Where's Carla?

Sorry for the lack of posts, but my life has been consumed by deck planning, house painting, migrane fighting, good food eating, church membership obtaining, three job working, scrapbook organizing, garage saleing, movie watching, lots of water drinking, family entertaining, and just busy keeping.

I think some of it is really just trying to stay busy and not think...not that it works. There's something that happens when you are painting a garage door that makes your body go on auto pilot and your brain keeps racing.

However, we really have been busy. We will go into debt with house projects, I'm sure. But, it will be worth it (and we will be able to pay them off quickly) when we have gutters that no longer leak, a tan house instead of a rusty blue one, a beautiful deck, new doors, and a yard that makes sense and is "organized".

I believe half of our time this weekend was spent at Menards. They surely made a mistake when they gave me a credit card there. Surely. (Lowe's made the same mistake!)

And I have every intention of spending all my freetime (in the daylight) in the yard, doing hard manual labor. It's going to be my weight loss plan for the summer. I intend to be sunkissed by the time I'm done as well. So, if you know where I live and drive by, feel free to stop by, but only if you are willing to help! ;)

When it's not feasible to work in the yard, we will be cleaning and finishing up indoor projects. Like mudding the basement walls, Jose will be finishing the under-the-stair shelves in the basement (they are sooo cool!), possibly changing up Isa's mural, building shelving in our closet, remodeling the full size bath upstairs, creating something useful in Teo's closet, painting the play room in the basement, stripping and staining the living room trim and (eventually) painting the living room, etc.

It will never end.......

Oh, and I'm still working and painting and raising kids.
