Remodel, Interrupted

Forget "Girl, Interrupted", I'm starring in "Remodel, Interrupted"! LOL

If you've followed me for a bit, you know I have been working on my Mom's house.

The job entails the placement of new insulation, walls, ceiling, restoring the awesome wooden floor and a few other details. Oh yeah, the outside needs to be redone too.

Sooo ... here's what happened today (pics courtesy of my son's DS):

No, it wasn't while I was reliving my glory days as a contractor 10+ years ago. Contrary to what my camo pants may have you believer, it wasn't even while my son and I were out adventuring in the woods.

It happened when I went to rescue my Mom. (She'd locked herself out of her car 30+ miles away from home.)

Sure, I've been complaining about wanting time to just sit still and concentrate on my writing but this? This is so NOT what I had in mind.

We stuffed a new garbage bag with a spare pillow so the ice pack wouldn't ruin it. You can see my son's homeschool stuff strewn around me. It hurts to stand and write on the dry erase board I have for my son's homeschool lessons and I'm too short sitting down. Horrors! This was our best alternative.

Ironic, isn't it? I thank God I wasn't injured by tools, a utility knife or falling drywall or something. I have to admit though. I'm kinda embarrassed that I injured myself doing something simple. Walking to greet my Mom.

Have fun, stay safe and God bless,
