What did I get my self into......

  I used to work in a daycare. A friend of ours needed a nanny since she was returning for work. Her son is about 1 week older than Ellie. The kid is great, he doesn't cry much and just kinda entertains himself. My baby, on the other hand, needs to be the center of attention at all times. Today was my 3rd day watching him, and I feel like I am about to pull my hair out. Ellie is not only hard to deal with when he is around but it lasts all day. I never thought I had a needy baby until she had to share her mommy. I feel awful because I am going to have to tell her I cannot continue to watch him, but I know its hard to find child care where we live. Im in a pickle here. Why did i sign up for this to begin with. :/

dog poop disaster

 As if I didn't have enough to do today, my dog kia, decided it would be a perfect time to get explosive diarrhea all over our living room. She is normally so good about letting us know she needs to go out but i guess the poor baby REALLY had to go. So as soon as i discover her little present Ellie starts crying, so Im running back and forth taking care of her and scrubbing the poo out of our carpet. Our NEW carpet. I think I have washed my hands 1500 times.. Oh well its part of being a dog mom! I just hope it doesnt stain

Getting settled, 1 day at a time

We recently bought our home. Although it was in fairly good shape when we moved in there was still ALOT of projects. First we have this disgusting wall paper in all of the bathrooms and kitchen. So I took on the smallest bathroom and it looks GREAT! The color is a purple-ish gray, and I couldn't be happier!

The second project we did was convert our guest bedroom back into a bedroom. We were using it for storage and it was a mess. In order to do that B had to build a shed. It just so happened it was his birthday so HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABE i bought you a shed! It took about 7 hrs to complete but it looks great and matches our house perfectly.

Our next step will be to do some work in the house. I really want to paint the laundry room because most people enter through that room. We will see if I can find the time to do that soon!
