…its really not a "break" at all!
But I (well, WE) got a TON done this week. Including:
- a butt-load of yard work. But mainly digging up all of our bushes (that were ALL dead – every! single! one!) and replacing them with new ones (that are actually alive!) and finishing up our landscaping, mulching, planting grass, etc.
- Scrapping wallpaper off the powder room walls. That I have been wanting to do since we moved in almost 4 years ago. Now I'm halfway done painting it this adorable rust-color called "apple blossom." (My husband hates it, but I think its great. Naturally. We rarely agree on paint.) I'll post a picture when I finish!
- Cleaning, cleaning, cleaning, cleaning. Washing windows, cleaning out the fridge, sorting clothes, etc.
- Putting in my volunteer time at the kids schools.
That's only part of it. My back is killingme and we have been falling asleep by 9 o'clock, but at least the yard and house look great!!
But – by the grace of God – Colin started sleeping ELEVEN HOURS STRAIGHT this weekend. Its heaven.
About Melissa
You did have a busy time off. I love when you work so hard during the day that you simply collapse. It can be a wonderful feeling!
yay! and it’s raining today so that’s good for all your planting! that’s the bright side of this ugly ugly weather today. i’ll be happy for you in this rain!
Hi there! I don’t know how old your Colin is…maybe I missed that somewhere? BUT…Congratulations regardless!!!!! As I have said before about my little guy’s Eczema…he itched for the first three years of his life…leaving both he and I (he just wants me in the middle of the night – lucky mom) completely tired and cranky! Yes, for THREE years….did I say THREE YEARS? Anyway- it can be so horrible when you are not rested. The weight of the world seems to rest on your shoulders that much more, you know? Finally, since being healed (thank you God!)….we sleep. All night. Nice. Glad you too are catching your ZZZZ’s, it makes a world of difference! You go girl!
