More home imporvement projects...

We have lived in our home for 3 years. Now we are trying to get it ready to sell. So we are getting our dining room floors refinished once and for all. It has needed it badly, but we had other projects that needed our attention until now. So we are finally going to get our wood floor looking gorgeous (I hope at least!) again. We also decided to get our living room a fresh coat of paint and Jonas and Maddie's room a new color. Josh said there was no way he wanted to paint it, so we have been getting estimates from people. It hasn't been fun at all picking names out of the phone book of people we do not know at all. I ended up missing the meeting with the first guy I was supposed to get an estimate from (he says it was 11a.m. Josh told me 11:30a.m. and I wasn't home) I tried to reschedule with him. After being called "honey" about 10 times in the conversation, and then him giving me a quote over the phone without even being inside our house, then being told to call him after I met with others, I told him I wanted him to come give me an estimate. Today he sent someone else, I think he really didn't want to deal with me. It annoyed me because the guy didn't seem to really be the one in charge, or know what he was doing. Regardless the price was more than we can afford so their loss. Then the next guy came an hour earlier than we said... don't these guys know how to tell time??? Luckily I was home and I was glad he came earlier. His price was high too. Tomorrow we meet with someone who was recommended to us, and hopefully it will be in our budget because he was polite, and keeps his word as he said he'd call and he did!
This weekend we're going up to Busch Gardens for season pass holders for St.Patricks day, it's the first time this year they've been open, so it should be fun, and we're staying the night in a hotel tomorrow and Saturday, so it will be a fun mini trip! I can't wait! So Happy St. Patricks Day a few days early!
