I got ahead of myself....again! Just as I began to think that the cold, wet days were behind us, I am reminded by my dear friends at weather.com that I am painfully wrong! A 60% chance of rain is due to set in by about 6:00. Mother Nature has perfect timing. Nicholas has Open House tonight so the parking lot at his school will be packed to the brim with all of the parents complete with their infinate wisdom and complete lack of regard for what I fondly refer to as "parking lot etiquette". If I have a black eye tomorrow, a safe assumption would be that I had an encounter with one of the many morons.
On a happier note, if there is rain, there are no baseball games, which means no board duty for me!!! Yee haw!!! A night at home, what am I going to do with myself????
Laundry. It is a daunting task that plagues my life daily. There are very brief moments of triumph where all of the laundry is complete, including folded and put away. Those brief moments last for all of about an hour, then, life occurs in the form of a spill or Megan having a meltdown over having "nothing" to wear and everything she tries on ends up in the laundry. So, perhaps I will get lucky tonight. If I finish laundry at about 11:00PM and go straight to bed, that will be about 6 hours that I can revel in being caught up! I know, I know, I will not be exactly conscious, but hey, I will take my little triumphs however I can get them!

My First of What I Hope Will Be Many.......
Well, here it is. The first entry of the blog I have been saying I was going to write for well over a year. So here I sit, pondering....."What should my first enrty be?" It has to be interesting, captivating and of course drenched with my sarcastic wit and humor....otherwise, you may mistake it for being written by someone else! Pat says I should write about my kitchen.......ok, why not?
I've been wanting to redo my kitchen for quite some time. I decided at the beginning of the week that I needed to spend some much needed time and attention on what I see as my neglected home. To the normal person, it looks fine, I am sure. Sure, it has resembles very busy lives, but also a warm resting place and a soft place to fall (partly because I love pillows and recently went through this fleece blanket making phase). However, to me it resembled a chaotic mess and just sort of yuck. This feeling I think has festered from the simple fact that I have not repainted a room in over two years. Anyways, I began the week with very ambitious plans. I was starting with the kitchen. I was changing the color to red or sage, tiling the countertops, putting wainscoting up and redoing the cabinets, all within 48 hours. Really? Seroiusly? Had I lost my mind? Apparently so.
As the week drug on, reality set in. There was no way even a fraction of that was going to happen. In fact, the only way there would be a remote possibility of it coming to pass is if Ty Pennington himself showed up at my door in all his hunkness saying "Welcome home Kelly Durkee. Welcome home." Ok, I've got to get bactk to keeping it real. Because, lets face it, that is never going to happen! The color stayed the same. I decided to stick to my New Year's resolution of using what I have before I buy new. I just put a fresh coat of paint on the walls. So far, 3 of the 4 are done. Throughout the week I'll work on it, one wall at a time. If I do it any other way, I get totally overwhelmed and shut down. Seriously.
Ideally, I will post photos by the end of the week.....of the FINISHED project!! Keep your finger's crossed! I know I am!
Until I blog again,
Kelly :)
