A little piece of heaven

Now that I’m home and hormone crazy, my nesting instinct is on overdrive.  So I decided – it’s time for a makeover.  Since Nathan was born, my house has steadily gone downhill.  We haven’t paid any attention to it and has gotten uglier and uglier.  Now that I’m in a different place mentally, and with Belle on the way, it feels like a perfect time to spruce things up.  So today Nathan, my mom and I went to look at furniture.  I am so excited about this project!

We went to MortiseTenon and here are some of the things we liked:

I’ll take some “before” pictures this weekend so I can have them ready. Unfortunately the remodeling will take a while – at least 6 weeks as some stuff takes a while to be made and delivered – but by the time Belle arrives, the house should be looking good and feeling homey!

We had a good time and celebrated the project by going to dinner and Nathan even had some ice cream, since he’s no longer allergic to dairy 🙂 (although he will only have it every once in a blue moon ).

PS – did you notice I’m reclaiming my dining room?

Today we went to the movies and watched Extraordinary Measures.  I was already sobbing after the first few scenes.  I thought it was a really powerful story.  They really captured the essence of living with a child with disabilities.  I won’t say much because I hope everyone watches it.  It was a great movie.

I didn’t get out of pijamas today.  It was just one of those days.  I put on a jacket over my PJ tops and sweat pants over my pj pants and some Ugg boots and off I went.  It’s been so cold.  At least it seems to have stopped raining.

And because it’s friday, a couple of confessions:

*  This is my 3rd day without taking a shower.  I know…ewwwwwwwwwwwww groooosssssssssssssss! It’s just tooo cold!

*  I’m a kiss-a-holic.  I can’t stop kissing Nathan – he’s just too yummy!

*  I was a tomboy as a kid.  Would choose playing with my brothers cars any day before playing with barbies. Although I did have a pair of twin dolls that I loved, they were the only girly toys I played with.

*  I’ve always dreamed of writing a book and living in a little cabin in the mountains overlooking the ocean far far away from society.

*  I have 133 emails that I need to reply to.  Would someone like to volunteer as my office assistant 😉

Have a lovely weekend!!!

A few people emailed me saying the code for the “Pray for Head Control”  button didn’t work.  I updated it here:

Hopefully this one will work.
