So I decided to clean my room this morning. Good idea, bad timing. I should have listened when they said no bending for two maybe three days. But no! Headstrong me had to go and clean. I should done like I planned and stayed my happy ass in bed.
Whatever, I will survive. The room needs to be cleaned, the sheets need to be washed. I shall prevail... just not the stuff on the floor. The girls can do that when they get home.
Today is Olivia's birthday!! Not only does this mean she officially hits Tween (12) it means that I managed to keep her alive for twelve years!
Seriously that's a HUGE accomplishment. There are times when I sit and wonder if I am a eff up of a mom and there are times when I sit back and wonder how my kids are still alive let alone speaking to me because I know I effed up. Like I forgot Kay's birthday this year. Not sure I even said Happy Birthday to her but I forgot it. I sent her a card the other day and she was all happy but dude, if i turned thirteen and my mom forgot my day... oh hell would have bowed down at my fury. Kay handled it in stride.
Liv fairly attacked me for her cards this a.m. I mean that literally. I hid them because I knew one of them had money in it and she fairly attacked me this morning. She walked in my room and began beating the bed. I forgive the hitting of my middle because she was so excited but damn ow.
I have two more gifts to make so I can give them tonight. I actually need to get up from here and get that done. But I need to strip my bed. Hmmm... Jewelry or housework...? I know which one is going to win but I'm prepared to put up a hell of a fight for the other one.
Screw it. Jewelry then bed.
I did manage to fix the dresser drawer that lost its front three years ago. It took epoxy and hot glue but that sumbitch is officially back together and my dresser looks whole again. Kinda like it. It's time to redo my bedroom again. That's always fun. Well fun after its done anyway. I think I'll put that off on a day when I don't have a sharp pain in the exact middle of my body.
Okay, I'm outtie. Think I'll strip the bed first. Yeah... I'll strip the bed first. yeah....
