omgosh! it brings such a sweet smile to my face when I read the comments ya'll have left me. And the sweet emails too! I'm so glad that ya'll understand. I know we all get in ruts, and burn out. I just feel like I'm not snapping out of it. Christopher starts school on Monday, so I'm thinking that will be good for me, get me back into my routine. these lazy summer mornings don't get me going! I feel like such a lazy bum!
But lazy bum or not...my arms are a bit sore today! one of my BFF's got a new table...and she gave me her old one. yes...you heard me....GAVE me! The table of my dreams! So I went to visit her on Thursday, loaded it up and came back home on Friday, after doing some fun shopping with her, and she followed me home...well not exactly followed...we kept bouncing back and forth on who was in front cause of traffic. But anyway, so yummy boyfriend and his friend unloaded it for me. Kim and I loaded it because we are strong woman but since there were men in the house to unload...I figured they needed to use their muscles! so first thing Monday morning...I ran over to Joanns and bought fabric to recover the chairs to match my decor. and I'm even more in love with it now!
Isn't it so pretty? Thanks Kim! you rock!
Another birthday party this past weekend. geesh! I think we are done now for a bit.....until mine. which is still a few months away! anyway, it was a friends birthday, and thats why Kim followed me (sorta) home, because she was coming to stay with us and go to the party. And of course...I wanted a picture of her, yummy boyfriend and I.
Back to Christopher starting school......he's an 8th grader this year! omg!!!! last year before high school! How did that happen? I lost a battle last week...and ended up buying him a pair of shoes THAT I DID NOT WANT TO! and why? because they were $15.00 cheaper than all the others. And when your kids shoes are in the price range between $55-$70, you'll take any discount you can. And since he was so DEAD SET on these...I decided to be weak and give in. And alot because my mom kept reminding how I dressed like Madonna and had rainbow brite makeup and flock of seaguls hair and bracelets up to my armpits and never said a thing! so...here's what he just HAD TO HAVE.
can you just hear me saying "ugh"? cause I am! how are those going to match anything? really? And then purple 80's style sunglasses with mirror lenses were required too, if I wanted to get him to work with me for a photoshoot before school. hoping to get that in tomorrow. This morning we had our first Orthodontist appointment. Tomorrow morning xrays. I'm super excited for him to get braces! Not excited about the cost...but ohwell....my kid is #1 to me! Debt will be there no matter what right? So soon we'll have pics of him as a "brace face". Some bling bling in the mouth. a nice silver "grill". and he's already warned me that they'll be purple bands. What is with the purple! geesh!
Alrighty. off to remind the boy to change his laundry around. I'm trying to teach him to do laundry. My moms idea. She told him he has Sun/Tues/Thurs to get his laundry done. Well he missed Thursday because we left out of town, and he didn't think about Sunday, and of course it's all my fault now. You should see the piles in the hallway. I wish I had half the amount of clothes that boy has! And thats NOT including the new shirts for school! He's easy to buy for though. me...NOT SO MUCH!
okay..until next post.....goodbye...and I'm hoping to have the 4 dolls I stained dressed.
Oh love the table and chairs....see now, I think I am going to bop over to Jo's to recover my cushions! Great idea!!! Thanks so much~And something that is totally weird, I totally understood the Madonna, rainbow bright, flock of seagulls hair, bracelts up to there reference.....Oye!

The table and chairs look FAB. I love the redo - meshes nicely with the curtains and decor in your kitchen! Good job! Hey - purple is a great color! I love that your son doesn't mind being different and loves the color PURPLE! I do too! He rocks! Those Vans are kewl! And purple brand braces - he's so sweet! Love y'all!
