I just don't have much to say this week which is somewhat unusual, I usually have at least a funny story or new project idea to share but that's not the case. My thoughts this week seem a bit stagnant, kind of like two steps forward in the positive attitude life is amazing direction and then a big step back keeping me just about where I was before.
Our week started off so well, it felt great to be home and welcomed with huge hugs and kisses from my boys. We had a Monday morning play date with friends, nothing special, all of us in sweats just sharing our weekend highs and lows. Those are always the best play dates, a quick text, nothing fancy but instead spontaneous with some slightly over-baked lemon muffins and conversation that flutters here and there.
Somehow though from there the week felt slightly off. We were busy but not chicken with my head cut-off busy (maybe I should stop using that phrase now that we actually own chickens) yet I didn't feel we ever got in the groove this week. I finished up two custom Poplin orders, both unique and completely different, bought a bunch of new fabric and made a plan for "need to make" items for my upcoming shows.
I taught a few days this week with one of the classes being fifth grade. It is funny to see the girls acting all giggly and "look at me" while the boys strut around like they are so macho when in reality they are all still just kids. As I watched each student I could almost match them up with old classmates of mine, thinking oh ya he will be like so and so and she will be the next so and so. We have a two year olds birthday party tomorrow so I spent time this week putting together a gift. You know me with themes, I just love them and for some reason set my sights on a bathtub gift theme. Found a bunch of ideas from DIY blogs and pinterest, made a giant mess in our already messy kitchen but in the end have a really cute basket filled with homemade bubble bath, lotion, toys and bath paints.
Our kitchen project is still going on, slowly yet surely coming together. My hubby has been hit with the stomach bug so a vacation day set aside to finish up projects was used up on sickness. The backsplash is all tiled though, we have a new stainless microwave and dishwasher and the range hood is up- not complete but up. The floors remain unfinished as we continue to debate our flooring choice and wait patiently for tax return money. I can see how it happens though that projects go unfinished for years. Everything is functioning, we have counters and all the necessary appliances making it difficult to find motivation late at night to accomplish anything. We did get the bathroom linen closet put back together and the cleaning supply closet is close so at least the nursery aka current storage room is slowly emptying out. Whether we are ready or not this baby will be here in 8 weeks or less and my belly seems to be the one constant thing in this house continuing to progress, move forward and grow.
I love having lots of thoughts, things to share and pictures to show but the quiet weeks are nice too. Pondering, praying (yes I am slowly getting my prayer life back on track) and deciding to keep things private is where I was at this week, maybe next week I will have more to say but for now enjoy your weekend and love the little things.
