Oh wow, I can't believe it's been almost a month since I've blogged. That is way too long. I've been feeling slightly -no very- exhausted. (Rabbit trail: I'm trying to find the source for this exhaustion...and no, I'm not pregnant) Here is what we've been up to...
- painting. painting. painting.
- I've been painting the girls rooms and it seems to take forever. My wonderful friend, M, helped me for 2 days, and now I just have to do touch ups. I've been working on it for over a week now. Daryl has helped when he could, but he's been working lots.
- As a result of my being consumed with painting, the house has completely fallen apart. There is literally a path in the hall upstairs. Obviously we had to move the girls out of their rooms, so all their stuff is in the hall. I will be so glad when we're done.
- Like I said, Daryl has been working lots. This is probably partly what makes me feel exhausted! I get really tired of not having dinner together and putting kids to bed by myself. This is probably the most he's worked since we moved here, so I should not complain! Next week will be better.
- Olivia has a huge boil on her knee right now. Okay, I know that's gross. It expelled itself during gym class today and, wow! I have to admit I'm glad I wasn't there. It's bad. I mean bad. Thankfully her personal pediatrician is not concerned and reminded me that he used to get them when he was a kid. *Shudder* (I know right now his sisters are thinking of a certain beautiful photo they have of him w/ a boil!) :-)
- I've been thoroughly enjoying the cooking magazines I get from the library. [I keep wishing my sisters lived close by and we would have a gourmet night once a month (or hey, maybe even once a week) and see if we could out-cook each other. Just a dream.] Right now we're really into arugula and kale...Mmmm.
- There are little green shoots coming up in my flower beds. YAY!!! Once again, I'm going to pretend I'm a gardener and hopefully add another layer of knowledge to the very-tiny-green-thumb part of my brain! I'm hoping for a very small vegetable garden this year...

Hi Robin! Nice to have you back! :) I just wanted to let you know that I am in the throes of painting right now too and I'm about ready to pull my hair out! The rest of my house has been sorely neglected and I'm so tired of the upheaval everywhere. But the end is in sight. . .we're hoping to get it finished this weekend. You have my sincere empathy!
Painting is one of those jobs that doesn't seem like it should be such a big job, but it is. Post pictures when you get a free moment.
YAY! Fun to read another post!
Why no picture of the boil? lol.
I was eating my lunch while reading that....yucky.
Adrienne's party looks lovely...and gorgeous hair she has!
Look forward to seeing pics of those painted rooms once they are back together.
Hugs.

That is QUITE the birthday spread! She's so crazy cute! they all are. The boil sounds, um... lovely... Hey, you SHOULD come sit on my couch - you were going to send an e-mail about your trip - haha, I'm assuming you're not coming since that was happening in February, right? = P Good to have you back in blog world again. Hopefully things are picking up again after the last little drought.
