I Hate Daylight Savings Time...

Even though I go to bed early, my body still knows that it's 4am when I wake up. By noon, I'm dead tired...

Weekend Update
Let's see...

Friday, I took over a load of garage stuff, installed some garage shelving, and installed the laundry room cabinet. I could have installed the cabinet an inch or so further from the wall...

Saturday, I moved a bunch of garage stuff and shelves over and organized it all. I finished the master closet and installed the laundry room shelf. Mitch was feeling much better by Saturday afternoon...although he still wanted momma to comfort him.

Sunday, I moved the rest of the garage stuff and shelving(we have so much garage stuff because we didn't unpack everything when we moved in - we didn't want to repack). I organized everything and built simple platforms to get the boxes off the floor. I also hung mini blinds in the kids' rooms and cut them to length. Finally, I pircked up and arranged cinder blocks under the deck to prevent the dogs from going under it...

Lisa's been busy too. Besides taking care of the kids pretty much all the time (which is a fulltime job), she has been making arrangements for utilities, garbage, cable, cleaning, landscaping, cement work, house cleaning, carpet cleaning, and much more that I don't know about and totally take for granted. :-D So...she's pretty much been surfing the 'Net the whole time...

Everything that was planned for the weekend was completed!

An Epiphany
I figured it out!! The way to correctly estimate how long it takes (me) to complete a job is to estimate the time (like i did before). Then...double it. Or, triple it but usually double...Sometimes quadruple...but rarely....

Did I mention that I was tired...?
