The last 4 of the cabinets are drying in my basement.
That is right. Tomorrow they will be hung and I will be able to hid the chaos behind pretty Snow Storm White cabinets.
I am so ready for this project to be over. Ready to enjoy. And ready to take some pictures for you guys!
But wait! There is that issue of the yellow table... and my sister's inability to keep red nail polish on her nails and not my table. Might be a weekend project.
But none the less the cabinets and the pain in the ass part of the project is over! Whoot Whoot!
Stay tuned!
I haven't decided yet if I will use this blog for good or evil, maybe a little of both...but I am sure it will have stories that I might embellish a bit...household adventures that my husband and I wrongly think we can undertake and few rants about my husband planning to name our new baby Guillermo...sigh.

Drunken Genius-ness
So my sister in her drunken genius-ness told me something along the lines of "This is not going to be your life in 5 years, this is just a moment" I am not sure if it was that well said, or if in my own drunkenness I made her sound that intelligent... but it stuck with me.
I am at a point in my life that I am completely overwhelmed, completely underwater and completely ready to throw in the towel. I am exhausted. Phew.
But in all honesty, I hadn't taken a step back and looked at it that way at all. God. She had a point.
So, now I am at the point where I have to decide what I am going to do, what I am going to put up with, what I can change and what I can't and where that leaves me.
Too much pressure! So we went to the Children's Museum today instead of making tough life decisions. And Emily and Eli had their faces painted, Aunt Ellie had a great time too I think.
And on our way home we decided to stop by Anthropologie to check out the knobs again for my kitchen. Thank goodness I did! Found the ones for me!
And as I am trying to scour their website for an image to show you guys ... it is not there... which makes me completely anxious, cause I need like 15 more, and this was going to be a slow going process of buying 2 at a time so it didn't hurt the pocket book all at once... but Karma has got to start swinging my way right?!?!?!?
Anywho... we bought two knobs and I am in love.
And then I swung into Menards to grab some more enamel paint to finish the rest of the cabinet doors (only 4 left) and the left over to do a desk and windowsill. The win there was that I introduced Ellie to the mis-tint paint area and we scored the exact color she wanted to paint her room for $5 a gallon! Whoot Whoot!
I will be back to Mendards sometime soon for some Jackson Square yellow enamel paint due to my sister ruining my yellow kitchen table with bright red nail polish which bubbled up the paint and it pealed up to the primer. Yeah. I am telling you life owes me right now, but I handled it well and didn't make it a big deal since she had watched my kids all day - a long all day - 7 am to 7:30 pm.
So all in all things are sucking right now and so I am using all my creative energy to block it out and make my life at least look pretty - fake it till you make it right? Painting is therapeutic right?
All in all I have a few things to figure out. And this is just a moment right?
I really hope my drunk sister is right.
