Fall Break

It's Fall Break in our house, and our "staycation" officially starts tonight. It fittingly rained all day and the colors are changing slowly around here. Annie had school today, so I enjoyed some alone time. I even painted my toenails red, but that was not so easy with my growing middle. I haven't been brave enough to look at them in decent light. I imagine they look pretty bad.

I have a "few" small goals this week- one being to finish the guest room. We've been mid project for several months, but I am ready to have that room back. I am also in that unfortunate stage of pregnancy that requires lots of pillows and readjusting to actually fall asleep. I have resorted to the couch many a night, but my back is paying the price. The sad thing is that I am only 22 weeks.

Another goal I have this week is to actually hang some pictures. I have not hung ONE picture since moving into our house. I actually need frames, and frames cost money, so I have been cheap. I keep thinking we'll make it to IKEA soon and I can go crazy then, but that keeps getting pushed back, and back. If I thought logically about it, I could spend the same amount by buying the same type frames from Target, sans the gas expense of driving to Dallas, but I need an IKEA fix, so I'll probably hold out.

Meanwhile Annie continues to brighten our days. She is such a sweet soul in more ways than one. She's my little artist. My little dancer. And she LOVES butterflies. Guess what SHE is going to be for halloween.

oh yeah, gotta make the costume. one more goal.

Did I mention that I have started tearing down the wall paper in Annie's bathroom? yeah, that is a real blast. But it's going to look SO much better when it's down and painted. One day she'll get new countertops and a new sink- but that will be a while.

boring post. see ya after our break. Hopefully with something to show for it.
