Oh what a morning

Good Friday morning to ya ! This morning is one of those mornings that made me want to snuggle just a bit deeper into the covers and go back to sleep . Monday we had a high of 71 and it was beautiful , on Halloween we had a nice 60 something day with the a bit of rain and wind then we turned to cold on Wednesday and today it is so cold out there you could get frostbite in your nether regions . It might be cold but hey , the sun is shining beautifully .

My two youngest kids got up great this morning and got ready , we were actually able to leave a whole five minutes earlier than usual which is something of a miracle around here . After I dropped my son at the elementary school , my daughter gasps loudly and I knew that she had left something at home . "Mom , you have to go back home and bring my binder and math book , if you don't I will get detention" she says . I am thinking a bit of detention might help her remember to pick her books up or her lunch money as she is always forgetting one or the other . On top of this I hear my low gas warning start dinging and realize that not only am I running low but my gas hand is below the red , great this is all I need . I came home and picked up my oldest daughter , stopped by the gas station where I got a nice surprise , gas has dropped $1.99 for regular ,and finally after dropping off the forgotten binder and book I dropped my oldest at the high school . I am now sitting here listening to morning news and chillin' out . I honestly don't know what I would do without my children to cause chaos every morning , sometimes I try to imagine what life would be like without the kids and I am so glad that I don't have to live that because to me it would be an extremely boring life . Of course we all need alone time and all that but I get that while they are at school .

Construction on our home will be starting in the next three to four weeks if not sooner . We got the word yesterday that things could move along a bit faster than expected . Right now all I can say is "build baby build" ! I want out of here so bad I can't stand it . Have I ever mentioned that patience isn't a strong point with me ? Soon I will be sitting down with our painter , which happens to be the Pastor of our church , and try to pick out the colors I want throughout the house . This is going to be a difficult decision for me because I love all colors . I know that I want earthy , soft tones but other than that the exact colors aren't coming to mind yet and who knows what I will end up with . I do know that my 11yr old daughters room will be painted in a very pale , very soft lime green . That is her favorite color and she has some creative ideas for accessories in her room that would blend all of her favorite colors together . My oldest daughter wants solid walls and polka dot accessories and as long as she goes with something soft on the walls then she can accessorize with whatever she wants . My son however , wants his room painted half navy blue , the other half orange . He loves the Dukes of Hazzard but his room will not be those dark colors so he will have to think of something else .If I were to give in ,do the navy and orange then I would be repainting within a couple of months so we aren't going that way . For a while he wanted his walls John Deere green and the trim John Deere yellow which I don't think would be all that but I want light colors throughout the house . Oh well , it will all come together when the time comes .

Y'all have a wonderful weekend . Stay warm and be safe !
