Dear The Internet,

This morning my husband told me "'I need to find some stuff to make some scaffolding.'" (for to paint the stairwell)

Some stuff. Uh huh.

So he's currently perched between a ladder and a step stool on a hollow 12 inch wide closet door. I'd call him retarded, but apparently it's doing the job. If he falls and wakes the kids ( Read more... )

...apparently it's been a while since I've updated. I think the saddest thing is that nothing has happened. Oh well.

Ben is 6 months old now, though! He can sit up unassisted and can (finally) entertain himself for a while.

Spring Cleaning Goals!

Well, I got the hallway painted. That only leaves a bazillion other things to do. But hubby is working on the basement which is a big help. I figure if I just pick away at things, maybe someday Martha Stewart will be proud of me. My main problem is the 8,000 projects I've got going on at once: knitted sweater for Ben, trimmed pillowcases, art ( Read more... )

...and why is it that I realize too late that a bag of Hershey's Hugs and a Starbucks coffee drink doesn't count as breakfast ( Read more... )

I think anyway. Yesterday was so nice. And I was inside working. I had the ass.
