AHHHHHHHHHH! Real Housewives!

  I want to rip my hair out,scream,punch an unlucky person in the face and then maybe follow all that up with a cold shower. I have been prepping and painting for about 1.5-2 weeks now. I am finally making some progress today and am starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. I am down to the little details now like molding. The kids have done really well despite the chaos, that is until .....today.

  We moved our big screen into our bedroom and put it up on the wall so that I didn't have to "paint around" it. So our bedroom has been the designated hangout spot for the kids and their games and movies. For those of you that are cringing when you read that last part it's okay I packed all the breakables away. What I was not expecting was half eaten strawberries all over our nice new clean laundry and sheets. Apparently  while I was painting M was stealing "strawbee's" as she call's them, out of the fridge. To top it off I had just gotten Troy ready for school when he decided he wanted to go outside and jump on the trampoline...which is wet. Oh,and the yard is muddy. Needless to say I had to change him really quick then pick up all the strawberries with M's help of course. Then pull out all the clothes that got murdered and wash them right away. To top of this wonderful morning I was able to start putting the furniture back in place in the living room. While I was pulling the cover off the couch I gazed upon some of Troy's artwork in pen and ink nonetheless. It appears to be impressionistic in style.I see some stairs and a pair of large eyeballs. So,we are waiting for Troy's bus now.When he goes to school I have to pull off the couch cushion covers and wash those then I have to shower and get M and I ready to go pick up Grammy and go to the grocery store,home depot and maybe the mall too. Then back home just in time for the boys to get back from school and to make dinner and then paint again until the wee hours of the morning.

  I am so ready for my little project to be done,I am going nuts.

Belated Updates

 

  It's true I have been somewhat negligent when it has come to updating my blog.Truth be told I have indeed had some extra time to myself lately though I've just wanted to spend it reading. There's not a lot of new things to report. I have been trying to get things together for Troy's SS appointment but have had to reschedule twice now and I am going to have to reschedule again this Monday, I am just not ready.:( I also joined a new Bible Study,we met for the first time last night and I cried in front of everyone while I talked about my children. It was very surreal as I never cry. It's not that I am embarrassed of it, it's just not something I do. I just don't get emotional. So I was a little freaked that I started crying,again very surreal. All in all an awesome group of ladies and looking like a great Bible study. I think we will see a lot of good things come from it!

   The only other thing I can think of is that Gabriel started track this last week. So far he is ok with it but he is having a hard time with separation anxiety. He wants me to follow him around the field while he goes from event to event. Other than that he's making friends and enjoying it all with the exception of the high jump which also happens to be what he's best at,LOL! Silly kid! So other than those things,nothing much new has happened. Just the same ol' routine.
