only backgroundI'm a wife, mother and grandmother. I'm opinionated. I contradict myself frequently. Most of all, I love my kids. I believe in them. I fight for them. They're weird and wonderful. If you want to know more, here's a bunch of other stuff from my old site.
Goodbye Jacuzzi?

We built our home 15 years ago. Every year we come up with a list of things we’d like to change. One thing that my husband always wants to change but I won’t even consider is the jacuzzi. It’s huge – 5×7 – and has its own room. I use to enjoy it at least once a week but the cost of water and electricity (and propane to heat the water) is so high that I feel guilty using it. And really, I don’t think I enjoy it nearly as much as I did when we got it. So I’m considering letting my husband get rid of it.
He’s talked about putting a laundry room there but I don’t like the idea of the family having to go through my bedroom and bathroom to get to the laundry room. However, my office is right next to the jacuzzi room and accessible from the hallway. I think we could turn my office into a laundry room and turn the jacuzzi room into an office. And maybe even add an outside door and deck onto the office. Wouldn’t that be nice?
If we move the laundry room then it would need to have nicer fixtures than it has now. I’d want a front loading washer, for one thing. I also want a utility sink with a cabinet and maybe some attractive bar faucets instead of the plain utility ones my husband put in my current laundry room in the basement.
Of course, back in the real world we first have to replace the side porch that we removed when we installed our concrete sidewalks last year. I just have a feeling that now that I’ve agreed to eliminate the jacuzzi the husband may be more eager to do some remodeling. We’ll see.
