Randomness, vents, and AWs go here.
I got up at 3:30 this morning and now I'm drinking coffee before I try to get a wall painted in the new family room. There are no words for how much I hate this wall texture. None. Painting the upper half of a 15x14 room shouldn't require four days and two gallons of paint.
mrs.jacinthe, that sounds like an awful, awful room/wall to paint. Here's hoping it gets better.
I haven't been sleeping well and am just exhausted. Also, woke up with a sore throat and sound like my voice is going so am afraid I'm sick. I hate sore throats and never know the best way to treat them. Guess it'll be a day of vitamin C and hoping it doesn't get worse.
ETA: anyone have tips on improving ones immune system in general?
DD is 5 weeks old and doing really well. She's so stinkin' cute - like she looks like a baby doll. Anyway, my maternity leave has felt harried. DH is working some later hours and will be traveling soon (ugh). Meanwhile, I've been doing so many chores on a daily basis (e.g., dropping off a bunch of thrift store donations today). I'm ready for the fun of decorating to begin.
I'm annoyed that the contractors we usually use for small projects have been giving crazy high quotes lately. We got one this weekend and it's more than double what we expected (1 day job, few materials, over $3000).

Every time I think "oh, I bought all the hard stuff. Remaining stuff is easy" I am beyond floored. Agreeing on end table lamps will probably end up like The Hunger Games.

mrs.jacinthe, wall texture is evil. I think that color goes well with the woodwork.
My oldest has been a BEAST lately. DH and I are having a tough time parenting, because the things that work are completely unnatural to us. I have been losing it lately.
I put in proposals for two HUGE projects. I'd have to hire staff if I got one. The smaller of the two I think I have, but the larger I'm not 100% that I want. Um, don't try to talk me down from my number if you have no idea what you are talking about or what it includes. Red flag right there.

mrs.jacinthe, I have sage walls in our current house and I like them. I think they go well with darker wood. pumpkin, try taking echinacea - it's great for the immune system
I can't sleep. It sucks. I think my body has just gotten used to waking up super early since last week. Plus hot flashes. Bah!
Went by the house today to drop off lights and no one was there. I'm not sure why no one is working today. It's weird cause there is plenty to do still. Time to meet up with the contractor to talk about next steps and timing...I want to be IN before Christmas, dammit!

Ginger root, lemon and honey made into a tea. Will sooth your throat. Vitamin D and B12. Keeps me chugging along. I hope you feel better.

Did you get up at 3:30 specifically to paint. If so, I'm impressed!! I hope it's going well SaveSave

I like the color mrs.jacinthe , but you're crazy for painting before work.
I got our family photo proofs back and I'm dying because H is smiling in not.a.single.picture. Nothing. He claims he "smiled plenty" but was going for stoic. Dude, NO ONE ELSE IS STOIC. You just look unhappy.
Happy kid picture though!
There's nothing between this smile and "holy crap tone it down kid" for C lol. Also, A is still not a fan of cameras.

I sure did. I can't explain myself anymore. Who am I?

My first flight was delayed because of fog, causing me to miss my connecting flight. Spent many crappy hours in Washington Dulles waiting for another flight, in a massively crowded airport, up close with gross people, close enough to smell their armpits and bad breath, and even hear them farting right next to me.
