Yeah, I’m late and behind this week, but we are still here, still kickin’. J. has been traveling this week so besides missing him, we decided to tackle a few projects that have been driving me a little crazy. I have that spring cleaning bug again and around here one thing leads to another.<\/p>\n

I finished up Em’s room last week, finally hanging stuff on her wall, fitting her new desk in, painting a new desk chair and it looks so good in her room. And then I walked into Addie’s room and that bookshelf that I have hated since we moved in was calling me, taunting me. And we hadn’t painted that wall when we did the big repaint a month<\/a> or so ago – I’m not sure why, but the people before had left the wall white, so we did too.<\/p>\n

So I get the brilliant idea that the bookshelf needs to be painted white. But as soon as the bookshelf is white, the wall looks very dingy. So I get the doubly brilliant idea that I’m going to not only paint the wall, but I’ll paint each shelf a different color. But, as soon as the bookshelf and walls are painted, the doors look dirty and dingy. So, yep…they get some new paint, too.<\/p>\n

And now, every other room I walk into, I see something that needs some attention. Please someone plan an intervention for me. Come pry the paintbrush from my cramped hand.<\/p>\n

But for now, Addie’s room is satisfactory…<\/p>\n

I didn’t take any before pics, but trust me…it looks WAY better. And Addie sat down on her bed when I was organizing all the stuff on the shelves and she just sighed and said, “Oh Mama, my room looks so pretty, doesn’t it? I love it!” That made the three days of sore painting arms totally worth it all.<\/p>\n

And to add to my achievements for the week – I finally hung the photos that have been sitting in our dining room for two, three months,<\/span> awhile now. I think I’ve been putting it off for so long because I didn’t want to commit, I wasn’t quite sure how to do the photos going up the stairway.<\/p>\n

So I put paper up and mapped them out before I pounded a bunch of nails into the wall…<\/p>\n

…and what do you know? It worked! I’m thrilled to have this project crossed off my list once and for all.<\/p>\n

So, that has pretty much been our week around here, besides – you know – the normal dose of chaos.<\/p>\n

On the docket for the weekend we have a trip to the beach bright and early tomorrow morning. Our Daisy troop is doing a beach clean-up. And on Sunday, our little Miss Addie is starring in a movie for an online project for Disney. Oh, you better believe there will be updates on both of those coming soon.<\/p>\n

Hope your weekend is restful and fun!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
