check this off my list.

I bought this old beat up dresser at a yard sale about a year ago.  It has been sitting in my bed room UPSIDE DOWN (because one of the legs was broken).  It has truly been an eye sore, to say the least! So this weekend, I decided to tackle this make-over project.

This is the before:

Yikes...it needed some serious love & sanding, paint and new knobs, of course.

Here is the AFTER:

I absolutely love the shabby chic look of the NEW dresser (that cost less than $50 with all the make-over materials included).

It has become my new favorite piece of furniture!  I can't wait to buy the new lamp I've been eyeing at Target to match the crystal knobs.

Oh, and the flowers sitting on the dresser...why those beautiful hydrangeas came right out of my front yard!  SIMPLY gorgeous!

where's waldo?

My kids have a new obsession. Notice anything strange in this photo?

They have been putting their most valuable possessions (AKA - dog, wookie, big yellow blankie, and teddy bear) in the fridge..."to make them cold."

Ummm, should I worry about this?

private practice

I watch way too much TV. I wish I didn't, but I do.

However, I was really upset by Private Practice last night. That show and Grey's Anatomy are constantly killing people. And, it usually has something to do with a parent dying or a child dying or both.

That is horrible.

I went to bed last night sobbing after watching that ridiculous TV drama.

Seriously, I have enough anxiety issues without being reminded about death and how this will effect my kids and my husband...and what if he dies...and blah, blah, blah. Next, I can't sleep because I am trying to solve all of the "what if's" about death. All because of this stupid TV drama.

I mean, enough already.

I have enough drama, for real, in my life.

I need happy TV shows & happy thoughts!! Maybe I should watch more Sesame Street. That whole neighborhood is so stinkin' happy and they CAN solve ANY problem. How about deadly car accidents, Big Bird? Yeah...and, cure sick babies, Elmo!!

Yikes, I am really bothered by that ridiculous TV show. Honestly, I have nothing against Sesame Street and my boys LOVE Elmo. {feeling guilty, now}

I have to go now.

I need to watch my tivo'd Desperate Housewives and Army Wives episodes while my kids are sleeping.

wordless wednesday.

I love close-ups...

oh, and my sweet Max turned 2!!!

What a BIG BOY!!!

...with donuts on your ears!!!
