"If you don't see the book on the shelf, write it." ~ Beverly Cleary
I kid you not, we went to bed last night at 8 o’clock.
It was just that kind of day.
People joke that not being able to sleep is Mother Nature’s way of preparing us for having a baby.
I say we need our sleep now.
So, we went to bed at 8 o’clock and snoozed the night through.
Don’t judge, we woke up rested.
Did you?
I was recently at my parent’s house and noticed that there was a new rock wall planter in an area that they’ve been improving. I commented that I really liked it and it seemed to go perfectly with what they are planning to do. My dad responded by looking at the planter and saying, “Oh, I did that yesterday.”
Right, yesterday.
I thought to myself what I had accomplished the day before – I mean, certainly my body was busy growing fingernails and eyeballs for HBaby – but in no way was I out building gigantic planters. Jeesh.
Either way, today I am determined to do something that by tomorrow I can look back on today and feel a total sense of accomplishment.
While the Miller Men went to enjoy the Chilly Hilly, Darcy and I decided to get crafty and drown ourselves in Mod Podge. Both of us were in uncharted waters in terms of the steps needed to take to create the final product.
We were covering the letters of HBaby’s name and it wasn’t until we got to the final letter that we discovered the most efficient way to add the modge podge without impending disaster or bumpy, choppy edges.
By the time Barry and Brian made it home – after both completing the 33 mile Chilly Hilly(!) – we were ready to show them the completed project. I’m certain that Martha Stewart isn’t going to be calling anytime soon (Sorry, Darcy) but it was fun to do and I’m really excited about how the letters turned out.
