My Jackson 5: Rain rain...

Rain rain...

It seems everybody today is whining about the rain today. However it was a nice thing to wake up to! I love how a good rain mellows out the mood and "cleans" everything. It's almost like a new beginning. The slate gets wiped clean and it's time to start over. Kind of perfect actually for this time in our lives!

I decided Sunday night at about 9:30 that I want to turn our office into Nora's room. Originally I was going to have all three girls share a room, but after sitting in the vacant bedroom(as the girls were with Nanna that night). I decided it would be too crowded for three cribs to be in there. So I went and sat in the office and began to execute my plan for the remodel. Andy was not so thrilled until I told him he could move the deer head downstairs if he gave up the office(keeping in mind he never uses the office, but for whatever man-territory claims he believes he had on it he was ok relinquishing it).

So the next morning I went to Lowes and picked out paint and came home and went to work. First off, ya'll should know how much I LOATHE painting. So taking this on I credit 100% to pregnancy hormones. Secondly the office was acting as a storage area for everything I wanted to get rid of, but Andy refused to get rid of so what I was going to do with all the jink was beyond me. I compacted as much stuff as I could into a box to take to Goodwill while only labeling the box with a "general" term as not to give too much detail to the dear husband:) After weeding through a lot of the mess and shoving what I couldn't make a decision on back into the closet to deal with later, I got the entire room coated twice by lunch when I had to go pick up the ladies. I still need to do one more coat to ensure no bleed through, but It looks 100 times better already.

So today as I am going to try and get the last coat on before I do the lower border of the room, I find out the girls are sick:( They both are coughing and throwing up and snotty. They had this about 2 weeks ago when we found out they had ear and sinus infections and after a few days on Amoxicillin they were all cleared up. But after the amoxicillin was over, it all came back so I'm guessing that they might have the same run down again. But thankfully Andy is off the next 3 days so he can help and hopefully get the house and room cleaned up so the girls don't do a little decorating of their own! My poor little ladies though...they are such good troopers even though they are sick. Just a little whiney, but still sleep and play like normal. I just worry about their appetites which have diminished to nothing. I know that it's normal, but I still feel so bad for them.

Well today was a complete rambling day! But this is what a blog is for right? I hope everyone has a fantastic Tuesday!
