What a Nightmare!

My new diet calls for a fruit smoothie for lunch. Hm. I don't have a blender. SO. I left this morning after breakfast to get one. My lucky day!

They were on clearance. Gotta love those orange stickers at Target! Feeling good, I stopped by the thrift store on the way home. Score! An old antique chair for $8.

Isn't she a beauty? Yes, the seat is atrocious, but it can be easily re-covered to match a runner. I just need to find the perfect fabric. I am obsessed with this chair!

I think I deserve all of this good fortune. Last night was a rough one. You see, sweet, precious, adorable little baby girl has slept for 11 hours or more every night since Christmas Eve. Hasn't skipped a beat. I have had almost 3 months of full. nights. sleep. Last night broke the streak. Kind of. She was having a tough night- not going to bed, fussy, but fighting the ride to dream land. We decided to feed her a little more and see if that would help. Of course, she fell asleep in my arms mid-feeding. So we did what all parents do. I made K stop everything that was making ANY noise in the house. He had to help me stand up as not to make any sudden movements. I took teeny weeny baby steps all the way across the house and up the stairs. I tried my best to lay her down and flip her over without her waking up. It worked. Then I finally took a breath. Fast forward to 1am and she is SCREAMING in the monitor. I think it's a bad dream and she will go back to sleep in a few...nope. Wrong. So I go get her and bring her in the bed with us. Bad. Move. I do love to snuggle with my little hoot, but geez louise she is a bed hog. So. She played around for a few minutes until I faked being asleep. When she thought everyone was asleep she finally went back to dreamland. Horizontally, of course. And I tried to salvage about 4 inches of the bed to sleep on. Geez. Louise! K made me a pot of coffee this morning and then I set out on my mission.

And that. is why I felt like I deserved this good fortune. Well that's what I get for thinking. I was gone for about a half hour, and came home. to. this:

What. Were. They. Thinking. My word, the dogs destroyed the bottom part of our house! They have never been trash eaters... I wish I had a hidden camera to see how this went down. There was trash EVERYWHERE! Roomba to the rescue! And bad dogs outside for the rest of the day. Boo hiss.

I am painting my dining room chairs today. I haven't posted about it, but I painted my table gray and the chairs yellow. Well..... I went to a show yesterday and bought some totally RAD picture frames and I want them in my dining room. They don't match the chairs, and I haven't been loving the yellow. So I am painting them. Probably a cream to match the curtains and the mirror in there. I'll be sure to show you when I am finished. Hey! Maybe I will remember to take before/after pictures. Wouldn't that be nice.

Tomorrow is going to be SO fun. I am going to Scott's Antique Market. Over 3300 booths! I smell trouble. Anyone want to come with? Right now it's just me and the baby girl. We have to get out of the house while K stains the stairs, so this is my way of killing 6 hours. Or more. This weekend is totally dedicated to house makeovers. Sure wish the sun would shine a little more!

Until Next Time,
