Jumbled...

oh my, my pocket book

Can't seem to make up my mind.

Remember this post?

I think I am over them.
That was quick, huh?

I think the new look of the nook is going to involve a bit of the following:

(via)

That'll do - just enough to tide you over.

I decided what I had up just didn't match the rest of the downstairs of the house. If I am going to get cute and playful - it might as well be upstairs in the loft and in the kids' rooms.

So, as soon as I feel 100% again, I will get to work on the nook re-do.

I was able to get out and about this afternoon (it's hurts more to sit, then to walk around) - and wouldn't you know, the first place I hit was the Hobster.
And then Ross.

Look at what I scored:

#1 - Ross - Shelf - $9.99 - Not sure what I am going to do with it yet.

#2 - Hobby Lobby - $7.99 (was 50% off) - Got two of them (slightly different style). Not sure where they are going yet.

#3 and #4 - Ross - $5.99 (bought 4 total, two of each design). They are GOLD and kinda ugly. But I bought some oiled rubbed bronze spray paint at Home Depot - so I have plans! - They are going in my downstairs guest bath.

#5 - Hobby Lobby - $12.99 (was $24.99 - got it for 50% off). It's going above my window treatments on my slider. You will be able to see it when you walk into the house.

#6 - Ross - $16.99 - Going in the downstairs guest bath. Love it.

And below, I got two of them, slightly different - but they are going in my living room. Both $16.99 at Ross.

/sigh. I live retail therapy. I love places like Ross and Hobby Lobby that totally leave some extra cash in my pocket. One of the items I scored had a few issues with it, and I asked the HL manager to mark it down another 10%, so I got it for 60% off. I love it when that happens.

Can't wait to take some after pictures... Just as soon as my numero uno stud muffin gets around to hanging stuff for me.

I wouldn't want to over-do it, would I? =)

nic's first t-ball practice

Nic had his first T-Ball practice this past Wednesday.
It was an adventure. =)

It was weird... Nic was really the only kid who went after the ball. No matter where the ball ended up, Nic went running after it - from 3rd base. It was super cute.

There were times when Nic was more interested in the rocks on the outskirts of the field then with actually playing ball - but I kinda expected that. Also, there was one play where Nic was running from 1st to 2nd - and instead of sliding in - HE SERIOUSLY did a SOMERSAULT into 2nd base. It happened sooo fast, I couldn't get a picture of it. He had all of the parents laughing so hard.

Next practice is Wednesday - and then they have a game on Saturday. Can't wait! ;)

Isabel starts practice on Monday - and has it 3x a week. Alex's first game at the H.S. is Thursday - and he's been practicing 6x a week.

I am still in bed due to my back. I went to the ER yesterday and was given a medicine cabinet full of drugs; nothing seems to be working though.

The husband as me hooked up though - the laptop and this:

42" Panasonic.  We were planning on getting a flat screen for the bedroom, he just expedited it.  He worked hard this weekend to run all of the cables and lines in the wall. Eventually, the power cord will be in the wall as well, he just didn't get a chance to move the electrical box. He's also been feeding me really well and doing a bunch of other really sweet things. I am the luckiest gal, really.

I have so much to do - and I am so behind on everything... I cannot wait to get out of this bed and back to my normal, chaotic life.

oooh my aching...

back.

i am typing this from flat on my back.
so if there are any mistakes it's cuz i can't see the keyboard really.

not sure what i did wednesday, but my back is not happy.
i had a major issue back in 2004... and it's come back to haunt me 3 or 4 times since then.

since i've now been out of commission for almost three days, i am giving in and going to the doctor. especially since my feet are white and super numb.

i think that's a good enough reason.

right?
