My cute little housey is coming together at last!

ok so I am starting with my bedroom because it is special to me.   My father in law Butch is a handy little feller.  Every year for Christmas we get a gift from them, we can pick whatever we want within a $150.00 budget.  One year I got a bunch of books, another some Cd's then a light came on...........I realized I could exploit his talents for personal gain.  It was a beautiful epiphany for which I am grateful!  Two years ago this was my present....

It has suspended side cabinets which make me happy.  And as you can see my addiction circles continues on...to make it even better I found the softest Calvin Klein sheets for oober cheap at TJ Max.  That store is definately of the Lord.  Then this good old Ty bedding from Sears which was $100.00 cheaper than the last time I drooled over it  yay!

This is what I got this year!!!   I just got it installed last weekend and I heart it mucho.  It originally was going to be suspended, but I worried about pulling my wall down and having a knockout window unexpectedly between the living room and my bedroom......so Butch and his handy self made legs to match my bed.   I love this so much I almost die every single time i go in my room.....

Some of you may ponder the practicality of having no handles.....its a bit tricky but I am getting used to it.  I just can't bear the thought of drilling holes in this rectangle box of happiness.

So this is my living room.....notice the circle mirrors, and circle wood wall art....circle curtains and circle pillows.   I am a mess I am fully aware.  I recently sold my couches to Kyle my sister, and found thhis leather set on craigslist for $250.00 I was so excited.   Apparently I had hidden aspirations to have my sofa perfectly blend with my wall color, what was I thinking?

The view from my living room.   With a cup of coffee I have discovered it is possible to stare out the window without thinking for roughly two hours.  I love it.

 The other side of my living room!  More circles as you can see....

My kitchen, I was preparing for a house full, so excuse the clutter.

Dining Room, yes folks, more round things its like crack.

So these are the finished rooms in the house.  I will post more later on as it comes.   If any of you were ever in my old house which could have belonged to Rainbow Bright you may know how hard it may be for me to restrain myself from bright colors, my goal in this house was RELAXING and NEUTRAL.  Its hard but I love the way its turning out so far!  Mostly I love living close to family again.

Things I would love to own at some point....



This is just cool and I am more than certain my Dave is capable....we shall see...

I heart this because there are circles on it I think.   I have this weird thing with circles and dots and if the circles are mirrors.... LOOK OUT ... I will most likely die of happiness.

Ok so I LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS....this is a tan and ovory striped duvet I found on Etsy that has Love birds stenciled on it and some hand embroidery.   I bought all of the things to copy this and chickened out.  One day when I am rich I will be able to pay 355 for it.   SO CUTE

Why is this pic here?   Well for several reasons....I would love to be able to eat here almost every friggin day can't afford to though.  What would I order?   Salted caramel cupcakes.   I would then take a knife, scrape off the icing and eat it all in one beautiful bite then sweat from the sugar and fat I just consumed.   Another reason is that one day when I am big I want a store like this. I also love cooking just about more than anything, I love creating things that are full of yumness and watching people take that yumness and smile.   My sister Kyle could, in turn, sell her wares in a store like this, check her out she is a craft queen.

One tough teenager partially cracked, 2 upcoming to go....

Bailey oh Bailey how I love thee....   Many a heart ache you have caused, much stewing and brain racking and wondering you stir.  Boys can hardly control themselves, a line of broken hearts in the wake of your fierce cuteness and bombshellness.....a curse I am convinced for now a blessing to come I am sure. 

A little me?  Perhaps....ok who am I kidding, of course you are, only a better version.   You have this way...this call....and the harder you run the more you are pursued and He will win and I know it and it makes me smile.

I am watching you grow into a woman.  It scares me to death and makes me nervously excited at the same time.   The longer you try to figure out what you are and where you belong the more I see something welling up in you ready to emerge.   I am praying for it to spill out EVERYWHERE. 

Your beauty, your voice...wow your voice, your compassion, your confusion, your youness I love it all. So here's to you my crazy life loving scaring the hell outta me sometimes, squishy lovable singing, newly preppified, running after life while being chased down by God blossoming woman.   I heart your face off.

I have decided that I HATE teeth

I am laying in bed....normally this is a good thing, a thing I look forward to all day.   Today I am disgusted with my bed.  I have been parked here since Saturday night in complete and total agony.  Two weeks ago I got a toothache.  I took a round of antibiotics and even though I hate going, I made a dentist appointment
.
As a child we had the worst dentist EVER.  He would yell at you and tell you and was rough, in turn I am a dentalphobic disaster.  I have slowly been overcoming.  Until.......

I go to the dentist for my root canal...not great not terrible, I am sent home with an uncovered hole in my tooth that amazingly still hurts.   I took another week of drugs then back for the crown, only to find out we need to dig around in the canals again, and sure enough,  BANG a nerve, an unsedated non sleeping nerve sends me jumping, meanwhile lodging a dental instrument in the canal. 

Get all done and think all I need is a crown last thursday...when slowly I notice I begin resembling a chipmunk, bruises appear, I have a fever and my jaw is throbbing fiercely.  No sleeping no eating, lots of crying and it just gets worse and tomorrow morning????  I get to get the rest of a dental utensil removed, the canals stripped  YET AGAIN and then off to a specialist to save a tooth I wanted gone to begin with.    Must everything be a huge ordeal for me?  For now, I need prayers, drugs, soft pillows an icepack, hugs from kiddos and my Dave and mommy...please stop the madness ..... I say a world without teeth is a beautiful place.

Some recent things and stuff

Ok let us just say my attempt at keeping an updated blog actually means that when I work at Cessna I will be updating my blog because usually there is nothing better to do.   So as you may have guessed....No I have not been working at Cessna lately.

So catch up time.....I recently had one of those parenting moments where your heart breaks and you don't know what to do....My Benjamin, my loveable, smart, fun loving, sports attempting son who everyone loves has been trying to get someone to spend the night for weeks, everyone is always "busy".  This past weekend his friend Noah from wrestling came over, Ben was so excited and I quote, "I didn't think anyone would want to spend time with me because I am so serious and boring."  This is the part that made me cry and cry and cry and just hug and hug and hug because really there were no words.  We went to the exploration place with Simon and his friend Zach a.k.a. MOTOR MOUTH cutiepie.  here are some pics....

Bailey and Noah on DA' Frone





I personally think this is gross I took it for Dave



On other Fronts, when I am not being the hostess of sleep over Central I got to be Becky Home Ecky this weekend and bake cupcakes for little Jax and Judah who both turned 2!  I personally am a fan of cupcakes over cake just about any day. They did a football theme  TOO CUTE.



Check em out on my Yummies tab!

 I have had the pleasure of long visits with Kyle lately and I had forgotten how nice it is to just sit and bizit with people you love.  I get caught up in busy things sometime and work myself into a whole.  It was lovely and it was a late night full of fun phone calls and clobbering people at phase 10!

Other than this I am mostly boring and lonely.   My Dave is out of town on business, my kids are in school, I have had more time off this past week than I have in a month and I am just about ready to come up with some sort of project or paint.....any ideas?
