We are working on making our house look better. We have been here a year and have not done much to it at all. I wish I would have thought of taking pictures before 🙁

Here are the after pictures which is tons of times better than it was before. My in-laws came over to give us a hand, so we finished it all in one day.

visit my mother-in-law. Wow I know why she won’t drive to our house very often. I thought it but didn’t say it out loud. I didn’t want to hurt her feelings.

I enjoy her company oh so much, but she smokes and I can smell it in her home. She knows how much I don’t like the smell of smoke and she asks me all the time is it ok in here. I tell her yes to be polite, when in fact I get a lil sick to my tummy.

When I visit her I go outside and sit on the deck much, but it was raining yesterday and the deck was off limits. She had the A/C on and I suggested we open the windows and we did but it got hot and humid shortly thereafter. Thank goodness the windows were open long enough to air out the home a bit more and it was almost tolerable when we had to close the windows and turn the A/C back on. Well I made it thru and had a really nice time after all.

Sign she said it was nice having me over and she hoped I would come back soon. I will return, hopefully on a nice sunny day when we can sit outside for the majority of the visit.

My one year old fell asleep around 8:30 pm. We were happy my husband and I, so happy we watch two movies.

We both went to bed around 11:30 pm, a bit later than we wanted to but it was fine. My baby had other plans though, at 1:30 am he woke up and had no desire to go back to sleep. I tried and tried to get him to sleep with no success. Well I thought maybe he is hungry and that is why he is awake. I got up and fed him at 2 a.m. I went back to bed and still he wasn’t ready to sleep. Needless to say he stayed awake till 3 am or so. The sad thing was I had an appointment with the pediatrician today and thought I would be too tired to go. I peeled myself out of bed at 8 a.m. and went to the appt. I am back and not too tired but I know here soon I will need to sleep a bit. Wow what a sleepless night, I sure pray it doesn’t happen too often. Wishful thinking I know it will probably happen more than I can count on two hands or more.

We are having chicken salad tonight.

Romaine

feta cheese

chicken

carrots

small corn

etc.

We have lots of stuff to put on it and we really really enjoy them.  Easy to prepare, easy on the digestion and very filling.
