Seven Things....

I've been tagged by Donnie.

1. I have no patience and see none in my future. I've chosen not to pray about it, because God will just give me more things to work on my patience with!!

2. I have a little OCD with cleaning. I love to vacuum and have a clean house. My closets on the other hand are never clean and orderly. SO don't look!!!!

3. I am not a morning person and I don't want to even talk before 11:00.

4. I have the best job in the world. And I love to work.

5. I can NOT decorate (on first try) it takes several $$ and looks before I can finally get something to look right.

6. I am frugal but think nothing about spending $350 for my best friend and I to get facials and massages:) :) Hey, it's x-mas and birthdays rolled together plus were worth it!!

7. I am blessed beyond measure.

Thanksgiving week

I decided a week before Thanksgiving to have Cary paint the living room, hall and dining room. I don't know who had the harder job. Cary painting or me having to pick out the color. I went through several sample cans at $4.99 ea. But at least I got the colors that I absolutely LOVE!!!

Before (with paint samples on wall):

After:

We had 3 different Thanksgiving lunch/dinners at our house.

Lollar/Hailey family:




Campbell/Boles family:

Things I need to blog about.......

1.) My painting fiasco. -- After painting the entire living room and deciding I didn't like it and purchasing 8 sample paints to try, I finally found a winner.

2.) Madison turning 11 and her sleepover-- if for no other reason than to remind me not to this again.

3.) My work schedule the week of Madison's sleepover.-- Getting no sleep the week of Madison's sleepover + 8 girls + working on Saturday= Not happy Mom!!

4.) The funny things Grant says. -- Last night as Cary was painting he asked me if our feet were the only feet that had been in our house. Meaning did anyone ever live in our house before us. I assured him our feet were the only ones that ever owned our house!! Then at 8:30 he announced that it was thirty eight o'clock!! Oh, and he calls the Dining room the diamond room??

5.) Preparing for job interviews.-- Total stress.

6.) Preparing to host 3 Thanksgiving dinners at my house next Thurs and Fri.

7.) Finding out at Grant's eye doctors appointment that his eyes are greatly improving and that he will eventually be out of glasses.-- His eyes have changed so much over the last year that his glasses were too strong causing him not to be able to see distance. This could explain the many papers sent home saying all he had to do was copy it from the board and he didn't. Maybe he couldn't see the board!!
