Tackle it Tuesday #14

TTBigButton Just to quench all comments that I am super mom this week!!  LOL!!  I'll start by telling you the things I DIDN'T do today!  For real this time!!

I DIDN'T...

  • finish the laundry.
  • use the vacuum
  • dust anything
  • clean any bathrooms
  • rake any leaves
  • wash any windows
  • etc, etc, etc...

What I DID do is,

  • TAKE A REAL NAP!!!

Yes, yes, you heard it here... I took a nap.  A real, turn off the phones, take off your shoes, pull up the covers, sleep like a rock, drool on your pillow... nap!!

After the nice comments telling me that I deserved one, I thought I would just do it!

Actually, I was extremely tired, not even sure why??

But, it felt really good! 

J & K both napped too!  WHOO HOO!!!

The remainder of the day went like this...

  • kids off to school
  • took camera to post office to mail to repair shop.*
  • ate breakfast with my sil Judy.
  • VOTED
  • Cleaned up kitchen disaster. (including mopping the floor... K was trying to get her own juice.  ;)
  • made lunch
  • read books to J & K.
  • NAP
  • Worked on my cabinets again!!  (see old Tackle it Tuesday posts for details)
  • made dinner
  • drove to get Z at bb practice
  • ate dinner
  • worked on homework with Lucas.
  • put kids to bed.
  • and folded about 5 loads of laundry in the middle of it all.

*My camera is headed to a repair shop, in Connecticut!  It is under warranty with Sony.  I felt like I was shipping my favorite toy off to strangers, not knowing what in the world they will do with it!  I paid for insurance and delivery confirmation... it should be back in 7-10 days... in the mean-time... I have instructed all children to do only boring-non-picture-worthy things...

I worked on sanding the bottom portion of my cabinets.  The tops are done.  The doors and drawers are done.  I just have to do the rest. 

Here is a picture of the progress (not taken today, obviously)

I am painting them, and then trying to give them a distressed look... if you really want to know more, look in the old posts for Tackle it Tuesday, or ask!

So, there you go... at least I did some things on my procrastination list!  The list is dwindling!!  WHOO HOO!!!

So glad you got a nap today.

And, you got a lot accomplished.

Really wished we lived close ... dear hubby is a painter and he would have loved to help you with the kitchen project. Can't wait to see "after" pictures.

Hi! I found your blog a couple weeks ago, I LOVE your Your Gonna Miss This Moment! I want to participate so badly but haven't blogged since August...one of these days I WILL do it though.

I cannot wait to see your finished kitchen!! I have had the paint to do my kitchen since last January and still haven't even started on it yet (can't seem to keep my kitchen clean long enough to get started). I am planning to paint the cabinets a dark red and want them to have a bit of a distressed look around the edges. Can you tell me how you are doing your cabinets? Are you doing the sanding IN the kitchen? How are you doing the distess look?

Thanks!

I can't even tell you how jealous I am. Glad you got one, even if I won't. :-)
