My New Rug


Yay! We got a new rug! It has all the colors in it of my living room, and now I just have to convince My Love to let me paint the walls, and we will be in business! Honestly, at first I really didn't like it, but it has grown on me a lot, and I will go as far as to say although it isn't my favorite, I certainly like it. One day my home will actually look all put together rather than a whole bunch of random things randomly placed. We are pretty happy with it though.

I think your rug looks awesome - everyone needs a little more red I always say. By the way - we've been married for 10. Last night we realized that the only things we've bought new (not 2nd hand, or gifted) are our bed and table (and we just bought the table last year!) Kind of fun that everything has a story behind it - maybe one day, but really - coordination? Who needs it?

So I can't really see if that it tan or green in your rug but if it's tan I think you should definitely rethink the color of sage green you want to paint the walls!
Sorry about talking on the phone at the store...my kids never do well while shopping! But yeah, if the kids are better then we would love to come help! Jon will be out of town on Tuesday, maybe we should do it then, or maybe we want his help??? We'll see!

So this is Ashlee that made the comment from 2 little miracles. I made a blog for my friend that had her twins at 24 weeks and I don't know how to sign in under a different name yet!

May I Take Your Order, Please?

I know that young people must have jobs. They have to start somewhere, but really, there has got to be some sort of intelligence test or guidelines before hiring people. Really.

We bought some crown molding a while ago. I thought we would have enough. Turns out, as we were getting ready to put it up, we found we are about 5 ln feet short. Just 5. How annoying is that? So, I called Lowes and ended up speaking with a young man (I am guessing hoping he was young). The conversation amazed me.

Me: "Hi do you carry any Trim-Tex crown molding?"
Lowes: "What's that?"
"A brand of crown molding. We are a couple of feet short."
"Is that like a brand of baseboard?"
"Well, yeah, sort of. Crown molding is decorative wood strip that goes along the ceiling."
"Oh, okay. So what kind of tile do you need?"
"Tile?"
"To go along the ceiling, right?"
"Uh, I don't need tile. I need crown molding."
"I hav…

Vegetarians at the Barbecue

We don't see our friends as often as we would like.  Something about us being the only ones married and with kids.  Whatever.  So any chance to have them all come play is a welcome one.  Since Jeffrey just had a birthday, we decided to have a barbecue tonight.

We are having a barbecue and we don't eat meat.  Kind of ironic, isn't it?  When I thought about it, this video came to mind.

What, Again?

"Crap.  I am pregnant again."

That is what I have been thinking all week long.

I am too tired.  I should not be this tired.  Why am I so tired?

I am too tired to make dinner.  I am too tired to clean the house.  Heck, I am too tired to even shower. 

The only thing in my experience that I could come up with was pregnancy.

But then I learned something.

When the little air sacks in the bronchial tubes become inflamed, it makes it difficult for the body to get enough air.  So the heart has to work twice as hard distributing oxygen throughout your body.  Which makes you unbelievably tired.

And not pregnant.

But with Bronchitis.

At least that is the unofficial diagnosis.

So I have been sitting on the couch all last week.  And weekend.  And today.  And probably for the rest of the week.  Probably for the rest of this blasted sickness.

But the feeling tired and coughing up a lung is not the hard part.  The hard part is leaving my family to fend for themselves.  We have been enjoying…
