5 Things to Get Out of Bed For

Taking the lead from Christina & Shades of Gray...

  1. the first cup of Tim Horton's coffee in the morning
  2. the hug I get from Liam when he gets into bed with us
  3. 2:45 nap time - enough time for a smoke before a Liam-Free General Hospital
  4. 2 happy cats who care enough about me to bug the shit out of me (as in not leaving me the hell alone!)
  5. watching my plants grow! As opposed to watching my plants die as that is what usually happens
Anyone else?

My Dad

My dad is funny in the way that he clips out articles for me & sends them along...

the latest one I got was about warming up your car on cold mornings & more exactly why you do NOT have to do it anymore. The reason he sent this one along was so that I could alert my neighbors about it so that they might stop doing it for an hour starting at 6am & waking our entire household up. Well, to be clearer, waking them & Liam up since we are in the back of the house, we dont hear shit :)

Think I should make copies & tape it to the mailbox?

Watch it, I'm on a roll

Only 9 months later & I just unpacked the four boxes that got putstuffed into our bedroom closet.

That leaves only ONE box to unpack. And for some reason that's been sitting in the dining room & I think it's my snow globes.

At least I know where I'm going to put them, which honestly has been a huge part of the not unpacking them issue...cause why unpack them if I have no clue where I'm going to put them?

Did that convince you? cause it sure as hell worked for me.

Good thing we are staying here another year.

In other boring home news, I bought some new baskets (5 set for $11.99 at AC Moore) for Liam's "things"...new book basket, new basket for his farm blocks, new basket for his dirty bibs, new basket for his little things lying around & new basket for his toys that live in front of the fireplace...starting to feel organized about keeping that stuff under control too.

But, I really like that our bedroom is feeling more "homey" even though it's only been a couple of hours, I liked the vibe I got when I just walked in a few minutes ago...cozy, warm, welcoming...

And I also added my purse lamp to our guest bathroom/Liam's bathroom & Matias went in there (he hates that lamp) and I could hear the TSK from the other room. Oh well, I think it's really cute & it adds a little something to that bathroom that is just so boring and dull. But I'm to blame for that since I have not done anything to it at all beyond get the brown towels I wanted.

I added a few things to the guest room too...and I have further plans for that also with stuff from around the house...and I honestly, just now, got another AWESOME idea for that room! YAY!

I'm finally going to put my snowmen away - even though we still have some snow on the ground, I'm getting a little tired of looking at 'em ;) Plus, I have my Easter stuff to pull out - for Liam's sake, of course!

And lord, speaking of Easter stuff - even after my horrible Valentine's Day Card debacle, I could NOT resist the $1 bin of stamps at the craft store. So, I bought two for St. Patrick's Day & I am still brainstorming through ideas for them, although it's basically a done deal since the stamps are making it so easy to create an easy layout. RIGHT. Plus, I have green ink I need to use. RIGHT?
