As you can see I still have alot to do. Busy busy mamma.
Am I missing anything?
Of course, what do I do when I get up this morning? I decide I need to start a completely different project! What is wrong with me???
It started with good intentions. I began finishing the bedside table for our bedroom, but I had the paint out and the paintbrushes and thought might as well keep going. I touched up our entire kitchen cabinets. Man, the white paint on them needs constant attention. Lets just say you can tell which cupboards get used the most.
While I was at it, I decided the bedroom doors needed a coat of fresh white paint. During this time I realized the bathroom door and closet door in our bedroom are not white but off white, which meant I had to do two coats on them. So here it is noon and I have not even vacuumed my house or taken a shower and am completely covered in paint.
Guess I will start my list tomorrow!
Oh! You forgot all about the Holidays! What about all the cooking, baking, shopping, gift-wrapping, parties, the two weeks Ezra’a outta school, the trip to Disneyland, and the loving and nurturing your sweet, precious children! How unfair it is that our list is never complete! (My list looks just like that, too!) Maybe we should pick five of the most important and be happy with that? Or reward ourselves with a pedicure after the first five. I don’t know, but I certainly think a reward is in order so we don’t get discouraged and feel like we failed.
Did I tell you I wrote a play last year for church that was 20 pages of rhyming (For the Christmas dinner)descibing this very thing?
But I have a feeling you will complete it and I hope it goes smoothly for you! I’ll cheer you on, girl!
