Day Two..

Today is a super late starter. I spent the morning and early afternoon in Grand Rapids attending a meeting. So onto today. First things first.

• Coffee and blog (Hey, I'm keepin' it real here folks.)
• Second coat of paint on the bed.
• Finish the overall tidy. It didn't all come to fruition yesterday. I got hung up on the toddler's room.
• If I manage to get ALL THINGS picked up on the main floors (master bedroom included) I will then head down to the old basement. There I will remedy the distressed tote situation.

 These are my only goals for today. I will not give myself a list that I don't think I can complete. I can do this much today. I will employ the minions in their strong areas and attempt to multitask by flipping laundry throughout. I will not hold myself responsible for the folding nor putting-away of said clean clothes.

And how's this for keeping it real: More pics.

This was yesterday's time-suck.

Hey, those sheets are CLEAN baby. And thar be the wee-beast.

This series of bedroom pics brings a thought to mind that I want to share. Tis the point of blogging, no? Okay, so you know how you find a picture of a haircut and you totally love it? So you take it to your hairdresser and she cuts and styles your hair, and a day later it just doesn't look that way? And it never looks as perfect as the models? Well think about it. Their hair looks like that for the SPLIT SECOND the photo is being taken. They might have sneezed and dunked their face in a milkshake a second later, but that's not in the picture. You have no clue! The same goes for those glorious homes in magazines. You don't see IN their closets, IN their cuppoards, or any other hidey hole. Their kids trash their living rooms too. So lighten up on yourself.

End rant.

Oh, and I had the girls try on their Easter Dresses. I bought them in November. Then they grew. Crap.

Note the massive mess in the livingroom through the doorway. See? We all fall short. Imma be in attack mode today.

And so we're off. It's now 4:02 pm. Let's see what I can pull off in the next four hours.
