I Promise I’ve Been Working on Something…

Well I was until these crazy flu-like symptoms started up on Sunday night. Grrrr.  We’ve all been sick around here, including our little girl.  So needless to say, I haven’t accomplished much this week except eating pints of Blue Bell ice cream. :(  BUT, I will show you what I am going to try and attempt to finish today…

The fake wainscoting.  The office will be complete once I put all the boxes up.  Y’all didn’t know I painted the bottom out white did ya? :)  So if I am able to tolerate the nail gun with my pounding headache, it should be finished today.  But then of course I will still have to caulk and paint the boxes the same white color as the wall, so it will be at least a 2 day project.

Oh, and an update to my pity post the other day…Y’all were right.  Once I started accessorizing and hanging things on the walls, the room really came together, and I LOVE the paint color. :)  Yay!!  I took that rug back also.  Hubby didn’t like it, so we won’t have a rug for now.  It still looks good without a rug, so that’s a plus too.  There is one I want to try from Overstock though…maybe one day.   I’m just so glad I like the room and won’t have to repaint it.  <high five!>

So that’s about it.  Just wanted to give y’all a brief little update. :)

    Feel better soon! I hate being sick!! So glad the room came together and you are happy with it. I have since seen a few pictures of houses with those colors near each other and I think they work well. Good luck with the wainscoting! Okay, back to the dungeon (basement) to continue decrapifying. I am on a mission!

      Thanks Lauren! Yea, I think it’s a trend using those colors and I didn’t even know it. Sweet! Be safe in the dungeon. :)

    Hope you get to feelin better soon. Can’t wait to see your wainscoting. I may try that in my dining room (in several years) it always looks so nice and really makes the room. Be blessed, Karyl =0)

    I have fake wainscotting in my living and dining room, and I plan to also add it to my entry way. It just brightens everything up so nicely and makes it look classier!

    • Decorchick! says

      October 13, 2010 at 9:06 pm

      Yes, exactly! :)

    I think the cold and flu season has hit! You are about the 5th person I “know” that is coming down with something. I hope you feel better soon. Can’t wait to see the faux wainscoting. But don’t over do it, it will be there for you tomorrow as well.

2 months later, and it’s still hard. So very har 2 months later, and it’s still hard. So very hard. It is the strangest, most emptiest feeling one could have, and one that not everyone understands.

Tonight was the 3rd griefshare meeting that I’ve attended, and that does help to be around others who have lost someone close. But it is also so painful hearing their stories. And it’s a night during the week that I’m forced to think about how he’s no longer here. It’s helped me to realize all of the thoughts and actions we have are normal, and the things we do that are odd to others, are actually part of the process.

I haven’t been able to wear these shirts of his yet (he wore them every single day. The red one was his “fancy” one), but I’m glad I have them. It’s just really crappy I can’t see him in them any longer. 💔

This is a pain like no other. I watched him take This is a pain like no other.

I watched him take his final breath at 7:24 this morning. The scent of him is still so palpable.

Gone too soon, and years stolen from his wife and grandkids.

We live in the same small neighborhood, right around the corner on the next street. Now the girls can’t ride their 4-wheelers to go see him. We can’t just swing by to pick him up. He can’t go on our walks anymore. There are lots of no-longers, and it is crushing my heart.

Who am I going to call now when I have a question on how to fix something? He had a solution for everything usually saving us hundreds of dollars. Everything was fixable to him, rather than hiring someone. And often he would find the answer on YouTube.

Who am I going to text with when the Astros make a good or bad play during the next World Series?

I want to hear his voice again. I want to go over and cut his hair again. I want to make him another pie for his birthday and Father’s Day.

It hurts so much.

I love you Daddy.
