We are doing a kitchen remodel. Nick and I have wanted to do this for 8 years. A dream come true! Now that it is happening, we are in the midst of a nightmare. We have been with out a working kitchen for 2 weeks. I have learned so much from this experience.
The project was to start in February. Due to a hiccup, they could not start until March. I handled that situation with grace. People were amazed at how I was so calm and cool while dealing with complete craziness. Since the construction started and we lost the use of our kitchen, I have turned into a complete witch! I have no patience, I am grumpy, and my poor husband has to put up with this behavior. He is a saint.
I spent some time trying to figure out why I am not happy while this change, that I have desperately wanted, takes place. I believe it is due to the fact that we are eating out everyday. We love to eat at home. We eat pretty normal. I would say healthy, but we do eat some evil foods, so lets just stick with normal. When we started this process, we thought we would have salads everyday and lose weight while we have no kitchen. I had visions of chopping all sorts of raw foods at our dining room table. Ha! We have either dined out or brought home take out every single night. I am sick of it! I have people in my house all the time and there are loud noises and weird smells. Dust is everywhere! The dogs are being needy as they don't understand what is happening. Everywhere I go, they follow closely. I feel like I am leading a school of fish!
Enough! The positives? The crew are very respectful and it looks like we only have one more week to go before they will finish. We have some great friends and family who have taken us in and fed us. When it is over, we will have an awesome new kitchen! Once we have it back, I believe we will be eating at home for awhile. Wahoo!
