what a long week!

but it was a good one :)

not everything was fabulous, but you need balance in our lives. if bad stuff never happened, then when it does, you wouldn't know how to deal with it. granted though, some things are so bad, that it seems that nothing can help. but let's not worry about the "if" or "when" and focus on the now :D

i have been spending most of this week preparing my work area in the basement to be more organized so that i can be more efficient. plus, it just HAD to be done. that and re-organize and clear out my childhood room.

i took apart my 2 white bookshelves, dusted them off and used some purple fabulouso cleaner(which by the way...ROCKS!) hauled these downstairs and put them back together again in the basement. i'm actually very handy with tools and ikea furniture doesn't scare me! LOL of course my mom helped since dave works in nyc everyday. try doing this with a very curious toddler grabbing everything in sight :P

so i did this and on monday was when i started. however, since i was feeling great, i overdid it. basically i crashed and burned on tuesday, wed., thursday and by friday, i was feeling better. but i wisely waited until today, saturday, after dave's doctor's appointment, to have him help me bring the last shelving unit to the basement.

so now my room's looking better, the basement's still a huge mess, but you can see that organization is happening there. mom and dad have been a huge help too. my goal is to create a peaceful area in the basement where we can all watch some t.v., and i can work as well.

now dave and i can finally create a peaceful area called Our Bedroom, and move one or two dressers in. yes, my white "shabby chic" childhood furniture is still here. those who really know me from grade school and high school, will remember them. i still need to take down my hersehypark and sesame place pendants down from my door. but my unicorn sticker lightswitch plate will remain ;)

i need to find a place for my childhood books that are not ready for a toddler's hands. i have a lot of them. next project, my closet...sigh. i swear i still have my pink gunne sax dress that i wore for my 6th grade graduation in there! LOL

tomorrow i sing at the 8:30AM mass with the adult choir. moday night i am going to my first every Healing Mass. i'm not sure what to expect, but i will go with an open mind :) i'm looking forward to having some peace :)
