We have been pretty much non stop around here working on changing the house for 2012. This weekend alone we yanked the carpet up going down the stairs, and tore the carpet out of the closet in our bedroom and painted the floor in there white. We also yanked the microwave out since it wasnt working anyways and refurbished an old oven hood to match. Now I have to paint the wall where the microwave covered ( we got a cheap 44.00 one for the counter at walmart) and we are going to add a small shelf above my stovetop. The carpet in the livingroom is the next thing to come up, we will fix the cracks in the concrete and for now, just paint the concrete. Hopefully in the next year we will be able to get the wood to do a stained plywood flooring throughout the house, but for now, painted concrete will have to do. I just vacuumed a minute ago and in the livingroom alone pulled up a whole canister of hair and dust and dirt and probably a million dust mites. It is absurd! I have to make an appointment for Brian to see the allergist speaking of dust mites. Anyhow it is raining, again, and I am sick of it. I have looked and unless we get some freak snow or ice storm we are officially already over the coldest temps of the season and spring will be here before we know it. Which is bizarre since I slept with a fan on in my bedroom last night and it is January 9th!
I am tired today, not really feeling like doing much...my back hurts, my legs hurt, my eyes are itchy, and my throat kinda hurts again (I am sure the fan I mentioned above blowing in my face all night has something to do with that last part) My whole house is covered in a super fine dust from Brian sanding the stairs to get them smoother yesterday. I have a pile of dishes from neglecting them all weekend, and I have laundry to do...so doing nothing is not exactly an option for me today....but I surely don't feel like doing anything. If only this crappy wet rainy weather would let up and give me a few days of sun that would help. Thank God I went and got more hay last week though, omg, with all this rain I would have one hell of a mess on my hands with the mud and dogs by now!
It is the week of Friday the 13th...I think Friday night we will have a movie marathon (and by we, I mean me and Brian since the kids will get bored half way through movie number one and run off to play). Other than an absurd amount of home renovations, there hasn't been a whole lot else going on. I am not joining the gym because it is almost 50.00 a month and really not that nice of a place to go anyhow. I will save and buy myself another exercise bike, and continue to do the stuff I am already doing and see what happens. I am so sick of stressing my weight that I am just not going to anymore. I will be healthier, eat and drink better, and if I lose weight, great, if not, well, screw it!
We have decided that it is also not feasible to go to Daytona in March. It is just not. So we may take a small trip to the mountains for the weekend instead that week, and then for Laci's bday I am just going to take her and a friend (likely Bella) out to horseback ride for the day somewhere and have a small get together here at the house. I know I know, I am getting off on some wild ramble about the next few months and it is only January 9th, but that is what I do! If I didn't I just wouldn't be me! I guess for now I will just focus on this week...which is funny, because I have more knowledge of the next 3 months of activities than I do for just the next 7 days....LOL! I am gonna go slurp down my last cup of coffee for the morning and try to accomplish something more than just vacuuming the livingroom!
Hope you all have a happy Monday! XOXO
