Hello everyone :) Sorry I missed posting last night, but this weekend has had a million twist and turns. As we all know plans don't always work the way you want them to! So here is how the story goes...
Friday night, I came home from work and started on my bedroom furniture. It was around 11:00 when I came in the house. Then I had to start working on the Thanksgiving meal grocery list. Has anyone else noticed how much more Thanksgiving dinner will cost this year? So I checked between 3 different stores to try to find the best deals on everything I needed. Either way, at 2:00 I just couldn't continue. I was so tired so I went to bed and planned to get up early the next day.
:::side bar::: I am big on making plans and sticking to them. I like to make a schedule for getting things done and I had my plan for my day Saturday. My plan was to get up around 6:00 am, finish my grocery list and clip my coupons and go grocery shopping early before everyone hit the stores. I also had to go to the bank and go pick up some supplies from Lowes, stop by Target, and then to Ace to get the paint for the bedroom suite (so a LOT of errands). I wanted to be home early so I could finish sanding where I had primed my bedroom suite the night before so we would be sure to be able to paint today.
BUT...this is how my Saturday actually turned out.
Didn't wake up until 9:00 am (guess that's because I went to bed at 2 am) So that made me ill. I started working on finishing my list and clipping my coupons. Then it was 11:00 and Mark called me and asked me to go give the hunting dogs some water. I go to the pin and pour the water in the bucket and the dogs jump and knock it over....of course all over me so now both my legs are soaking wet. I haul another bucket of water and yell and scream at the dogs to get away. Whew, they have water so as I was walking back to the house what do I see??? My husband coming down the path from eating lunch with our neighbor. I was SOOO mad... 1 because he could have stopped and gave the dogs water and 2 because I had made his lunch for hunting the day before. But before all this my Direct TV box had stopped working and I had figured it was broke AGAIN. So all these things sent me over the edge...BIG TIME! I was mad that I had to go change clothes it's almost 1:00 and I haven't even made it out of the house, and my freaking Direct TV box is broke for the second time in 6 months. I lost all my shows I had recordeded (I usually watch them on Sunday) and no TV in my room which means I have to go to the bedroom to watch TV. I know to most people this don't seem like a big deal, but to a person like myself who is OCD and had a plan this sent me into a melt down. I called my husband was a total _____ to him. And no it wasn't just him who made me mad, it was all the things that had happened at once and I just used him as my punching bag. After I fussed at him I went and sat in the floor and started crying (yes I know you probably think I am psycho) I was having a pity party for myself. Then Mark walks in the door and was like...April what is wrong with you? Then I started crying even more and explaining all the problems my day had encounted. He just thought I was crazy. He tells me all the time I need to just let stuff go and not try to plan everything ( I can't help it)
Crying makes me feel better... So finally I got myself together and left about 3:00. I didn't get home until 6:00. I unloaded my car and then to work on my furniture. Yeah...so that was my Saturday :( I got my furniture done, and a few folks stopped by to hang out for a bit. I wasn't much in the mood given my day, but I guess Mark wanted to hang out since he has a basket case for a wife (LOL). Then I had herd on the news that they were going to replay Revenge at 2:00 am since it was over shadowed by Tornado coverage the other night. So I stayed up until 2:00...no Revenge I actually stayed up until 3 but it never came on. Then I figured out why this morning. They said 2 am Saturday and I was trying to watch it at 2 am on Sunday...good job April (real smart)
I got up this morning around 10:00, Mark had cooked me breakfast (he loves me) and brought me breakfast and coffee in bed. Then off to Wal Mart with Mom. We planned to spray the furniture today, but it was extremely windy. Mark said we could paint it in the shop...very nice on his part because he is curious over his shop. So his dad came over and they started spraying the furniture. Lets just say it looked pretty decent. It still wasn't dry this evening so it's hard to really tell. I must say that is the way to go, they got 3 coats on paint on the furniture in about 2 hours. It would have taken me about 2 days if I painted it by hand. So I will check it out tomorrow and let you know how it turned out.
This evening I got the bags of stuff ready for Goodwill. We have a dentist appointment in the morning, but I hope to get a chance to get this stuff over to Goodwill and out of my house. Plus I need to get it out before Mark decides to try to take stuff out of the bags.
This is my stuff that is ready to go. It will probably be more, but this it all I have ready now. It's in the way so I need to go ahead and get it out.
Other than all that, I worked on our closest a bit tonight. It is still a mess and no where near organized. I am off all week and I have ton's of stuff to do. Me and my projects really make life stressful. I had a long list of stuff to work on this week, but I know it is not realistic. My main goal is to get the closet done, and get the other furniture sanded primed and maybe painted by the weekend. I really don't know if I will be able to finish that stuff. I guess we will see.
Goodnight everyone and hopefully I will have some furniture pictures for you tomorrow :)
