A Working Birthday

What should have been a fun birthday for Jim turned out to be a working day. I worked him to death! I was determind to get our bathroom done and since I don't have a lot of spare time at home, yesterday was my day to finish the room. IT'S DONE! I still have to get a bath mat or rug and hang some pictures, but the work is done. I finished painting and then Jim showed me how to caulk around the tub by doing one end and then turned it over to me. I did a good job, too. We then installed the curved shower curtain and finished the job.

The only thing Jim does when I'm painting that I don't like is to come in and point out all the spots I missed. I kick him out when he does that (several times yesterday). He was a great help and I appreciated it.
I also got the idea that I needed to clean Ammon's room so I basically gutted it and started over. We put a treasure box together to keep things that mean something but there is no room to display so much "stuff." It's a very clean, organized room now.
Jim did get a nice nap during the afternoon and then after dinner he and I watched the movie we got him for his birthday, "One Good Man," about a newly called bishop. It was an enjoyable movie. I was dead tired by the end of the day and Jim probably was, too. I don't think this was the way he planned to spend his 62nd birthday but that's how it went down.
Thanks to all of you for calling him. It really added joy to his day.
We love you Dad!

The bathroom looks great and I speak from experience when I say, "The toilet works perfectly. It even flushes solids just fine."

Jen read this and thought I was gross. But Chelsey should be used to this kind of conversation coming from me. -Jess

Love you Dad! I'm glad I was able to talk to you yesterday. The bathroom looks fantastic! Way to go.

And yes, that is gross Jess but good to know. That would be awful if it didn't flush solids down!
