SO MUCH TO DO; SO LITTLE TIME

only me would tackle so many projects in such a small time frame. little did i know when i decided to paint the dining room and redo the guest bathroom 6 days before mikey's bday party, that there would be so many problems and setbacks. but we are almost done. i just need to put the wall protector thing along the bottom of the bathroom walls, hang up pics, the new light, and accessorize. right now mike is putting up yet another friggin' coat of paint and yes, in a slightly different color than the second one (which was a slightly different color than the first. which followed a coat of primer). i know i am happy with the warm color and it is going to look so good with the framed french chefs i have.

then after i finally get those tasks complete, it is on to the finishing details of mikey's bday party. thank goodness i decided to take a half a day off on friday and luckily i have everything else bought.

oh, and lemme fill ya in on my latest *adventure*. about two weeks ago, while mike was redoing the kitchen floor, a piece of glass must have stirred up from the time that i put a pyrex bowl on the stovetop not thinking and it exploded all over the place (someone must have been watching us that day, b/c me and mikey were in my bathroom and mike and bella were in bella's room changing diapers). so i stepped on this piece of glass and my foot started to bleed. once the bleeding stopped, i had mike get the glass out. so i figure he gets it out, however, i am still walking around with a limp. after a couple of days, i feel fine. a couple of days later, i don't feel fine. i ask mike about it and he takes a look. he says that he doesn't see anything there, but he is concerned about the brown spot on the bottom of my foot. i tell him that is where the glass is, he says that is not where he pulled something from my foot the other day . so he starts to tell me that i need to go to urgicare (clinic) and i refuse. i figure if people can walk around with bullets in them with no problems, i should be able to survive a small shiver of glass. so anyway, yesterday afternoon it starts to hurt really, really bad. the area on the bottom of my foot is red, and it is raised. i can feel something in there. finally mike convinces me to go to urgicare. so i am already annoyed that i have to miss some work (can you believe it, it is only b/c i had a ton to do on my lunch break). i get down there, have to get a tetnes (sp?) shot and three xrays only to be told that there is nothing in my foot and it is just infected. so now i am really annoyed. so i have to soak my foot in warm water three times a day (yeah right...i guess i am supposed to do some kind of gymnastic move to get my foot in the bathroom sink at work) and take an antibiotic. ugh!

what a day. if you have made it this far ((((((hugs))))))
