I framed the thermostat.
I KNOW it's ridiculous.
I KNOW there are so many other things I could/should be doing with my time.
I KNOW I wasted 6 perfectly good dollars and a perfectly good frame from Home Goods.
I KNOW I have about 70 frames throughout the house that are missing photos in them.
BUT... I like it.
In fact, it's a freaking masterpiece.
☺
So, I have a confession... I HATE my kids' backpacks. Not the actual backpacks, but just the fact that they are constantly out and I am always tripping over them. ALWAYS...
I ask them to pack them up before they go to bed each night and then they sit in a big ugly pile by my front door and I hate the sight of them.
So I finally did it.
I'm sure it looks tacky and I don't care. I've been wanting to do it for years, and I finally did!
Every time I go to the school and see all the backpacks hanging in rows outside the doors, I swear I'm going to do and and never do. Today I did...
better than UPS, USPS and Fed-Ex combined?
Two words: WASTE MANAGEMENT, baby!!!
Tomorrow this piece of loveliness will be sitting in front of my house and I swear, I have goosebumps just thinking about it.
Goodbye broken toys, old kitchenware, garage stuff that will NEVER be used (even though Dan insists it will be), unusable bikes and kiddie pools... all of the stuff that makes me grind my teeth when I see it. ALL GONE!!!
Dan is at Scout Camp with Patrick and you know what they say:
When the cat's away... the mice will do what Daddy mouse has promised to do for 3 months now and hasn't.
Okay, so I revised the saying a little...
I had a decorating breakdown the other day.
I came to the realization that I hated my family room. It was WAY too dark.
I then went into a spray painting trance. I literally turned anything in my front room that was green to white or black.
I added white lampshades everywhere and got rid of my cream ones.
I painted my ugly brown mantle white. It is still ugly, but now it's ugly white.
I sewed a white table cloth and added white pillows to my chair.
I sewed a new navy and white curtain and valance.
I started at one point of the room and am working my way right. I forgot to do before and after shots (remember, I was in a trance), but I did happen to find one photo of before.
New cushions for my chairs:
Long walks on the beach, a glowing fire, a romantic dinner....... WRONG!!!
2 words: Home Repairs.
There's a hottie in my bathroom and with every tile that gets put up, I'm more ready to put out.
