Ahhh...

Why do I always get in over my head with things?? Lol. So we decided to have a housewarming party this Saturday. Why? Don't know, just felt like the thing to do since we've been here a couple of months now. We decided to tackle completely redo-ing the front yard. Ahem.

Pulling up ALL the weeds and bushes I decided 'didn't go'. Replanting pretty ones in the holes. Numerous trips to Lowe's and Home Depot and back. Got 4 bags of mulch and I didn't like the color. I wanted some like our neighbors. Ok, back to get that kind. Deciding where the crepe mertles should go. Deciding I didn't like them in that spot. Nick - uproot, re-dig hole. Deciding that one won't get enough sun. Nick - growls, does it again. Deciding I want bricks around the edges. Nick- side of house wheels them over in clumps for me :) thanks hun. Nick- deciding for me that he is NOT re-digging anything else, I have to like it. Me- fine then it will look like crap. Us- done for the day, we'll finish in a few days. THEN...the unthinkable happens.. RAIN. Can't work outside.

It is now Friday, one day away from our party and we have unfinished yard work, things not hung up giving 'bare' look, shelves that have been a pain in the rear since day one. Only have one bracket up and a hole to where the other side should go. Gave up on that 'for now' about 3 weeks ago. The bedding I have been dying to get only has a few items here and there at the dept. stores but I can 'order online for more options.' Yeah I have about a day for it to get here. Hmph.

So, needless to say we have about 30 people coming over to welcome us to our " I DON'T KNOW WHY WE DECIDED TO DO THIS, AND NOTHING IS READY BUT THANKS FOR COMING OVER TO PARTY' party. But, taking it in stride and realizing maybe it was just an excuse to get our friends over and hang out with them :) It should be fun anyways :) At least I convinced Nick to hire a cleaning lady to come over today since I have SOO much to do, I can't even think about cleaning too! ;) muuahahaha. Hope everyone has a great weekend!!

~LOVE~
