Enjoying My Office!!!
I finally finished painting the office last week, and I have been really happy with the color. The only problem was that I hadn't put it back together yet. So although the walls were pretty, the room was in total chaos. The furniture was still shoved together in the middle of the room. And as long as the furniture was still in chaos, I kept … [Read more...]
Daily Checklist and a "What’s the Point?" moment
Out of our three kids we don't have an official sleepwalker. We do, however, have a "sleep-pee-er." I made up that word, so you might have to sound it out to get it. Last night, less than an hour after doing my nightly task of wiping down the bathroom counters and toilets, my husband and I heard something. It was a shuffling and then a … [Read more...]
Menu Plan Monday
Has it only been a week since I made the last menu plan? It feels like forever ago. I did make a few things from the plan, but I was also blessed by someone making us a surprise meal. Here goes: Monday - chicken pot pie using the frozen cooked chicken from when I made chicken soup a few weeks ago. Tuesday - Crockpot beef over rice. I think … [Read more...]
Getting back on Track
Finally a normal Monday, except that I'm having a hard time keeping my eyes open. I thoroughly enjoyed working on and doing the show I was in this weekend, but it has reminded me why I can't do it on a regular basis at this time in my life. I knew this, but now I know this. Life, especially as a mom, is all about priorities. I'm constantly … [Read more...]
I am alive
Quick update. I've been crazy busy for the past week with the painting, rehearsals, performances, dropping off kids at grandma's an hour away, etc. Yes, it's an excuse.The state of my home? Could be a lot worse. I allowed an hour and 10 minutes to get it ready for people to come over for small groups tonight. It was BARELY enough, but it was … [Read more...]
My Painted Wall and My Aching Muscles!
I'm a zombie today! Almost every muscle in my body is aching from the painting, but IT'S DONE!!!!! I'm sorry I didn't post yesterday, but I couldn't muster the strength to type more than a few words. So here's the painted wall. I'm not ready to show the entire room since I still haven't put it back together or even taken the newspaper off … [Read more...]
Choosing the Hard Way
I can't tell you how much I wanted to skip my Daily Checklist post and just do this Tackle it Tuesday post. I love big projects with showy results. This paint job is going to make such a noticeable difference. Sweeping the kitchen and emptying the dishwasher? They're only noticeable if I don't do them. But here it is. My big tackle for today. … [Read more...]
Daily Checklist
Today's Daily Checklist is not one to be proud of. It is incomplete. I didn't wipe down bathrooms last night, or make lunches, or finish a load of laundry. I did lay out clothes, but grumbled while I did it. I didn't wake up this morning and remember to start a load of laundry.I got up early and worked on taping the last of the newspapers to the … [Read more...]
