Bathroom progress and not much else….

Remember when I was complaining about spring taking it’s sweet time arriving in Michigan? Well I should have kept my mouth shut. Because it was hot hot hot this weekend. And muggy. My two least favorite weather conditions.

On Friday the husband and I made a bet that if he took Wrigley to the dog park I had to weed the yard the whole time he was gone. Normally I don’t do yard work. It’s not a strength of mine. But I was so dang tired of the dog park I agreed. I weeded for an hour and 45 minutes….which is a record for me I’m sure. The husband didn’t believe I would work the whole time but I proved him wrong. And man was I a hot sticky mess afterward. But the front yard looks awesome now! Pretend you are looking at a photo here….totally forgot to take one.

On Saturday I picked out a bunch of stuff for our bathroom remodel (paint, shower fixtures, mirrors, towel bars etc.) and planted some hard-to-kill flowers on the porch. Again, forgot to take a photo.

I did snap some photos of the bathroom progress however…..

Other than running to both home depot and lowes three times over the weekend we really didn’t do much else. It was hot. So we spent a lot of time trying to keep cool.

At least Wrigley found a cool spot.

How was your weekend?

To manage stress, I try to take frequent breaks, remember to smile and laugh every day, carve out some alone time every morning, exercise daily, and turn to friends and other resources available to me if I need extra support.

Gentle. That’s the word I’ve chosen for 2021. Gentle. That’s the word I’ve chosen for 2021. Gentle with my children. Gentle with my family. Gentle with myself. Gentle with those who believe differently than I do. Couldn’t we all use a little more gentleness? After 8 years of raising babies and a crazy 2020 it’s what my mind, body, and soul needs. And my kids and family need it from me too. Have you chosen a word for 2021? If so, let me know what it is! (and thank you @bluegrassred for the word inspo! I heard her talk about it a few times on @pantsuitpolitics and I couldn’t get it out of my head. Exactly what I need for this year!)
