Some Mondays I look forward to being back to routine at work and not having to listen to the kids bicker for a few hours, other Mondays I just wish I could be a SAHM. The more I thought about it today though, I realized if I were a SAHM today all of my kids would be off to school and I would be home alone.
Hmmmmmm, I could handle that! Some peace and quiet. Plus no work pressures and deadlines. Sit around and relax all day. Ya, I could definitely handle that. (OH, and it is supposed to be 65 degrees outside today with lots of sun and no wind.)
BUT, I know myself. I would be have been cleaning like mad and be exhausted at the end of the day anyway. I have so many projects on my to-do list - painting, tearing down some wall paper in Lady Bug's room, shampoo carpets, tear out these hideous bushes in my front yard, the back yard needs a whole landscaping make-over, PLUS I have several crafty projects I want to do too. Oh, and there is the issue of separating the boys (read this post for more on that)
SO, as much as I would love to be home today doing a ton of projects (without a husband and kids under my feet), I know that financially we can't afford to do any of the major projects on my list right now anyway so I might as well be at work earning some money so that maybe this summer we can do some of the major projects on my list.
AND THAT LIST I MENTIONED - it scared my husband this weekend because he saw it in my purse -- it is a small spiral notebook that I have been jotting down ideas I have for the house, some updating, painting, etc. and the list is quite long. My husband has tomorrow off and I asked him if he wanted to start on my list..... he said, very emphatically, "NO!" LOL. Alright fine. But the list will only get longer as time goes by!
Hee hee!

ahhh... there is nothing like the husband's expression when he first takes in "The list"... :)
I am picking up season four from the library today and CAN'T WAIT... I was a little sad that Lisa died. I kind of just wanted her to run away. Does it ever say how she died? Was it suicide?
I have that list too-funny!
I guess I missed the boys and the seperate bedroom post-I was just working on a post I am going to be doing about why my boy share a room. They sound like your two-I have one neat and one messy, and you would think they need seperate spaces-but they love sharing a room-they are so different, but blend so well together.
I can't wait to see the pictures-and if you need ideas-let me know-I ADORE doing kid spaces!!! Especially boys!
