Sorry

Sorry. Just not in the mood to blog lately. ...

So tired.

Overwhelmed by the tons of construction going on. We're getting a new kitchen (sooooo glad!), but there's clutter everywhere from moving everything out of the kitchen. I feel like I can't move in my tiny house that has been taken over by kitchen stuff.

No creative energy left to scrapbook or do anything else that's fun. Just really ready for the whole renovation thing to be done ... and discouraged because there's still a lot more to do (as in several weeks worth of work).

I don't function well at all without solid routines, and the renovation has set me off my routines for several weeks.

Carlos' seventh birthday is tomorrow. Kind of sad because my "baby" is getting bigger ... and I can never get that time back. Just want him to stay innocent ... and I want to be the center of his universe forever (well, it's nice to be the center of someone's universe--don't you agree, lol!).

We'll have a very small birthday celebration at our messy house tomorrow (just cake and ice cream ... and presents of course!), and he'll have his real birthday party on Friday at Chuck E. Cheese. Some of his classmates are coming, so that'll be nice for him!

Maybe I'll muster up enough energy and enthusiasm to post some pictures of his celebrations. :)

I know it's not fun. But just think how much more you are going to love your house when it's all done! What an exciting time! I'll pray that God will give you what you need to get through this!! You can do it!! Your sister has faith in you!

I agree with Michelle, everything is off! BUT thank God it's all temporary! You'll soon be cooking again and enjoying your new kitchen in no time! Hang in there, Carmela!

Missing You

By
We've been having internet problems since last Friday evening. It goes on and off sporadically. Someone should be coming today to fix it (and of course it's working perfectly right now, lol!). I don't usually blog in the middle of the day (too much house stuff to do) , but I gotta grab the internet while I can. I'm desperate! It has actually startled me to realize how connected I am to all of you--even you, Ronalyn, and I have never met you. I have so missed reading blogs, commenting on them, and posting. I have really felt disconnected to you all (yeah, I'm a "recovered hick" but I can't erase that expression from my vocabulary--however, I don't say, "y'all." I do draw the line there. Sorry if I'm offending anyone--as in my sister and brother-in-law, but I don't consider you guys hicks.) . So I hope the person who comes to repair the internet issue can perform a miracle so I don't have to miss you anymore :)

A Rare Moment Captured on Film

By
No, it's not a rare moment that my kids brush their teeth (well, it would be if left up to them!). I walked into the bathroom tonight to see both my kids in the bathroom brushing their teeth ... and this is the rare moment--they actually got along! I had to run and get my camera to document this rare moment of parental bliss. And now I'm sharing it with you. Now isn't your day more complete?!

Just another day ...

By
Today was a full day. The workers put in our patio door ... sooooooooo excited to have this door!!! The pictures look much less than impressive b/c I didn't take time to play around with them in Photoshop (CSI: Miami is on so I'm glued to the T.V, plus I have a huge load of laundry to fold still). I'm so thrilled to have this door that, good pic or not, I have to share. Like I said, we've never done anything like this before, so every little thing excites me beyond belief :-D They worked on it all day, having to break out a rather large section of the wall, take out a window and door, and move our electrical outlet and porch light. And as you can tell, they have to finish tomorrow. This is the view from the inside: This is the view from the outside: It was strange to have them in my house. But apparently, in deference to my "feminine ears," they decided to refrain from using their Spanish cuss words. That was nice :) Plus our washer is on the blink (has bee...
