About Me

I have a post brewing about the boys in my head, but I've not been able to sit down and write it. I did however notice something as I was going through some stuff that I'm probably going to post on craigslist.

So, here's a little about me.

1. I NEVER fold the fitted sheet to any sheet set. I never can figure out how to do it properly so I just wad it up nicely, if that's possible. My mom does the same thing. My grandma is always appalled.

2. I hardily ever make our bed. I love a made bed and I always feel better when it's done, but in all truthfulness, the master bedroom is the most neglected room in our house. I just seem to never make it that far when I clean.

3. I'm pretty indecisive. I always have been. I remember standing in the toy isle as a kid with two items I wanted. I could only have one and the decision was causing me big time stress. I remember asking my mom to tell me which one she liked best and when she said it was up to me I about died. I don't remember what I chose, but I do remember how I felt. I still do that, I've been putting off painting because I just can't decide what color. How do you guys decide so quickly?

4. I hate trying to figure out what to cook for lunch/dinner etc. I usually put it off until the last minuet. When I talk to my grandma she always asks what I'm making for dinner. I usually respond that I have no idea, most times it about 2 hours or so before we will be eating.

5. My car is absolutely filthy. I used to be so GROSSED out when I would get into someones car before I had kids and it was trashed. I could never understand how they let it get that way. I now know. I don't like it that way, with goldfish, french fries and empty juice boxes on the floor, but when your driving down the road and your kids are being quiet while eating one of the above you'll take it and deal with the consequences later. I would show you a picture but we are planning to sell my SUV and get another so I did clean it out, but it still has a smell.

So, there are a few things about me. Some of the things bother me more than others, but they are things that I am a repeat offender about. If you come to my house and I know you are coming and you aren't someone who has seen it trashed then you would never know, because my bed would be made and the floors sparkly. I just wouldn't invite you into my linen closet or car.

What little things do you do or not do?

I Was Gonna

So, I was gonna post tonight, but Karter has been up out of bed 9,623 times since I put him in there an hour ago. That included 15 mins on the couch and twice for Jimmy and I to lay down with him. So this is what you get tonight maybe tomorrow.

Finding Happiness

I will admit that my happiness went missing for a month or so recently. A lot of things were going on. I blogged about most of those and I was just unable to search for it in the mist of everything that was going on and trying to do my day to day stuff. Now as I work to settle back into a low stress mode after being in high stress for months, I think I've found happiness again.

Here it is.

This color on this chair soothes me it takes me to the Caribbean, with the calming blue waters. I can almost hear the ocean lap on the shore. I've been to the Caribbean several times pre-children and it's always a relaxing place for me. It's my happy place the place I retreat to in my mind when I need a few moments.

I know it sounds silly that this chair could make me feel happy, but it does. I painted it yesterday and from the first layer of paint I was in love. Now I'm looking for other things to paint this color.

The color is Blue Ocean Breeze by Krylon.

Now before anyone thinks. Paint, paint brings her happiness!! Not her children or family or friends? Well, of course all those things bring me happiness but unfortunately they have the ability to make me feel unhappy too. Paint, what's it ever done to anybody?

Krylon Blue Ocean Breeze paint I HEART you!

Sad News
