So the feeling in my hand has finally come back. I re-upholstered our kitchen chairs on Saturday night and my hand killed for a couple of days. I couldn't even squeeze my hand shut on Sunday. I never realized just how stiff our staple gun was!!! But even after the first one I knew it would be worth it, at least for me. I love how they turned out. I covered them in a clear vinyl so that the kids couldn't ruin these like they did the original covers. You could see what they ate everyday just by looking on the chairs. So yucky! But now all I have to do is wipe them off and viola it's perfect! Here's a picture.
And on a high note my house is clean! I tried to keep it clean for a hole month and yeah not so much. Didn't work. It's amazing you get lax for one day and then it's over! But it's clean again and now I just have to keep it that way. I should restate, it's clean except for the bedrooms. I have to come up with something better for all the kids room's. I think no more toys would be a good start and maybe no more books. (I wish but then I'd really go crazy without stuff for them to do.) Lane & Olivia aren't allowed books in their room, except for the cardboard ones, because they ruin them and it drives me crazy. There are a bunch of ripped pieces of paper everywhere and it's not just big pieces here and there it's the whole book. Drives me crazy... What a waste... Lane was doing it for a while and we got him past it and then like a month later Olivia starts it. ahhhhh.... get one kid through a stage and then the next one starts it right back up...
