We did it.  We made it.  The last phase of our remodel is done.  The downstairs bathroom that our contractor told us would take 10 days and actually took about 90 is done.  Finished.  Complete. Dunzo.  Over.

Not only is the bathroom done but the contractor is…..Thank God.  No more strangers in the house.  No more random men taking dumps in my bathroom.  No more cleaning up cigarette butts.  No more trying to figure out what they are saying about me in polish.  You know when you just know that someone is talking about you?  That happens to me on a daily basis.  I think the head honcho thinks I am a giant crotchety mom who watches to much Bravo and lets my kids run wild.  Sometimes I do watch too much Bravo when I am not working or the kids are napping and yes, my kids are a little wild.  They will actually be confused when the workmen stop coming.  They call the painter “Uncle Ranko” and think that every screwdriver, hammer or measuring tape belongs to “Mr. Mark”.

Is it weird that I put a picture of us (ahem, a GIANT one at that) in the bathroom?  I guess when I was choosing what should go there I was dreaming of being back in Cancun and out of this weather.  I guess I wanted people to take a dump, think of the tropics and look at our backsides.  Actually, I have a “no dumping rule” that I will enforce for this bathroom.  My parents have a specific bathroom at their house that we all refer to as the “poop bathroom”.  It is far removed from the main hangout room so if you have to go number 2 you do not have to leave everyone in the kitchen/great room gasping for air after you do your business.  There is nothing worse than when someone takes a dump like that.  I will never understand that.    Although I am not sure I am going to be able to enforce this rule with my son L.A.  That kid likes his bowel movements and he likes to take his sweet ass time while doing so.  I have NEVER understood this.  Never.  Why do guys do this?  Why would you want to sit there and marinate in a giant brown cloud of stench?   L.A. actually asked for a book the other day and I refused.  Do your business and beat it.
