Mind Games

SleepingWhy is it that I can never sleep in on a Saturday??

Every week day the alarm goes off at 5 am.  I’m always so tired that I just hit snooze and go right back to sleep until I am rudely awakened 7 minutes later.  This week, with the new allergy medicine making me so tired, I did this sometimes several times per day.  Finally I would force myself to get up, go downstairs, and get on the computer until my brain was alive enough to make myself toast for breakfast.  So, I was really looking forward to today for catching up on some much needed sleep.

However, today I was wide awake at 4:50!  NO!!  I stayed in bed for quite a while telling myself “Go back to sleep, go back to sleep.”  No luck.  I was up baking muffins for breakfast and making plans for the day.  If only my mind would work with me instead of against me.

Flash Me Friday: Garage

Filed Under: Flash Me Friday 1 Comment

This week’s Flash Me Friday is your garage.  You can join the Flash Me Friday fun too, check out The Groettum Family blog and join in.  Come on, you know you want to be nosy too!

Our garageHere is what our garage looks like.  This is good timing for garage pictures because it wasn’t this organized a couple weeks ago.  It’s never really at the top of the priority list when it comes to cleaning up, however when I can no longer get from my car to the door without tripping over stuff, thats a problem.

We were so excited to finally have a garage.  What we didn’t realize is how quickly we would fill it with all our junk.  Apparently we need all this stuff because I carefully went through everything before we moved in here, but I really couldn’t tell you what is inside most these boxes.  The only ones I know for sure is that the Christmas decorations are in the two big containers in the front.

The back corner is where we keep all the tools and other car stuff.  Also, the garage is where Jesse is “allowed” to hang his man posters.  He thought the car one would be nice enough for the house… not so much. :)

Aren’t you just SO impressed with our shelving skills?  That was one of our first improvement project because, as you can see, we needed the storage space.  Jesse worked hard getting all of those hung, and it’s my favorite part of the garage.  I love how neat it looks when I pull in.

Mckmama- Not Me Monday

Welcome to Not Me Monday!  This blog carnival was created by MckMama. You can head over to her blog to read what she and everyone else has NOT been doing this week.

First of all, there is NO way that I have been suffering from the worst allergies I have ever had.  I would NEVER wait for weeks or months to finally go back to the doctor to get some new allergy medication.  I would NOT only be convinced to go to the doctor just because none of the over the counter allergy medicines are working anymore, nope NOT me!

I would NOT be so happy to have just a little relief, even though the medicines make me so tired.  I would NOT have gone to work on Friday with the medicine making me so tired that I couldn’t concentrate on anything all day.  I would NOT have continued to be so tired from the medicine that we didn’t really get to do anything fun all weekend.  We surely did NOT stay in our pajamas watching TV almost all day on Saturday.  And NEVER would I wake up on Sunday and have to skip church to take a nap.  I definitely would NOT have then complained to my husband about not getting to do anything fun this weekend, nope NOT me!

There is also NO way that I have still not chosen pictures to fill the empty picture frames in the hallway.  I would NEVER insist that Jesse had to put up the frames a couple weeks ago, just so that they could still be empty.  And I did NOT insist that we finally had to pick a paint color for the downstairs bathroom.  We did NOT drive all the way to pick out paint chips that day.  There are NOT still paint chips scattered around the bathroom floor.  I would NEVER get distracted from my project and decide I wasn’t all that interested in painting right now, nope NOT me!
