what i did today

I love how she has her leg. And the purse that’s almost as big as her Six going on sixteen.

I love her glasses on her head and her hand is up like “Wow”. She was being dramatic with Emma looking at the Thomas toys.

Tonight I cleaned out some kitchen cabinets and found an old paci of Lexi’s. She used to love that thing. She did her “crying baby” pose for the picture.

And these are my cabinets after I reorganized. No idea what I’ll put there in the place of…

…all the medicine I bought boxes for and put in the bathroom.

After being inspired by this post, I’ve been wanting to paint our back door. Today after leaving Jake and Jill’s where they were working on the baby’s nursery, I was inspired to finally do it. I still need to get the numbers but so far I love it. Even used the same paint she recommended and it really is great.

I’m half tempted to paint the inside of the door black too. Yay or nay? *Update* I just found this post where she did the inside black and I’m SO going to do it tomorrow.  Love it!

Post 40 days this evening. Twitter and Fox News.

School drop-off is on me today. I’m not much of a morning person but when you walk out and see this it makes it all a little easier.

Have a great Thursday! Today is day 40 of my fast!

The ever-present laundry piles. This time all clean. Just the girls’. Thankfully now in drawers.

Today feels like one of the longest days I’ve had in a long time.  Nothing dramatic or shocking happened.  It was just a long. day.  The girls and I spent the night at Mom’s house last night so we wouldn’t have to get up extra early for the yard sale and the kids would be able to sleep if they so chose, which they did not so choose.  Anyway, we woke up, opened the garage door and saw that it was pouring rain.  A little panic set in but my immediate reaction was…let’s go to Starbucks.  So Emma went with me and we picked up some breakfast.  By the time I got back the rain was letting up, we started setting up and the yard sale was off!  A full 7 hours and many rain showers later, we pushed everything back into the garage and decided to do it again next weekend.  Not because it didn’t go well, because it did.  It’s just we had that much stuff.

This afternoon we ran up to Babies R Us to help Jake and Jill register for stuff for THEIR BABY.  I don’t think I’ve mentioned on here yet that they’re adopting and expecting on Christmas Eve!!  As to be expected with any expecting parent, they were a bit lost in a sea of baby products.  I went to give them a helping hand, but they were doing just fine…just like I know they will soon too.

When I got home I was just exhausted.  Scott was already back at work and I sat down with the girls on the couch.  No TV, no music, no books, no toys.  Just sat there.  Of course Emma says, This is boring!  We couldn’t agree on what to do for dinner.  Normally I just tell them but I didn’t even have the energy to decide on that.  Somehow we all agreed on Steak ‘n Shake.  I guess the promise of milkshakes will make anyone agree.

That seemed to pump some energy in us and we spent the evening straightening up, painting, reading and just hanging out at home.  Once the kids were in bed this evening, I finished up some laundry and then ran myself a bath.  You know it’s bad if I take a bath.

So yeah, the clock has just struck Sunday and I signed up for a 15 minute prayer session for our campaign at church tomorrow at midnight…so Saturday will be gone for me in 15 minutes and a mighty long one it was.
