snowball effect

I need to replace the flooring in my home

bathrooms

living room

playroom

library

bedrooms

hall

steps

really, every room but the kitchen

I am planning to put hardwood downstairs

to carpet the steps, hall and bedrooms

and to lay new tile or linoleum in the bathrooms

when I start planning stuff like this

I tend to think of everything that is involved-

moving furniture

taking baseboard trim off of walls

repainting before the flooring goes down

while I am at it, 

I may as well go ahead and put in the pedestal sinks I want in the bathrooms

and I need make sure the toilets, the shower & the tub are all okay

and I have been flirting with the idea of a whirlpool tub for awhile,

so this afternoon I was looking at whirlpool tubs online

my motto: "if you are going to dream, dream big!"

if you have children and are familiar with Laura Numeroff

this is probably sounding like one of her books

"If you give a Mouse a Cookie", ...a Moose a Muffin, ...A Pig a Pancake, etc.

I like this whirlpool tub

it is unlike any others I looked at

I think it is cool to be able to see the water

but I didn't know whether to laugh or cry

when I read the side note on the website

Water in Whirlpool Tub not included

this evening I am still shaking my head 
and wondering what happened 
that makes that disclaimer necessary

I also pause and question
"Does God ever shake His head at me 
and wonder what in the world is going on in my head?"

I know every day I am in awe of Him
and I shake my head at the wonder
of who I am in Him
