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...]
Far from Perfect
I had a friend over for lunch yesterday. I thought it was supposed to be today, but then I got an email from her on Wed. night asking if we were still on for "tomorrow." Uh, sure! Yesterday and today were both equally fully scheduled, so it really didn't matter. And hey, I'm so much less paranoid about the dreaded doorbell. The problem? … [Read more...]
I’m Done I’m Done I’m Done I’m Done I’m Done I’m Done!
Obnoxious title, I know. But I'M DONE!!!!!! I have officially gone back over every square inch of the walls in my office and removed the ever-so-lovely teeny tiny bits of wallpaper and then gone back over them again with the scrubby side of a sponge, and then gone back over them again with the sponge side of the sponge. Whew! I'm tired. If … [Read more...]
A Few Comments from my Family
My son - "But Mom, I just wore these undies a few days ago!" (I had to explain that I'm doing better on laundry now, and they really were clean.)My husband (after spilling the dog's water in the playroom) - "Seriously, we don't have a single dirty towel in this house?"My husband - "You're doing so good. I really feel like we could have people … [Read more...]
Daily Checklist
Today was Pumpkin Math at my son's kindergarten. So fun. They estimate and then measure the weight, number of seeds, circumference, etc. We had a blast and it's nice to feel like a hero. My son had told his teacher that I am a professional pumpkin cutter, because I won a contest last year at church. It's nice to be the best at something in … [Read more...]
Tackle it . . . whenever
This was supposed to be my Tackle It Tuesday post. I gave myself 10 minutes to get this done, but then the phone rang twice, and my daughter walked in with a kooshball pencil topper stuck in her hair. Really stuck. As in, it looked like I just might have to cut it out. But I didn't. Anyway, it's now Thursday and I'm posting this. Even though … [Read more...]

And what's even more shocking, it's what I was actually thinking, too!No internal inappropriate language or anything. Our office/guest room is ready. The half-bath in that … [Read more...]
Like Mother, Like Daughter (AAAAHHHH!)
I worked on my daughter's room this morning. It was scary. Scary to anyone who might happen to pass by, but especially scary to a mom who struggles with chaos and clutter and desperately doesn't want to pass this on to her children. My daughter is three. She is at an age when she should be able to start picking up her room on her own, with … [Read more...]
Needing to slow down!
I try to make this clear pretty often. Although the most prominent areas of our home are doing pretty well since I started this process, the peripheral areas, such as the bedrooms, closets, pantries, cabinets, and any and every drawer are still incredibly scary. We've been having Sunday night home groups meet in our home for the past few weeks … [Read more...]
