- am debating painting a wall in the boys' room. & possibly all of emmie's room as well. her room is already painted a light shade of brown, with a darker brown zebra print painted border in the middle of the wall, left over from the weird people we bought the house from. (it's not as hideous as it sounds, & could even be cute, but it's just not very fun for a little girl's room.) i know if i push the issue, N will charge thru it all in a weekend (he's like that with home improvement stuff), but i'm thinking i may wait til after the holidays.
- my brother is supposed to come visit next week. this is cool, bc he is super fun & i'd love to see him & have the kids meet him. (he's seen the boys twice & never met em. he just doesn't come home ever & i don't want to take the babies to stay at his apartment with his evil ex-girlfriend, so visits are sporadic at best.) this is also not cool, bc the prospect of seeing her baby boy makes my mom go temporarily insane. until he is back in illinois, life will revolve around him & she somehow always seems a bit miffed that the rest of us (me, my dad, N) aren't similarly enraptured. don't get me wrong, i love the guy & i'll be glad to see him, i'm just not looking forward to the daily rehashings of everything he says, ate, wore & looked at. no, i'm not bitter. why do you ask? :P
- & speaking of visitors, N's folks are coming down for the day sometime the week after christmas. (heaves sigh.) i don't know why, but they just aren't comfortable people, & no matter what we do in an effort to make them comfortable it's never enough. so i've given up & now just do what i'd do for any other visitor, & N has decided to throw money (or at least expensive gifts) at them. i guess the theory is they'll appreciate the expense if not the effort? who knows.
- i am going to finish binding this blanket (yes, it's still the same blanket i already blogged about) before i start my new project. which i am much more excited about. have i mentioned how lame binding is? bc it's pretty lame. the thing is, it's not hard & it goes pretty quick once i'm started. i just have some sort of mental block when it comes to finishing edges. i may have to invest in a cheap sewing machine, just so i can quit binding by hand.
- em is still taking about 3 hours to go down for the night. i remember the boys going through this too, & it lasted for months. luckily i seem to be learning to function well with much less sleep however, & my anti-CIO policy remains firm.
