ps, boo boo

Bye the bye, my boo boo is doing good. So far, no sign of infection. Yeah!!! Still not going to wear my shoe, my goal is tomorrow. We will see!!

My bedroom

Well, we got the color on the walls of our bedroom. We painted the top half and the ceiling a beautifully warm yellow. Then we added a chair rail (it matches the door and window frames), painted it, the walls and trim on the bottom white. Today I am going to put the candlelight paint on the yellow parts. The candle light paint is a paint that adds sparkle to the color on the bottom. It doesn't really change the color of the paint, but just adds a texture that makes the room shine when the lights are on low, or if you are burning some candles. The texture resembles frost on a window, the way it reaches and connects. I have not seen it used before, but this is what the paint samples look like. I hope it works, it is $50 a gallon!!! We get our bed on Sunday, and then the room will be beautiful. I just can not wait to go to bed on Sunday night. I was going to get a new comforter, but I am a bit concerned about money. If I can find what I am looking for that is under $50, I may get it. I am sure I can find it at Walmart. God bless Walmart!! I am thinking something with reds and greens. I want the decor to be something that reminds me of being at Long Beach, or Florence. I love the feeling being in an old hotel at the beach gives me, and that is what I want our bedroom to feel like. I have bid on some really old sepia postcards from Heceta Head Lighthouse, and I am sure I will win. I also already have one from the Sea lion caves, it is old as well, from the 1940's. I plan on putting them in some big chunky black frames. I think the red that I find in a comforter and the black in the frames I place around the room will help me bring the lighthouse theme in. I don't want just any lighthouses, I want a very specific old look. I will know it when I see it. I just hope it will all look the way I want it to. I will post pictures when the bed is in, perhaps with a new comforter!!!

Boo boo update

I managed to keep my toe safe at work. I never found the "shoe" I was looking for, but I found some sandals that worked. Plus it was black so it matched my shirt!! I felt like a douche walking around with a tennis shoe on one foot and a sandal on the other, but at least I went to work!!!

My boo boo

So, if you don't know, I am accident pron. I especially am good at hurting my feet. This week has been a doosy... it started when I caught my baby toe on the baby gate and took a good chunk out of it. Whatever, I dealt with that one. Then on Sunday I found a sewing pin, with my middle toe. Again, not all that bad, the bleeding stopped eventually. Yesterday was the straw that broke my foot. I went to turn the heater on (by the way, it is September and I should not have to do that) and turned around and took a step. I was not watching where I was going and kicked the underside of the kids table that was upside down (Bella uses it as a dance floor). I had never noticed the massive razors installed, well ok, there were not really any razors, but it felt like it. I did some major damage to my big toe. I should have gone to the doctor for some stitches, but that would have been too much work. The pain is unmeasurable. I am having a hard time walking, and keep kicking things with it!! I will not be able to wear a shoe at work tonight, and there is a strict shoe requirement at THD. I called Kevin, the store manager, and he said that it would be ok if I got one of those shoes you wear over a cast. I think he is just glad I am coming to work still. I just hope they come in pink!!! When John saw it, he yelled at me for not going to the doctor. I have never cut myself bad enough, I have never needed stitches, so how was I to know?!?! Any who, it is too late, and it really does feel better than it did yesterday, except when I kick it. I will be making a trip to the local drug store and getting some padding for it, because I will NOT be hitting it on something at work tonight. It is the kind of pain that makes you want to throw up, and bad words come spewing from the head.

What to say today

I am in a bad mood. I am a little frustrated with work right now, and have some things to deal with. I only hope they go my way.

All I can think about right now is all the things I have to do... paint the trim for my bedroom, paint my room, get some more things made for the garage sale I have mentally set up for the weekend of the 21st, make the Halloween decorations for the yard, bug bomb the house. I am sure there is more, but these are the only ones coming to mind right now.

I should just go to bed... tomorrow is going to come quickly. Good night y'all.

Guess what!!

So John and I have been sleeping on a mattress on the floor for a year now. My old body can NOT handle it any more. We went out yesterday and purchased a mattress for us and one for when Bella is old enough. We also got a new recliner. I am super stoked, but we have to wait 10 days for our stuff to come in. Poop. My gosh, I can not even picture what a good nights sleep will feel like. I am sooooo excited. We got a good one too, cost a ton of money. We had to get the split box springs because we could not fit a normal one up the stairs (the reason we were sleeping on the floor in the first place). Do you know how freaking expensive a split queen size box spring cost!?!? 300.00 freaking dollars!!! Highway robbery I tell you.

The chair was a last minute thing, but John has always wanted a nice recliner, and now he has one. This one chair cost more than our couch and love seat together. Merry Christmas John!!! God bless 0% financing!!!

So for Christmas I am going to redo Bella's bedroom, make it all pretty. I was debating getting her a new bed or just using Spencer's toddler bed. When this opportunity came up, we had to get her a new bed. We only got her a mattress, because I am going to make her headboard myself. We also passed on the box spring for her, because this way she is closer to the floor if she falls out, plus the sales person said we did not need one with the mattress we got. Her bed was only $150.00, crazy talk. I will have to visit the Goodwill for the parts for her frame, or Craig's list. Now I just have to find the perfect green comforter for her bed, so I can add patchwork to it.

First day of First Grade

So yesterday we went to Spencer's school for orientation. He got to meet his teacher Mrs. Wilson-Hoss, she seems nice. I was glad that his classroom was close to the door, that way he can find it by himself tomorrow when I just drop him off. While we were there we got information on Boy Scouts, got him a Bordeaux Bulldog teeshirt and prepaid for some hot lunches. It was fun. Last year we were in the moving process and could not really enjoy this knowing we were only going to be there for a month or so. Today John stayed home in the morning so we could all take him to school. He looked so handsome, I was very proud. Best dressed kid in Shelton, without a doubt!!!!

First day pictures. Too cute for words.

Yes, we followed him inside the school. I had to make sure my baby made it in OK. I have yet to hear from the school, so I am sure he is doing fine. I am going to get ready for work now, so I can meet him at the front door when he gets out.
