbed every pc and put them back together... and it took all day!! I won't go into how dirty this place is... but I am doing it all and will have EVERYTHING (well almost) finished before Christmas..

EXCITED: that we will finally be living in our dream home/place.. I will be able to have goats and sheep, more bees and chickens..AND I will be right there with the garden--not traveling 30 miles to work, gather, plant etc.. REALLY excited..

HAPPY: I have been able to do all the cleaning myself and dh has been able to do all the repairs!! Saving tons of money..

Thanks for letting me share... I will post pictures soon..

Wow! All that hard work, but it will be so worth it to finally be in your forever farmhouse!

What kind of sheep are you going to get?
