Happy Monday! This weekend had the hubs painting like a mad man. For some reason I've only painted two rooms in our home (and now, every room has been painted once...one room has been painted twice!) Funny, how all of our paint projects have coordinated with pregnancies! I like to paint. I don't mind doing that painstaking trim work, but I can't really help now. The most I did was sit on the sill of the open window for a few minutes breathing in the fresh air and keeping my dear husband company.
We painted the playroom a sunny yellow color (It was an ugly army green color from the previous owners) and I bought some new accessories for the room. It is so bright and cheerful now! I still have some work to do -- hanging said accessories, but it is coming together.
I am itching to get this house on the market. I wanted to get it on sooner rather than later so we could take advantage of the tax credit, but it looks like we won't be ready to go until May. What will be, will be.
In other news, I decided to try my hand at growing some flowers from seed. If it works, instead of spending $100+ on flats of flowers at the end of this spring, it will have only cost me $20.50! I'm excited about that. I hope I get some beautiful blooms to plant. It's only been two days but I keep peeking at my little brown peat pellets expecting to see little green shoots poking through...it feels like Christmas Morning...only warmer!
Finally, my blog is under construction. I found a cute background...but it still needs some tweaking, time and lack of html knowledge (and other computer thing a ma jiggies) are forcing me to leave it as is for now. Which, in my humble opinion, is better than it was. Everything is a process.
I didn't mind the rain this morning. On the way to take Jordan to school, everything smelled so fresh. And the birds are still singing. So I'm happy.
We are out of toilet paper, that means a trip to the grocery store is inevitable today...so what am I doing blogging!?! :) Off to make a list. Have a wonderful week every one!
