Heaven Help Us...oops, that's Heaven Helpers

Thursday dawned clear and warm...well, actually muggy and hot as H-E-double hockey sticks, but might as well put the most positive spin on things.

Thank God for PJ's coffee. I don't know how we get our hearts started properly on Edwardsville mornings, Starbucks just doesn't stack up. The guys say my coffee tastes are too frou-frou...but then, they are GUYS!!! Just 'cuz I like everything with hazelnut.

Well, we got to bathe all day...in sweat. I (Vicki) was lying on a sheet of plastic putting laminate flooring in place, in the airless stair landing and felt like I was on a slip-n-slide full of warm water.

The rest of the gang hung five regular doors and a bifold, and can now hang upstairs doors, since Dathan and I finished flooring the upstairs main room and closet.

Mark and Breezy cut and tiled the upstairs bathroom, and the tile is setting as we speak, so that they can grout it tomorrow.

Breezy and Jordan got to spend some buddy time in the lower floor bathtub...caulking around it!!!

Sadly, we haven't gotten to meet anyone from our family yet, but the princess quilt we picked for our family will be perfect in the purple bedroom with the little girl bicycle in the closet. Wonder if the bicycle will be big enough now, after all this time.

We are all loving each other as a team. What a fabulous group!!! Thank God for the all-around sense of humor. Getting to laugh so much really helps us to let the frustrations roll off us. Of course, the high-octane morning caffeine helps with that also. I think we're all a little unhinged.

BTW, "unhinged" is a new word we learned this week.
