Intermittent

That's been my blogging recently, right?  I miss it.  The past few weeks are eaten up with taking care of Eliza, working on the house, and various other things and it's rare I get a moment where I have both the internet, no pressing cleaning to do, and Eliza down for a nap (otherwise she really doesn't like it when I'm on the computer).  (As in right now: I had wondered that she was letting me sit here and type away, and I turned to find that she has found my Bible in the diaper bag and was having a grand old time.  Thankfully, no damage is done.  As a side note, I love the fact that she's so fascinated by our Bibles, I'm not hot on the destruction she'd do if we let her really have them.)  So, sadly, until some things change, I may not be on here as much as I'd like.

As an update: current things going on in the house.  We have cleaned (and I should say my mom, mother-in-law, and a friend of the family have cleaned) the apartment, gotten the trimmed taped, cracks mudded, and primer is going on the walls.  Plus, the bathtub area of the bathroom has been demolished and is almost (once the mess is cleaned up) ready for the plumber.  We'll have to have an electrician come in and look at the wiring, because we found some knob and tube on old light/outlets where we want to put in sconces.  We also have discovered that the window in what will be our bedroom is defunct.  As in, the glass is coming away from the wood.  We can't get the window to shut fully, either, so heat is pouring in (you can see the blind fluttering) that window.  So, likely, we'll be replacing the windows on the second and third floors to help cut down energy costs.  I am still hoping that we can move in by early September, but I don't know if I'm being overly optimistic or what.  I guess it will depend on how soon everyone can get in to do the work.  You might be praying for us.  Just that the work can get done, and that we don't stress out or wear out too much while trying to get it done.  It's going to be a bit of a haul!
