The Trials of a Busy Mom

Sometimes you just get those urges, you know?

This morning at around 10:00 I got the urge. No, not that kind of urge, you silly. I got the urge to do something, Anything, to change things around and spice up the house. It’s probably because I’ve spent so much time inside, lately. That would be due to the 2 feet of snow and the 21 degree temps outside. We don’t do a lot of outside socializing in the winter. So, cooped up as I am, and not really able to go out and buy anything new, although I have got my eye on some new chairs. Something like this would be nice.

Or these
more chairs

But I don’t really have it in the budget for new furniture, so I decided at 10:00 this morning that I would MOVE around the furniture I have. So, I set about moving the living room couch and loveseat to the family room, and the family room couch and loveseat to the living room. That’s no small feat for one person, but I did it. Well, John helped push a little bit.

And I like it. It’s not a major transformation or anything, and I didn’t have time to put the living room back together right, but it will do for a while. Just to change things up, you know.

This is what I have to do in the dead of winter to keep from going crazy, I guess.

And no sugar. All day. Yea for me.

    I was expecting to see pictures! And moving furniture is how you can throw your back out, I’m sure you know.

    I don’t see how you can possibly go without sugar for a whole day, let alone 40 days.

    Braeden wanted to see what these emoticons are for.

    By the way, congrats on one day with no sugar! I’m still working on drinking all my water for day one.

    Oh, I didn’t throw my back out, but I realize that furniture moving is really a two person job. Hopefully today I can get things organized.

    After no sugar all day, I guess you had to do something with all that new energy!

    Oh yes, I get those urges too. At our house, we actually started a budget category just for those days when I really want to go out & shop for something. The catch is that it has to improve our home in some way, because those little improvements and fulfilling to see working in my life.

    I love the chairs you’ve picked out.
