#one room at a time

My house is pretty much upside down today. Okay, almost everyday it's upside down. Fine. It's upside down everyday. Like I've been complaining, I'm tired. Well, my body is because I seem like I can keep going, mentally and spiritually. Tonight, for my big alone-without-a-husband-night, I only tackled a quarter of the things I did last night. I'm not gonna lie, I feel bummed because I wanted to do so much more, but its okay.

I only got my laundry loads 1&2 put away, cleared up the misses crib, pinned up a garland, washed about half the dishes, and finished my thank you notes.

Hm, that seems a bit better when I list it all. [:

Now, I'm tucking myself away and calling it a night because my back is begging for my sweet bed.

#be productive

Jesus has been leaving me these last couple of nights due to extra work. Thank you for those sacrificed sleepless nights! Unfortunately, I miss him tons. By the time he leaves David is asleep and I'm just left looking at the walls. I decided to do something...

Night one: I watched Netflix and started some thank you notes
Night two: I cleaned, rearranged, and did some artwork.
Night three, tonight: work on some cards to sell this weekend.

I've felt good knowing that I'm doing something. I won't lie, my body is starting to fail me. I'm not sure what's going on exactly but my chest and back are hurting to simply breathe. Maybe I slept wrong. I definitely don't think this is baby related.

Regardless of how I've been feeling, I took David out on a list of errands with me today so he could let his dad rest (remember, he's been crying for undivided attention, even from people who may be sleeping).

Stop one: the Home Depot; make a set of extra car keys and purchase a keychain
Stop two: Walmart; returns and exchanges. The best thing that happened, I found my breast pump on clearance, the only one, mind you, for $20! Super excited.
Stop three: target; found clothes for the kiddos and bought some necessities, aka toothpaste.
Stop four: michaels; used my awesome 40% discount that was just burning up in my purse waiting to be used.

We missed two more stops due to a tired worn out baby. And mama. I won't lie, that exhausted me. Each stop means a lot to this pregnant swollen body.


Anyway, I did a little garland for the little lady and I must say, I really like it! More pictures soon.

#work

Told you. I'm working. There's some challenges when doing these things since I'm a beginner and don't know many tricks or ways to actually sew but I'll get there.

#being productive

Yes, I am working tonight again. I'm glad to do something even though I'm stumped on how to finish my product...

Happy birthday to my beautiful sister (aka, my cousin Ale!). I hope she continues to celebrate and have a good time(; (it's ok to keep eating)!
I can't physically be with her today but here are flowers and a candle in her honor, xo.

Oh yes, I rescued my sewing machine today and am oh so very relieved.

#almost done

The day isn't fully over& I have this little guy nearly done. I basically finished him up while David napped. Just need to work on the face if I want to of course. (I do)..!

I started sewing something last week and it didn't go as planned. So today, I plan on fixing that and completing something. So glad it's early enough to say this!
