soooooooo...... this past weekend was an adventure. it's taken me a long while to collect myself, so i haven't had time to blog anything.
i drove to atlanta friday afternoon to remodel the kids' room with stephen this weekend even though i was starting to get sick. the 6 hour trip floored me and i was sick in bed by friday night at 2am after an evening of painting. i won't go into the details of the painting escapade, but after a midnight trip to walmart for ANOTHER gallon of $20 paint, it was quite the irritating night.
so saturday i woke up feeling like i had been run over by a truck. i was snotty and sniffly and hacking and my head was pounding. i sucked it up and went to IKEA and a few other stores with Stephen and the boys to get beds and furniture and other random items. we ate ice cream and had a real "family" day. it was lovely, even though i was in a foggy haze of medicine and snot. we finished painting that night and got one of the beds built.
sunday i woke up feeling a little better. we finished the room and the boys got to see it mostly done. they both came up to me and thanked me for painting their room (i'm sure it was stephen's doing....but still...), and it melted my heart. it was worth all the pain for them to have their airplane room.
monday morning i was supposed to drive back, but i was just too weak to make the trip, so stephen stayed home from work and took care of me. we played video games and took naps and watched movies and played sudoku. i drove home tuesday afternoon and i've been catching up at work the past 2 days trying frantically to keep my due dates current.
oh, in other news.... i was rejected for my heath insurance because of high blood pressure. HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE???? i'm 25 damn years old. jesus. so i'm trying to sweet talk my way in. i REALLY need good medical insurance with my family medical history. i'm probly gonna keel over in a few years so i need to be prepared.
on to the photos. here's a few pics of the kids' room in progress, a few shots of my stephen and his beautiful kids, and a new shot of the two of us taken a few weeks ago. enjoy.

Eh, I thought it was ok. I wasn't really interested in watching it to begin with, but it was definitely entertaining enough in the end. It was pretty funny in that campy, B-movie kind of way... It felt very much like a haunted house attraction to me, though. 
Like, I would go once and have fun, but I wouldn't go back at least until next year. I don't plan on buying the DVD or even watching it ever again.
