Painting

We have a bar that separates the kitchen and living room. The wall under the bar is filthy and I've wanted hubby to tile it since we moved into the house. Well, almost three years later, I finally figured out that wasn't going to happen. Yes, I know I'm slow! :-) I found this faux technique and did the wall. We all LOVE it....so much so that we decided to paint the ENTIRE interior of our house. Yes, you may laugh at me!

Masterbedroom: DONE.

Hall: DONE

Entryway: DONE

Kitchen: Not done....and now hubby has left on a major job for work for 8-10 weeks........as if I'm going to climb a 6 ft. ladder and finish it!!! All that is left is the small inch or so next to the ceiling!

Living room: not even started, but that's better than not being finished!

OOOHHHHHH how I hate unfinished projects that I can't finish!!! So, should your honey do list not be long enough, feel free to send him my way and I can find plenty o' work for him! :-)

Uninvited Guests

We have uninvited guests in our attic and garage: MICE!!! Cute in a story, not when they are leaving poop on your stuff and it is just plain creepy!!!! Thank the Lord they've never ventured into the casa!

We've set traps and have moved onto poison. You can see holes in the insulation where they are burrowing!! I have stuff up in the attic that I need to get to, but I won't go up there b/c I don't want to accidentally run into one.

We think we have curbed the problem, but they have now decided they like the view from the pool and are burrowing in the dirt between the pool and flower bed!!! YIKES! Silly little creatures. So, now there is poison hidden out there (have child, don't want her or the dog getting ahold of it!). Not my idea of fun!!!

Pirates

Did you know that at our local Home Depot we have pirates? Well we have at least one, according to my child.

We are strolling through the HM, in the ORANGE car-cart (which, BTW, is not easy to manage) and there is a gentleman with a lot of hair, not well brushed and a very unkept beard.

"Momma, is he a pirate?"

OMG, did he hear that???? Is he going to come and get us? "No baby, he's not a pirate." And walk as quickly away as we can!!!

Compliments

How well do you take them? When someone gives you a compliment, do you say a thank you and let it go? Or are you like me and have to explain where it came from, or how old it is?

I've been listening to others and I'm not the only one with this weird problem. By why is this????

Just pondering.....

Self-dresser

This is a dress from Hawaii (her dancing dress as she calls it), a pair of purple leggings and slippers! This is what she wore to school today (minus the shoes b/c it was actually raining when we left the house and she didn't want to get them wet!).

No Comments Necessary

So....yes, I am WELL aware of the distance between posts. You think that I don't realize this? If I told you my life was hectic, would you believe it? It is, but whose isn't?

Basically, I need a Blog Babysitter, to come occupy my child for a small bit of time while I blog. Crazy, huh? I have a LIST of things to blog about...just not the time. By the time child is in bed, I'm too exhausted to even THINK about getting on the computer!!

So, yes, feel sorry for me and pray that I find the strength to find my blog list and get off my duff and post!!! Love ya and miss ya!!! :-) AND have LOTS to tell ya about!
