Yesterday my mom visited, and watched the boys for me. I got some projects done around the house. I got the first coat of paint on the dining room walls under the chair rail, and part of the upstairs hallway painted too. Both of the projects are looking good, but I’m so sore today from all of that painting.

Today I decided to paint my decorative chair on the front porch blue. It was a pretty wine color during the fall and winter, but I thought that robin’s egg blue would be pretty for spring and summer.

Thade and I brought in the chair, and got it all prepped for painting. Then everyone wanted to get involved in the project. Thade wanted to paint, but I wasn’t quite brave enough to let him, so he dusted the living room. The 2 kitties kept running back and forth near the open paint can. I swear I never see the cats until I’m painting. Everything went pretty well though, and I’m going to get the second coat on soon. I’ll post some pics as soon as the paint dries.

Today the contractor is back to work on our foundation. I’m a little nervous, this is a pretty big project. I know that everything will go well, I just hope this old house holds up.

Today it was in the 70s, it was so nice outside. I happily turned off the heater, and turned on the attic fan to keep the house nice and cool. I’m so ready to do away with the expensive gas bill.

Thade and I cleaned out my car, well I cleaned and Thade watched. James and Thade got out for a walk around the block this evening. Thade was thrilled, and really enjoyed walking around the neighborhood.

Tomorrow the weather is supposed to be even better, so we’ll see if we get anything done outside. We might make the Walgreen’s run, and stock up on some more supplies.

Today I can not get going. I slept in late, got breakfast for the boys at 10:00 a.m., I just can’t get going. I got a little bit of a start on my dishes last night, so I don’t have too many to do today. I also already have dinner planned, so it is going to be pretty easy, but I’m just so tired.

Thade wasn’t feeling too good yesterday, and Nana was here to help me around the house. She even stocked the pantry with much needed snack cakes, I just love it when she comes to visit. We worked on arranging Thade’s room, we put in a new t.v. stand, and it looks great.

I guess I’m going to jump in the shower, and hope that it wakes me up. I have got to get awake and going.
