Stagnant Progress



Well, let me start this blog post off with this: Huuuuuh, sigh…. I desperately want to sign in and start typing about all of the wonderful projects we’ve gotten accomplished since my last post, but unfortunately, that isn’t going to happen. We have become victims of feeling sorry for ourselves… Absolutely packed 12+ hour work days, plus working on the weekends have somehow convinced us that we are completely justified to come home at the end of the day, change into PJs as quickly as possible and crash on the couch with take out and Netflix – not moving until time to brush our teeth and go to bed. I think this week all we managed to motivate ourselves to do was clean up after ourselves and take out the trash a couple of times. We’re pathetic…


On a lighter note, our three nieces are coming over tonight! We’re pretty excited about that. We used to spend tons of time with them, but with their cheerleading, dance and basketball schedules and our schedule with work and the renovation, we never see each other anymore. Planning a fun night to make up for it, though. Taking them out to dinner, then at our niece, Maddie’s, request, we are going to attempt to make cookie bowls for our DIY sundae bar. Our other niece, Anisa, is very 'crafty' and very into DIY. So, I’ve been trying to think of a project we could do on the house that would be unique – something I could show people when they came in and say, “Our girls did this.”

As far as the project ideas go, I’m drawing a blank… I thought about some of the vinyl wall graphics, but that isn’t particularly unique. I also thought about doing an outdoor project, but it’s raining. I could have them help me paint, but that sounds more like child labor than an exciting venture. I’m stumped. At least I have the next 10 hours to think of something... Hmmmm.... Pinterest, here I come!
