Chugging Along

I still feel stupid. I'm still trying to figure out the Mac. I knew it would be different, but geez, am I that behind? I guess so. The playroom is slowly coming along, my 2 day challenge I found was just not going to happen. Getting rid of the desk proved to be a much bigger challenge than I originally thought. All the papers, all the piles, all the shredding. It's a good thing I just bought a new shredder, because I'm pretty sure that if my old one was still kicking, it would have kicked the bucket.

I did get all the books moved into the sitting area, that wasn't such a challenge and I really can't wait to see that space finished. There's still a huge pile of toys in the corner, due only to the fact that the desk is a monster. So when I started in on the papers, I was excited to realize I have a large file cabinet in the garage that I can finally utilize. Then I opened it up. My honest first thought? Is it too early for wine? It's full of more papers. Ugh.

Then I ran into another problem along the way. What do I do with all the little things that have piled up, that aren't trash or junk, but not really needed, but if you get rid of it, you'll find yourself in need. I literally have shoe boxes full of stuff with labels that read "Just another box full of shit that is neither garbage or really needed." I must have been in a bad mood that day. But hey, guess what? I now have a laundry folding table! Yay!

I haven't been really cooking a lot lately. Mark has been sleeping pretty late so we haven't been on our "normal" schedule. A lot of salads, healthy sandwiches, a pot of spaghetti. I am making a Co-Op trip tomorrow so I will pick up some super yummy apples n' things.

Miss Bel has been really challenging lately. She has thrown the worst tantrums, it's awful! She's changed her daytime sleeping habits, so she's missed out on some adventures. Will this child give me the dreaded "terrible two's" stage? Mia did not, so this will be different and I'm not looking forward to it. Another parent challenge - I took Mia for her first ever hair cut the other day. It was hard to get her to hold still, and she wasn't too sure about this strange lady washing her hair in a weird sink. But it has layers and is very cute, and full of body. I kept some clippings for her baby book. I must have heard at least 50 comments on her hair color by the time we stepped out of there. The lady doing her hair spent like 10 minutes just looking at all the reds in amazement that I wasn't secretly dying her hair at home. Really? She's 4!

Things added to my to do list: 1. Find a chalk board I can put low on the wall for the girls to draw randomly all over in the playroom. 2. Find a nice comfy, one person chair that can be lounged around in. 3. Figure out why the "magical" mighty mouse doesn't want to copy and paste.
