Our 'L'

To say we have our hands full would be an understatement.
L literally ran screaming into the terrible two's. I appreciate that she is completely full of personality and spunk. However, that personality and spunk has given her a return trip ticket to time out over the past couple of months!
Despite her affinity for breaking all the rules, Laurelei has being budding into an adorable little girl. She loves to play hide and seek, sing along to her favorite movies, give us a continual play by play, and take very good care of her babies.Anyone else enjoying the terrible two's along with us?

"the blues"

Due to some recent, unexpected, circumstances I have had the 'luxury' of laying around the house for the past few days. In this time, I have realized a few things.

1) It is nearly impossible to sit still and relax in your own home. When I lay on the couch all I can think is, "look how messy that coat closet is!" or, "wouldn't some bolder drapes look better there?" or, "wow, I really should mop!." Does this mean I have a problem?

2) I will NEVER be done decorating and re-decorating my house. Is it impossible to be satisfied, or do my interests just change that quickly? Hmm...

3) I do not like to be alone. The more time I spend alone, the more my mind wanders to things like, "wouldn't some bolder drapes look better there?" Clearly not a healthy thought for me, given my pension for spending way to much on 'bargain' drapes that end up being replaced next month.

4) My house has "the blues." That's right. We are almost entirely blue, floor to ceiling, side to side, front to back. I believe whole heartily that blues are extremely soothing, but there is the potential that I have gone overboard....

Would you care to be the judge?

Even the kitchen and bathroom have caught the fever!



Any suggestions??

let me count the ways...

How many times and or different ways can I say...I REALLY cannot keep up with life these days. And mind you, its not only this blog that is suffering. Lately I have begun to resonate with the saying "stretched thin." After school, Lemon Tree, my friends, my family, and real life stuff there just seems to be no time left in the day. Without making any hasty changes, I have to say that sometimes I think my priorities need a little investigating, and maybe just a little more than a "talking to..." Does that make sense?

Ok, ok... this is is serious danger of turning into a place where I do a little too much thinking out loud. Tomorrow (and at this rate by tomorrow I mean, like, a month from now) I will move on to much lighter subjects. Subjects such as how cute L has gotten these days, or how terribly much I love my husband. You know, the good stuff.
