Just Like That.

Two days of December already done. I am going to try to do a lot less scheduling this year and try to have more down time. We are already locked in to regular things; sports, dance, scouts and such. This year I'm going to try to add as little as possible to our December schedule. It just gets too crazy and all I want this month is peace and harmony. Right right, too much to hope for, but a girl's got to hope for something.

We did the most wonderful thing last weekend. After years and years of talking about it we finally painted our bedroom. Tony and I knocked it out last weekend after Thanksgiving and I put some finishing touches on it today. It is glorious! I still need to take the after photo, so I will be sharing that soon. This is my color, it's name is gray timber wolf.

This makes me so happy! The only problem is that I want to spend all my time in there now. Eventually though, someone needs me or I get hungry. My family is going to keep that in check for me I suppose. The bathroom is still on the list but I am motivated now and I think I have a plan so hopefully that won't be long in coming.

We put our tree up this evening and will light it up and decorate her tonight too. Tony dropped Emily off at mass tonight because we left her blank at home this morning so we could get there on time. Sort of a tough love thing I guess. I don't know if it will have it's intended effect, but again, having hope here.

So when they get home, the rest of us will get out of my bed and we'll go do the cheerful holiday tree decorating tradition, and it will be so sweet.
