What I've been up to.

Let's go all the way back to Sunday... All the accomplishments from the day before were still fresh and I woke up ready to tackle anything and everything.  We started by hanging my shelf in my studio and this set the tone for the remainder of the day <3  Vince took Bella to the Nature Museum in the early afternoon, and I took the opportunity to "clean" Bella's room.  I got rid of a lot of toys that haven't been so much as looked at in a year, but I have a feeling that when it's discovered they're gone then there may be hell to pay.  I'll take it though because it needed to happen.  I also tackled our closet, both dressers, Bella's closet and her dressers as well.  My trunk is overflowing with a Goodwill donation that will be taking place today.  The house just feels lighter, and I like it :)

Now onto Monday... After getting Bella to school, I came home and made a baby sling for Liz.  Little Ethan Oswald will be here mid to late July, and it will be here before we know it!  Poor Liz though... She and her husband are doing nothing but fighting, divorce is being discussed again, and she admits that she had no business getting pregnant with number 3 but what's done is done, and there is no turning back now.  I really do feel for her, she is having a really tough time, and her husband is a super duper asshole, and being pregnant on top of all that plus dealing with the two kiddos they already have... disaster.  I found all this out after school because we stopped by to deliver the sling and let the girls play for a bit.  Good thing, because girlfriend needed to talk.  We stopped at Target on the way home for milk and bread.  There isn't really a grocery story on the way home, Target is the most convenient, but it's not enjoyable to stop there with the kiddo anymore because it's a big game of I want that/No not today, and it doesn't matter what section of the store we are in, she can find something that she desperately needs.  I have no problem saying no, it's just annoying and I wasn't feeling super patient.  When we got back in the car to head home, I notice that she has a fluffy little chick in her hand.  When I asked her where it came from, she immediately dropped it in her backpack while saying, "I don't know."  I thought she may have swiped it from Target, but turns out she took it from a counting work at school.  When asked if she was supposed to have it, she said no, and the talk about stealing, what that is and why we don't do it commenced.  She had to write a note when she got home apologizing, explaining what she did and why she won't do it again.  She has a tendency to pocket small/cute/shiny things that aren't hers, but usually it has all been stuff from Allie.  Had to nip this branching out thing in the butt immediately!  Once home, it was bath/dinner/read/brush teeth/bed time.  Before Vince got home from teaching, I had cut out and sewn together, minus the strap, a messenger bag for Liz to complement her sling.  I feel like she needs a little happy.  It really turned out great, and I am really loving my studio!  I also like that we all call it something different.. Me - The Green Studio  V - The Grudio  B - The Green Girls Studio  :)

As for today, I already added the strap to Liz's bag, and I'm going to go for a little run when I finish up this post.  I got my confirmation for the Peachtree Road Race with Katie, Vince's sister, on 4th of July weekend!  It's a 10K so I need to start a running regimen in order for this to happen.

Well, It's a beautiful sunny day today, a nice break from all the rain, so I need to get out there and enjoy it because it's supposed to start raining again tomorrow.
