Get 'Er Done

Life right now is really crazy ... besides the usual variety of weekly physical therapy appointments that keeps us running the roads, I am embarking on a couple of decorating ventures at the home. For the past two weeks, I’ve had the millwork, walls and trim in our downstairs bathroom prepped for painting. Unfortunately, I’ve not made any further progress in actually starting the painting process – there just is no time to tackle the project with the twins around. Of course, there’s always nighttime after the twins have gone to bed; but even in spite of another strong cup of coffee, I just haven’t had the gumption to take on the painting at night either. I am just so exhausted by the end of the day. So, for two weeks now I've been looking at our downstairs bathroom all prepped and trimmed out for painting and have told myself over and over and over again "you just need to get er' done".

I’m often amazed by the fact that here they have one another as built-in playmates yet they still want to be near me at ALL TIMES. If I dare to leave them, even to run upstairs and do a load of laundry, I’ll hear them yelling: “Mommy, mommy, mommy, wanna’ play now?” While it’s very sweet to be pined over by these little girls, every once and while, I must admit that it would be really nice to sit down and not be instantly swarmed by a throng of little darlings and all of their accompanying playthings.

This weekend, my time will come however! Mike is taking Paige and Taylor to the zoo so I’ve already mapped out my upcoming weekend and my “free” time. I’m FINALLY going to finish that painting in the bathroom this weekend. At last! And, after all that hard work of painting, I may just need a little extra pampering so a standing pedicure appointment will be in order for sure!
