I love this

Really?!

This week, The Boy and Her Nibs both had ear infections, and The Boy has a nasty cough, which led to some new accessories: a humidifier, and a nebulizer. Also, I've got bad allergies which seem to be transforming into an annoying cold. I'm gaining stress-weight at an alarming rate and can't get my house all clean at one time. 

But for some reason, my number one priority is redecorating. I know. Really?! I am taking care of the kids, I do care that my upstairs bathroom's trash can is completely overwhelmed, and I know that Her Nibs needs help with her reading (she's having trouble with reading comprehension... can't remember a whole sentence immediately after reading it...), but I am completely caught up in beautifying my home, making it look 'put together', deliberate, coordinated and lovely. I think it's a good goal; it just surprises me that it doesn't feel like a back-burner undertaking. I've tried to be very anti-clutter, but I'm afraid the result has made for a rather sparse home environment...

*sigh*

Well, at least I'm making progress on it. With my new living room color scheme, I'm really kicking myself for getting the lame teal-green exercise ball instead of holding out for a chic silver one. But, the family silhouettes are done and framed. When Turtar gets back from his conference, they'll be hung and I'll post pictures of the fruits of my labor.
