I FINALLY have my voice back!! Horah! Seriously I haven't felt well for TWO weeks. It's been crazy around here! My voice arrived right on time. Ellie's had a really rough couple of days. I don't know if it's a "stage" or if she's just growing BUT my nice little girl has been transformed into a tantrum throwing, hit my sister, yell at everyone every minute of the day kid! I can't quite figure it out. She's always been a kids who has needed sleep and she stopped taking a nap a couple of months ago so maybe I'll just have to start putting her back down for an hour in the afternoon. Well, hopefully I figure something out because if I don't her nose is going to be flat from all the time-outs!
It's saint Patty's day today (which I'm sure most of you are aware of). This St. Patty's has special meaning for me...... it means I'm one holiday closer to nice weather. It's been snowing here the last week. We've gotten A LOT of snow. It is lovely and white and clean but defiantly not green and lush and warm. Dusty, as I mentioned in a previous post, has a 6 days off in a row and we (I) was really hoping to go somewhere (ANYWHERE...preferably warm) BUT I've been checking the weather reports south of the border and it doesn't look like optimal driving conditions so I guess we'll be renovating for the time off. It'll be nice too. We'll be able to finish our kitchen cabinets (Dusty is building them from scratch.... they are so nice and SO SO SO much more cost effective a.k.a. cheap). We'll also be able to get our entrance tiled. We've had the slate sitting in our basement since November just waiting to get enough time (and motivation) to do it. All this work will mean that we are that much closer to starting our master bath. HIP HIP Horay!
We've also been pricing out play yards and fencing for our yard. IF we don't end up going on a holiday it means that we'll also have the money to be able to put those two things up this spring. And we kinda need the fence so the bears don't eat my dog or kids or me!
All these things to do, plan, and dream about.... (at least I won't be bord!)
