Yes, the title is a little dramatic. But true none the less. I have just been on edge the last couple of weeks for several reasons---no sunshine, boys needing sunshine, jewelry sales down the crapper since Christmas, a storage room I haven't found the "uummph" to fill with all my craft stuff so Chad can finish a bedroom for the boys, my basement being a MESS, changes in a day of the week for me, baby??when???. Yes, we have all the important things, Chad has a job he enjoys, we are healthy, we have a mortgage we can definately afford (compared to the dipshits out there we will be bailing out), etc. etc. But when the little things build up it makes for one uptight Momma (enough that a couple of tears were shed at the mall yesterday--thanks for listening Mom).
Anyway, my new kitchen table was delivered at 5:00 last night,,,,,,and ALL IS RIGHT WITH THE WORLD. It's silly, but I can forget everything else and focus on the redecorating I am doing in the kitchen and living room. I LOVE to redecorate, sometimes just rearranging existing furniture and buying a few new pillows, a throw, and a couple of candles or picture frames can keep me occupied for a good 2 weeks. I love my little house, and it's nice that it's little, because small changes can make a big difference. Today we are heading to buy a shelf and pick up the new love seat. Then I will head to Roberts to find a wreath. The anticipation is almost equal to Christmas morning. The perfect diversion for a mom who hasn't been as nice to her boys as she should be. SORRY MY LOVES!!!
Before and After pictures to be posted soon.
I am glad you get as excited as me with the decorating thing - Even shopping for clothes gets me excited too - we always are needing pick me ups!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see it all put together!
ReplyDeleteNew furniture for you...U2 albums for me. Balm for life. So you make and sell jewelry too! Sweet, I like you even more now. My jewelry sales are in the crapper too, but I don't really care. I am used to it.
