You know you might be tired. . .

... when you

  • fall asleep in primary, as a teacher, in the front row. Then while asleep hear the lady doing sharing time ask all the moms to raise their hands. So you raise your hand and wake up, only to realize she was talking about the 5 year old girl, who was playing a mom in her sharing time activity.
  • go up to the pulpit to say a prayer, and once you get back to the pew you see that you have a button on your blouse undone and your skirt zipper is also not zipped up. Its been like that during all of church.
It has been a rough week and even rougher weekend, but we are so much closer to our basement being done. Saturday my whole family came over and my dad finished touching up the drywall and mudding and taping in the two basement bedrooms, and we primed, painted and got in fights. Jasper was concerned about the sisterly fighting until I assured him it was "normal."

I made an ambitious (dumb) goal of scheduling the carpet in our basement to be laid this coming Friday. I figured that if I scheduled it then we would just have to bust our butts and my dream basement would be finished!! Although we worked really hard, we still have one whole room to touch up, prime and paint, some closet shelves for David to build, a ceiling to finish painting and more. So... I might have to call and reschedule the carpet guys. Ugh.

I guess if I've waited this long what is one more week, right?



This little guy thinks mommy is slowly
going crazy with all
this basement nonsense.

You're right. Sister fights are 100% normal.

Good luck on the basement!

Oh man that is good stuff. I'm cracking up!

Hilarious! I love the dissheveled Mom bit.

Good luck with your basement. We redid a bunch of our house right before we sold it and I know we saw the sun rise several days in a row. Ugh.

And if you don't fight with your sisters, then you're having an off day. :)

Hilarious that you feel asleep in primary! I would have never noticed! I'm going to giggle about that for a while. So exciting that you're so close! I'll be over there Thursday night if you need so you can get that carpet in!

Falling asleep in primary...now, that does say how tired you were! Those little kids move so much that, well, I could never fall asleep. Good luck with the basement, too. I know you will be excited to see it completed. Please post pics.
