End of summer stuff


Ugh. Too many thoughts running through my mind that I just realized are really not worth my time. I tend to feel make myself feel very busy and stressed for absolutely NO reason at all. Type A, I guess. I have some pictures of Ben I wanted to post, but they're on my phone and I can't figure out how to get them off. And I don't have the patience right now to read the instruction manual, so here are some other thoughts.

1.) This week/weekend, I MUST paint a chalkboard wall in my kitchen. I have the supplies, I know where I'm going to paint it, and I think the whole project shouldn't take more than two hours. So why haven't I done it yet?

2.) I think I want to buy this lovely item from Pottery Barn to cover up our couch that I hate. I love it, but it's white. However, it's also an easily removable and washable slipcover. Should I throw caution to the wind? I'm about 97% yes on this question.


3.) Please, somebody, come and take away all of my old junk. I'm begging you. And please convince my husband that he doesn't need 100 t-shirts, and 250 pairs of socks. 

4.) Is anyone else tired of summer? I sure am. 

5.) After much time and energy, I have decided on a completely new furniture layout and decorating scheme for my house. Unfortunately, my vision centers on the purchase of a sectional for our den. Anyone have some money they want to give me? Maybe we could work out a trade involving t-shirts and socks?

6.) I think I'm going to break down and buy Benjamin some new clothes. Yesterday I took him to play with a friend, and realized my son looks like a street urchin. It seems that having his shirts double as bibs wasn't a good idea. I'm going to be honest here, and say that I would much rather buy something new for my house. 

7.) I've been forcing myself to go to bed earlier, which has worked wonders for my tiredness. Who knew? I still feel a little out of it at times, but I'm trying to focus on one thing at a time. It's not easy for me, but it has to be done. I sure wish I had something big to list all my upcoming projects on. Something that would be staring me in the face everyday, so I couldn't procrastinate and would be forced to finish things. Like say, a chalkboard wall? What a great idea!
