A Recap...in Bullets.

Once again I’ve been mia.  Life came at me out of nowhere and that saying of “just take it one day at a time”…yeah, I’ve had more than several attack me at once.  So I’m back and allow me to recap in bullets.

-          I’m a SAHM who recently started back to work (!).  anyway, I packed up the books for kkp and sent it off for delivery which led my mom to think that if I could crank out a year’s worth of work in a week, then she would give me another client.  And again, to crank out a year’s worth of work in a week.  What’s with these people waiting until the last minute?!  Thanks, mom.  You’re so awesome.  It’s a bittersweet situation.  This past week has had me so stressed out but it’s great to know that I have work that I can do from home.

-          I stumbled across a blogger who happens to live in my neck of the woods.  Another awesome thing!  Although I’m not being quick to jump on suggesting a blate, it’s exciting to know I have a bloggy friend in driving distance.  Btw, she has a business doing custom blog designs.  Can I get a woohoo?!  I’ve been dying to re-do the look of my blog but it’s so overwhelming.  I have many thoughts going through my mind like maybe it’s too early for me to invest money into my blog or maybe I should wait until actually do something with my blog or maybe I should wait until my big project becomes a reality and I can somehow link it to my blog.  Just a couple of thoughts but now I’m thinking that it’s never too early to start.  Maybe I can do baby steps instead of doing one big step?  I don’t know.  My mind is still calming down from this past week of stress.  Which brings me to my next point…

-          Radical #2’s birthday is right around the corner.  Like in eleven days.  And I still haven’t done a.n.y.t.h.i.n.g.  ugh!  I did a lot of brainstorming but no action.  I have to change the location and I also have to tweak my ideas that I had (L).  I’m going to blame this on our little power outage we had two weeks ago.  Remember how I told y’all that the outage fried my computer, printer, tv, and phone?  Yeah, well I need my darn printer to print things for the radical’s party.  And I’ve been so caught up with work last week that I haven’t had a chance to get the printer up and running.  I’m guessing I should get on it.  Pronto!

-          Since I haven’t blogged in a while I was thinking about a post yesterday.  Silly me forgot to write my thoughts down and now I can’t remember what I was thinking.  I know it had a word starting with a ‘t’ like treacherous or terrorize or something like that.  If I could remember the word then I would be able to remember my thoughts on the post….being that this happens with everything (things I need from the grocery, people I need to call, what I’m supposed to do at what time, etc.) I’m thinking of hanging pads of paper throughout the house.  That way I can write things down all the time.  note to self: please work on not being so scatter-brained and distracted.  Find your balance.  Please and thank you.

-          The above bullet makes me think about the other projects I was working on.  I so wanted to share the outcome but remember, my camera died on me.  I took pictures with my phone but I have no idea how to get them from the phone to the computer.  I’ll admit, I’m technology-challenged so if y’all have any idea how to do that please let me know.  Speaking of cameras…the camera that I so want for my birthday is so not gonna happen because you know…I’m no professional.  But that can be for another post, maybe tomorrow.  Oh, but don’t worry, I’ll be sure to write it down.  Haha.

Happy Wednesday, Lovelies!

Green Light.

I’ve decided to kick my rear back into reality and get over whatever funky-ness  that took over my brain.  Hooray! 

I love decorating and browsing through pictures of different homes and rooms but when it comes to the home I currently live in, I need to tread softly.  My living situation is complicated and I’ve tried desperately to go with the flow without complaining but after 5 years, frustration is starting to take its toll.  But that’s all I’m going to say about that in this post.  Maybe I’ll have the energy to post about my complicated living situation later.

Anyway, I got the green light from The Mister after much begging about wanting to do my projects.  I figured if I call them “projects” instead of saying re-decorating, it’ll be easier on his ears.  So, since my kiddos don’t have a room of their very own (remember, it’s complicated) I told The Mister that I wanted to make them a play area in the living room but in order to do that the pool table needed to be exited to an area not in this household.  And guess what?!?  The pool table is finally gone!  I am so stoked beyond words.  I mean, this pool table was huge and took up half the living room.  Not only did it not look right, it was also a hazard {in my eyes} and it wasn’t being used.  I have 2 little radicals and I could just see them jumping off of it and breaking a leg.  Or, the one time when The Mister forgot to put the balls away and Little Man #1 thought they were meant for throwing.  Not a good idea and I could just picture him throwing a pool ball at Little Man #2’s head.

 

So, with this pool table being gone it was time to do a little re-arranging.  I had to wait a couple of days for this one because we have this big dresser thing that I couldn’t move.  I normally can manage to move furniture by myself but this darn thing would not budge!  The Mister finally had a day off this past Friday and after four tries {of moving it}, a pulled back muscle, and some good hearty laughs, it was finally moved.

I wanted to take before and after pictures but my camera crapped out on me {sigh}….ahh, it’s bittersweet.  The Mister said I can have the camera I oh so want for my birthday in October which means I have to go a month and couple weeks of no picture taking {another sigh}.

I finally got to go home this past weekend and although it was great to see my family, I was on a mission to find furniture and décor for the play area.  Mission sort of accomplished.  All I have left to get is the activity table for the kiddos and we’re set.

We had to stay an extra day for Little Man #1’s dentist appointment.  Yes, I have to drive 2.5 hours to his dentist but now I’m getting smart and booking them around the weekend.  Anyway, I was dreading this appointment because brushing a 3 year old’s teeth is not fun when he’s not in the mood.  I thought I was for sure going to get scolding from the dentist but all went well.  Little Man #1 actually surprised me when he willingly sat up in that chair like a big boy.  No screaming or crying.  And, he is now a member of the “A’ole {Hawaiian for no} Cavity Club”.  I was so proud but mad because I couldn’t take a darn picture!  I did get a picture on my phone so if I could just figure out how to upload it.

Now that I’ve blogged your eyeballs off, I’m going to get my rear in gear and finish the play area.

Happy Tuesday!
