Not a Project Mom

Both of my kids are in the fourth grade.  They were given a project at the beginning of the month that is due today, the 10.  There assignment was to build a Native American Dwelling and write a one paragraph report on the type of people that lived in them.

We purchased the items needed to complete there projects last Tuesday.  My son, being the ever adventurous one, chose to do a pueblo.  So we bought brown sand with the thought of mixing it will glue and forming it into the shapes needed.  The weekend has now come and gone and said project hasn’t even been started (dad was supposed to have helped the boy with his.)  So to save my sanity we went with the age old sugar cube igloo.  That was a pain in the a** also.

During this process I know I told him to focus more than I can count.  Several melt downs from my daughter and two finished projects later I have decided that I am so not a mom that does well with two kids having projects.  Let alone waiting till the last minute to start them.

I am now off to clean up the mess left from the project rampage.  I suppose I should take picture huh.

Upside down

So I was getting gas today at 7-11.  Started to fill the tank and a lady pulls up in the spot behind me.  As I stood there waiting for my tank to be full I noticed her “fighting” with the credit card reader.  I watch her and notice that while she has  reader strip on the correct side she still has it upside down.  I decide that I should go help her.  She didn’t get why it wasn’t reading her card.  I had to explain it to her.  That was my good deed for the day.  The sad thing is what I thought of after she was done and drove away.  “Now my prints are on her card.  What happens if she gets killed and they dust her card for finger prints?”  Yeah I think I have been watching to many crime shows.

Not Again

When I became a parent I didn’t sign up for this.  Once again my daughter has share her germs and I am sick with the crud.  I am tire, ache all over, if I stand too long I get really tired, my throat hurts and my sinus’s are stopped up but my noise is still finding a way to run.  Oh did I mention I still have to work.  Two more days left till the weekend and I can crash.

Happy

My oldest friend is finally happy again!!!!!  I got the best call from her tonight.  I could hear the smile in her voice.  YAY!!!

Have you ever…….

Have you ever been planning to have someone come stay with you and you are getting the house ready.  You think in your head I have 3 weeks to get everything I want to get done completed.  Then a few days later you look at the calander and you only have a week left and go HOLY SHIT I was wrong about three weeks I only had 2 weeks to get everything done.  Yeah that was me this morning.

Why does February only have 28 days instead of 30 or 31.  I wanted those extra days.  Everything will be done.  House painted, cleaned and pretty for my sister-in-laws visit.  Now if only I could get hubby to pitch in a little more.  He threw out his back this past weekend moving my sons bed.

WOW 9 more days till she is here.  I am so excited!!!!  We are going to P-A-R-T-Y while she is here.  YAY!!

I wish I could get a new paint job

Hubby and I bought a house last year and the paint they used is not so good. Been doing a lot of painting as of late. Would like it to be done and look very pretty.

HELP!! Comment Luv

Okay so my friend Meghann had this nifty cool thing on her comments section.  You can click a box and it will add a link to your last post that you posted.  I signed up for all that coolness.  Now I can’t get figure out how to get that coolness to work with WordPress.  Yes Comment Luv gives directions on how to add it but I just don’t get it.  I think it may have something to do with the fact that I haven’t totally learned how to use all of the gidgets and gadgets that wordpress has.  Who knows.  all I know is I thinks it rocks and I can’t get it to work.  Will someone out there in internet land help me?  I would be you lover of your blog forever!!!!

Cheater Pics

So I went to Behr’s webpage.  It is the paint we used throughout our house. They have this nifty virtual color center that helps you pick the colors of paint you want to use.  I got these examples of what the kids rooms looked like.  Oh what you thought you were going to get real pictures that I took.  Okay yes you will but in the mean time this gives you and idea of what there rooms look like and what colors they picked.  It also gives me a post for today.  BWAHAHAHA

Cera’s Room

John’s Room

So these are what they sort of look like.  Cera’s picture looks more like what hers really looks like.  John’s looks like a cave or something.  That was his goal.  If I would have let him paint the entire room black he would have.  So now my other question is……….

Which one do you like better….

Kitchen With Lighter Top Color?

OR

Kitchen with Darker Top

Okay I know that the colors are pretty much the same.  The top one is one shade lighter than the bottom but we just can’t decide which one we like.  Also there is no hope of changing the bottom color.  It is already painted that color and we like it a lot.  Also remember that the chair rail isn’t white.  We are staining it to match the cabnets.  Let me know what you think out there in cyberland.

More Painting

Okay it is official I am a painting fool.  In the last two weekends I have painted my daughters room,  my sons room and our laundry room.  I think if I don’t see another can of paint for a while I will be very happy.  My new mission is to find my house again.  It is so totally trashed from not deep cleaning the last two weekends that it really scares me.

Though about the not seeing another paint can for a while.  I don’t see it happening.  I think hubby and I finally picked a color for the kitchen.  So maybe in a few weeks the kitchen will be totally done, with the chair rail in place and everything.  Of course pictures will come as soon as the kids rooms are done and clean.  Okay so you may never get pictures because there rooms are never clean enough to take a picture of.  I should have done pictures before we put there stuff back into there rooms.
