My Arms! My Arms!

| 1 Comment

I can't feel my arms. I guess that is not a correct statement. I CAN feel my arms but I can't MOVE my arms.

We are extending the ceramic tile that we have in the kitchen into our family room/office. We spend so much time in there, that the carpet is gross. No matter how hard I try to keep it clean there is just too much traffic. Hubby, the dog, the cat and I have worn a path. So we are tiling it.

But before we can lay the tile we had to remove the carpet. Then we had to remove the vinyl that the carpet was laid over. Last but the hardest, is removing the black adhesive that was used to stick the vinyl to the concrete. That is a BITCH! Who ever laid the vinyl had a thing for the glue that sticks it down.

I am all but about a 3 by 6 foot square and I just can’t do it anymore. Hubby is burnt after scraping the tile off and removing some of the pieces of tile that made the curve by the carpet. So we will take the rest of the afternoon off and begin again tomorrow.

You might have noticed that this room is ALSO our office. So we have set up our computers on the kitchen table. I would have some pictures for you but I am too tired to find my camera in this mess and snap some. Maybe later.

I am going to go take some Advil, ice my arms and take a nap now.
