How is it that I can wake up at 5am almost everyday, not have a nap, and make it through till bedtime without being absolutely miserable for the day?
Hubby gets up on the weekends so I can get an extra hour and a half of sleep than I usually do every Monday to Friday. This helps me recharge my batteries and get through the week. Monday to Friday he wakes up between 7:15am and 7:45am depending on how he feels. On the weekends when I do get up, he goes back to bed. Yep, goes back to bed for a nap, which usually lasts an hour or two. Which means that the rest of our day doesn’t get started until he has had his nap and shower and second breakfast and, and, and….
Despite his nap, he is still grumpy. Yep, grumpy as can be, miserable at times. He keeps telling me he doesn’t like to get up so early. So, I tell him, fine, I will get up then and not sleep in. He will have none of that, because I need the sleep. I am not so sure anymore that I do need the sleep, the payoff isn’t worth it.
He is now in the basement playing hockey with “J”, while “A” still sleeps. Hopefully on his return, he will be a much happier Hubby or I will send him back to bed.
Actually it is about eight years old, but my Mother couldn’t take the worn out fabric anymore so she asked me to make a slipcover. I have made the cushions many times, but never the whole thing. So I set out on a journey. Terribly afraid that it would cost me more to make than my Mom to buy a new one. As I made the first cut in the fabric I started to sweat, by the time I sewed the last stitch, I wasn’t as concerned anymore. And guess what? It fit perfectly! It is a little disheveled from two toddlers jumping on it, but I had to take a photo anyway. will do another more professional one when there is no sunlight streaming in through the back.
So here is the first of many projects I will highlight for you. I already have two more slipcovers on order and am working on a batch of roman blinds. We are off to a busy New Year!!
Poor puppies, they have had enough for sure. All the visiting, all the children chasing them, thinking they are horses. And to top is all the neighbour at the back got their kids a puppy for Christmas! I thought people didn’t do that anymore, knowing their kids may not take care of them properly once Christmas was over. At first we thought he was just chasing a rabbit, now we know it is a tiny little retriever. Which will grow to be very big and just better not bark ;). We now have a dog to our left, a dog kitty corner, a dog behind and a dog in front! They went from being the only pups on the street to two of many. Thankfully (when they don’t go for a run) they are well mannered and don’t really bark too much.
