yeah, mm hm.

Neither Spencer nor Kate attended school today. Coughing. It was great this morning, I got tons done not having to get them ready for school, and lunches made and all of that busyness. Instead, did this:

• started laundry
• had a slow-paced sit-down breakfast with Weston and Kate
• read a chapter in the scriptures and had family prayer
• feed and let chickens out
• ground wheat
• made butter
• started bread (which is now making my house smell most appetizing)

all by 8:16 a. m. I felt like superwoman for a bit there.

Now I'm tired. I stayed up too late last night trying to get stuff organized. I am on a mission to get moved in (finally, after 6 months!) and organized! and at least get in the beginnings of decorated!

My trek to town on Saturday was...well, I:

1. found it most tiring - almost 4 of the 7 1/2 hours were spent in the car driving or taking care of Jiles
2. didn't find fabric that I loved - I may just go with the online fabric shopping
3. was SURE that I was going to get Classic Gray paint from Benjamin Moore but I just didn't feel it when I saw it at the paint store - it was too greige-y, so I didn't get any.
4. just couldn't say NO to that thrift store next to the paint store.
5. bought these at that thrift store: kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
6. hit Home Depot and got red silky-looking polyester curtains for $16/panel marked down from $50/panel. Living room? Master bedroom? Not sure yet.

P.S. Why do I feel like I must find a color and paint our main living area before I can do anything else? Ridiculous, I know.
