what a day...!

Hi Girls!  I've actually had a great day, but I'm coming off of a busy weekend and I feel like I've been going non-stop!  If it isn't work and taking care of mundane housewifely things, it's ministry (I think we've had people over 5 out of 7 days this past week).


So my big accomplishment of the day was tackling our bedroom closet.  I went to WalMart and got some closet/under the bed storage containers to get things organized.  I threw out a lot of stuff and got rid of some clothes.  It may not look so amazing, but it is SO much less crammed, and I got our drum set which was sitting out in our bedroom tucked away in there too.  

Now...I still have a lot more to do in the bedroom.  When my sister moved out, we kind of quickly shuffled a lot of stuff from one room to the other, and a lot of it got thrown in the bedroom.  I absolutely hate having a messy bedroom.  I want to be able to just relax when I go to bed, and I hardly want to be in our bedroom these days.  So, I'm posting a picture of the three areas left to clean as motivation to get it done.  oh so embarrassing...

Oh and this is a very low quality picture of me ridiculously excited about my new full-length mirror that I finally bought today (for the past 8 months I've had to stand on the couch to look in the mirror over the mantle if I want to see how I look head to toe.  I only noticed that this was a problem last Sunday, when I noticed in the car I was wearing blue tights instead of the black ones I thought I grabbed...)

And here is Shea sometime last week while eating:

I definitely need to post a picture of him in his spiderman costume and of his new hair cut!

Here are some other things I did today:

• Made lunch for my hubby TWO days in a row
• Ok this might sound really arrogant, but I had an awesome hair-day (and it was even better because I took a shower and decided to not do anything to my hair but put some mousse and other hair product in it.  I usually straighten it, but I absolutely loved it curly today)
• did the dishes
• mailed a package I've been meaning to send out for 2 weeks
• talked to Amber on my way home from work, which was so much fun!
• Went thrift store shopping with Shea and found him a really cute rain jacket for only 2 bucks!

Other than having a fairly hectic day at work (but I have the most fun job, so its never that bad) and dealing with a fussy tired baby most of the day, I had a great day!

Thanks for sharing in my day :)
