Watching others work is a lot of work!
It’s been wood floor guys, crazy outside house painty guys, and our talented family (Rex, Paulie, Beth and Boyfriend Matt) armed with scrapers, sprayers, rollers, and a mess of paint this week to get Casa Armijo shiny and happy for our new arrival. Not to mention the REA Daddy going nonstop, from the previously mentioned John Lennon nursery border and coordinating paint search, to the ceiling scrape, to the great junk exodus to the garage, including but not limited to the complete dismantle of our closet organizer!! Baby Ryan is a lucky ducky!
I now feel like I live in the prettiest of the Ikea showroooms. sigh. It really makes the heart happy, although it took me all day yesterday to recover. I don’t think I left my new-to-us craigslist IKEA king bed but 4 times (for meals of course) I was pooped from watching everyone work =)
And we’re back to the 3 am wakeup calls as Master Ryan is feeling a bit peckish… We’ve been drinking juice and munching cookies, like a pre-school snack, and contemplating the pretty pretty house and sneaking a few decorating/cleaning binges in.
The best part of all of this? Knowing again, how blessed we are to have fantastic friends who keep calling cuz they know I have dialing issues, and family who instead of saying hello, start every conversation with “How much water have you had??” That’s love.
So thanks folks. Couldn’t do it without you, am more grateful than you know, and have 1.5 liters of H2O under my belt =)
But I am like an olive tree flourishing in the house of God; I trust in God’s unfailing love for ever and ever. ~Psalm 52:8
