Day 16- Delicate Balance

I am learning that doing a bit of fixing up on our new home can be quite consuming. It seems that we've created quite the pile of to-do lists for the new home. Some things are going quite fast while other projects are taking more time than expected.
I hear that is normal, yet there was one thing I wasn't prepared to handle: Both homes.
With so much focus on the new home, my duties on the condo have fallen down a bit. There is a delicate balance here that I am finding out.
Where to put my attention and when?!?
Dishes here, wallpaper there. Trash here, watering there.
So in the midst of it all, I am torn between two worlds.

Balance is key here.
So Sunday we decided to keep God priority and take time to go to church.
It was actually nice not to put the work clothes down for awhile and to dress up a bit. LOL

But then it was time to get those clothes back on and do some more improvements to the house.

Bandana Bunch.
I actually felt a bit empowered with the bandana on. It felt good.
So today's task was of course Wall Paper removal and a bit of saw dust.
Mom loves to create a saw dust festival in my house.
She sends it flying....

I send it to the dump....

Then there is the balance of the kiddos.
It's not easy to have the kiddos around during all this change. They've been absolutely wonderful helpers, but sometimes they just need to stay home and play.
So we've been fortunate to have helpers come over and help them.
So whether it's TeePees at the new house
or TeePees at the condo, giving the kiddos some fun time as been a necessary thing to do.

Finally, back at the new, there was another first.
I watered my entire yard for the first time.

Hooray. It's done. 
I hope I kept in my 15 minute time frame.
