Have had a couple of good days, not that I have a habit of having bad ones, but when things pan out, we're all happier. With the painting I did yesterday, that good feeling transferred over to today. This morning, two of the boys washed the kitchen ceiling---one of them tall enough to not need a chair (!) and with the fresh-looking cabinets, my goodness, the kitchen shines. And this afternoon, I put a coat of lavender enamel on the girls' bedroom door---it formerly being covered with stickers and nonsense. Krud Kutter took off the stickers, and I'm thinking we're on a roll.
Little by little things are getting tidied up, paint being the main problem solver.
Plus, and this is a biggie, my husband's work has been steady. I'm trying to keep my head in the right place, to stay faithful and not get either too comfortable, or cocky. Complacency has no place in my head right now, and things can get tight too easily. This Winter has been tough financially, and to feel just a smattering of relief is a joy.
Stew for dinner with tiny little pearl onions in it (my splurge purchase at the store)....with baking powder drop biscuits. One son just finished making chocolate chip cookies and the rest of the afternoon will be made up putting my sheets back on the bed after hanging on the line all day, and of cleaning the place a bit.
Enjoy what's left of it!
