You know.... I really hate LJ ads that wont let you type till they are done or the little 'X' finally shows up....
I would like to just say that I am happy. Content. Satisfied with life.
I was thinking today, I have a wonderful husband who loves me and isnt afraid to show it. I have two wonderful children who are healthy, bright, well behaved and happy. I have a home that is wonderful (at times looks like a tornado hit it) but is *HOME* to us.... and I have a wonderful job. Dammit, I am H*A*P*P*Y!
My husband and I have been working together to get his office area fixed up, a coat of paint, putting together shelves and just basically working together....and its been hard work and I am sore- but my heart is content. I love spending time with him and love working together with him and fixing up the office has been truly a (trying) labor of love.
We are having painters come out this week to do the living room....and with 17 foot high ceilings-there is no way in hell im trying to paint that on my own. We have just about everything crammed into the office and front dining room area ....but come Saturday? We can start to put our home back together again and I am so darn thrilled that the living room is finally getting painted something/anything other than white. Its going to be a lovely warm tan color with a contrasting wall of a slightly deeper shade of tan..... I am really pleased with it and cant wait to see it!
The house is really shaping up.... its beautiful. The plants outside are really filling in and looking settled instead of 'just planted'- the yard looks wonderful. The fountain I had, I filled it with some miracle grow dirt and some cascading succulents and it looks beautiful. My bleeding hearts came back again this year with a vengenance and I went and bought some more for the forest floor! LOL! The house is really becoming "ours" instead of 'builder grade white paint, builder grade fixtures' etc...... I eventually want to put in knobs in the kitchen cabinets and later on? I would like to paint the kids rooms and finish painting our bathroom.
I *thoroughly* enjoy making the house a HOME... <3
Both the kids are doing good in school- both are getting along pretty good, both have friends, both are active at school (band & choir) and both are sooooo glad the summer is almost here! LOL! Typical kids. :)
My job is truly wonderful- this new position in the da'bomb! OMG! I go in, drink my coffee and do my paperwork, I grab the phones, followup on paperwork,etc..... no customer service. I love it. I can honestly say that I was run ragged by the other position... honestly. I am not so stressed out all the time and I am feeling much more relaxed- I feel like I can /breathe/..... I swear, I dont know how I did it- I see my coworkers racing around and sometimes think 'oh I should go help' but I dont- I dont want to be blamed for screwups and I dont want them to count on/expect me to help when I dont have time to sometimes (this has happened already in my new position and I had to nip it in the bud)... when I can help, I do but knowing that I dont have to do that anymore is such a relief. I literally THANKED MY BOSS for picking me for the position again the other day.... LOL
I am happy. :-)
