- The twins have spent the past three days at Miss Jennifer’s so I can get everything ready for the bedroom furniture that is coming this Sunday. From all of her reports, they have been excellent.
- Carson’s aggression and hitting has continued. I think he is frustrated. He has been making huge strides towards more independence (walking with Elmo car) and he has been so proud of himself lately that I think he just gets overwhelmed when he wants something and physically can’t get it. Of course, none of that is clinical, just some mommy observations.
- I spent all of Tuesday painting our master bedroom (which is pretty large and has a sitting area). Then I decided that I absolutely hated the color I picked out. So, I spent all of Wednesday at a large home improvement store looking at more paint. I decided to go the “safe” route and picked something neutral. So then I spent all of Wednesday and Wednesday night (until 1:30 AM) painting on primer to cover the first paint color that I didn’t like. I have spent ALL of today painting on the new color, and it’s still only half done. My hands are throbbing, blisters are forming, and I am pretty sure I have permanently lost some brain cells from three days of breathing in fumes.
- My mom is coming to spend this long holiday weekend with us, and will be arriving on Friday afternoon. I hope she can keep an eye on the twins while I do some much needed housework.
- Summer has arrived in Austin, Texas. We’ve had three days of 100+ degree heat. Ugh. Springtime is getting shorter every year.

I’m pretty much going to opt for a neutral theme through most of my house but with color accent walls.
How in the world can you paint that quickly? It takes me forever to do just a small room. You must be like a professional. Please post pictures when you are done and the furniture is in place.
