What a week...

Well, now that it's over, I can say it. I've been husbandless this week. Yes, my darling husband has been out of state for training for his job. I didn't want to post that while he was away 'cause you never know when some weirdo might be reading your blog. Ya know what I mean?

So I had pretty high expectations for myself this week. Since Brad was away, I knew I'd be up late 'cause I have a hard time sleeping when he's not home. So I planned on having a crafting marathon. I also planned to get the closet organized. All this after the kids were tucked cozily into bed.

Well, although I didn't get all of my crafting done, I did do some of this...

And made a few more of these...

I also got the closet completely organized so our bedroom which looked like this:

Now is back to normal and looks like this:

(Notice my barren walls. This room is a work in progress. It has been a slow but progressive transformation. Hence the reason we do not have window treatments yet.)

Look at this, ladies. I'm super-excited about this one:

No more baskets of laundry in my closet waiting to be carried to the laundry room in the basement. Nope. It all goes into this chute and straight down to the basement to be laundered. The kids think this is so cool that they actually pick up their dirty laundry without complaining! Yay! (Wonder how long before the novelty wears off?)

I love my husband. He is talented in so many ways. He also built these built-in shelves for me.

My mom recently bought me a label maker 'cause she knew how much I wanted one (thanks so much, mom), and I went happy crazy making little labels for all my containers and drawers. That was so much fun.

Oh, and I did take one night to do this:

While watching this:

Anyway, I'm glad this week is coming to an end. I miss Brad terribly when he's not home with me. And did I mention that my kids are completely off sleeping schedule due to the time change? Yeah. So I was going to bed at 1:00am and Lily was getting up between 5:00 and 5:30am. So I'm currently a little sleep-deprived and looking forward to a good night's sleep tonight with my man cuddled up beside me.

Enjoy your weekend!
