No flooding in our area is a nice thing considering our extreme weather.

Another Construction Project

I feel kind of like I do nothing - when I keep showing the projects MM is doing lol. Anyway, our paint the living room project was delayed by the new closet/pantry and now cleaning up the bulletin board area of the kitchen. It was really hard to find a picture of this bulletin board because it always looked so bad that I was careful not to get it in any pictures. The before phone wall.

Maintenance Man built a custom cupboard to house the phone, calendar and other related items. After - of course we are still waiting for warmer weather to do the staining.


Is he handy or what? I just love the work he does. He has such an eye for detail and thinks of things along the way that we'll need. There is a funny story to go along with this though. Yesterday as he was finishing up mounting the phone in the new space there was a knock on the door. He opened the door to a County Sheriff wanting to know who called 911. He says "no one". The officer says "well, someone called 911 TWICE". The light goes on in MM's head and he says "oh, come on in and I'll show you what must have happened". So he must have dialed 911 and ??? maybe hit redial. Don't know about your husbands, but mine doesn't answer the phone during the day either. So when 911 was calling back to see what the problem was he didn't answer!! Anyway, everything worked out fine. Just have to remember that he is great with home projects even if he isn't with the phone lol.

Next project... putting a shelf around the top of the dining room.

Planning

So this past weekend I finally made it to the Franklin Planner store in Novi. I got the monthly pages that I needed to begin in July (come summer I am way to busy). I decided to look around to see what other cool stuff they had since I don’t make it to this store often. They had some really interesting pages to chart your progress with your workouts – got those, and menu planning pages – those looked interesting – in the basket they went. Oh yeah, I bought some other things that I ‘needed’ as well. What’s so funny is that I need the stuff so much that I can’t even put together a couple of minutes to set it up and use it – the bag is still in my purse. And let me tell you it’s getting pretty heavy. Do you think I can count carrying my purse around as a workout? But I have the stuff to set up if I ever get the time lol. What’s really funny is that I know I am no different that most of my friends. I just have the need to own the stuff. Now that I’ve written this out I am definitely going to do this first thing tomorrow. Yeah, I say that a lot too. Sometimes I listen to myself and do it, sometimes not. I’ll get back to you on that.

Last night as I was leaving my Mom's at about 6:15 the sky was the most beautiful pink color. The sky changed quickly as the sun was setting, but I thought 'WOW that I would come out at that exact moment and see such an awesome site is amazing'. I am shown grace in small things like that all the time. Absolutely beautiful.

Spring time weather in the middle of February. Yeah!!!

What Kind of Kid Were You?

I found this neat quiz over at Michelle's and we're both the same kid. Do you sometimes wonder how accurate these are? On one question it asked what I wanted to be when I grew up? There was no answer "mom", and that's all I ever wanted to be. Just sayin.

You Were a Creative Kid

When you were a kid, you always had to be doing something with your hands. Whether you were painting a picture or just doodling, you had to be creating something. You were too busy thinking about your future creations to listen in school. It's likely that every part of school was a challenge for you, except for art class.

The proud feeling you get when your children get good reviews at work. I always knew I brought up good kids with a strong work ethic, but it's nice when they hear it from their bosses.
