Chaos. That is what our life is like right now. I can’t even begin to describe what it’s like to get your house ready to sell. Our entire kitchen is on our dining room table. Our downstairs bedroom is currently strewn around our living room/dining room. The amount of boxes all over our house is insanity. Oh and moving your clothes from closet to closet is super fun.
Now, I know that all the chaos we are living in right now is going to be worth it. I know that we need to do this to get the most out of our house. But I’m getting tired of it. I’m tired of not feeling settled and having to live on someone else’s schedule (contractors). I am tired of being woken up earlier than I wanted to and having random people in my house.
I’m tired of eating out – oh am I tired of this. Yes, I could cook in my kitchen, but did you not see the statement above? My entire kitchen is spread across our dining room table. And everything is stacked on top of each other. It’s hard enough to get a glass or a plate – let alone some kind of spice to cook with. It’s frustrating and I am so ready for this to be over.
Eating out is costly. Not only does it cost money, but it also costs me my confidence in the kitchen. I had so much momentum in the kitchen before we started our renovation and now that I can’t cook anything, I can’t remember what that momentum felt like. I grasp at it, but I can’t find it. I reach out, but there is nothing there to touch…and there goes that momentum and confidence. Will I ever find it again and get it back? I can’t answer that, unfortunately…at least not yet.
Eating out is also not so good on my waistline. I know that this is a Weight Watchers blog, and it still is…but right now, it’s hard to write about Weight Watcher friendly recipes when I’m not cooking. So please hang tight with me and I will be back to a normal schedule once I have a kitchen back. This is torture and much worse than I originally thought!
