you know, we often feel like we take a step forward and then 2 steps back... however, as of last evening (about a half hour before our small group arrived!) we have a newly painted living room!! yeah!!!!! before i went to work in the morning, ed & i agreed to a sand color for the walls and a deep, burnt red for the fireplace and our "someday" entertainment center... then i got a call from ed saying that he came home with a green color for the walls! anyway, my major fear was that our living room would be "christmas colored" and i wasn't crazy about that. but the shades of both colors are not at all holiday like and they really look nice together. (at least, that's what we think so far!) so, the room is painted and looks so different - it's wonderful! and if we do determine it looks "christmas-y", then we don't have to do as much to decorate in december!! :)
i think our next goal is to complete the dining room. that will be fabulous when we're done with it! now, if we can just keep up our momentum!
other than that, we're just carrying on. we've got a long weekend because the boys don't have school monday, so i'm taking some comp time to be home with them. i like that idea - not working from home, but taking the day off. (sometimes it pays to have to work some weekends!)
