Busy hands




Week number one of Bailee at her Dad's!  We usually whine about the 2 days week-ends away so the 7 day stints give us pause......and 5.5 year old yearnings!  We've found the best medicine for withdrawals is busy hands.  We had already planned to perform an extreme bedroom makeover during Miss B's absence.  We had made the choices and all our accessories had been delivered.  We hit Lowe's for paint on Friday night and Jess went to work.  What would have been a sheer fiasco for me occurred overnight for Jess.  She painted, removed wallpaper border, repaired the TV stand/bookcase, painted the dresser and washed bedding...Personally, I'd have strung it out throughout the entire week... After all, we have 7 days to fill with busy work and mind clutter.  Jess did this project in 36 hours.  Now what the hell will I do with her for the next 5 days? We did get paint for her bedroom too so maybe she'll delve into extreme bedroom makeover II. 
I have her signed up for a complete expedition detailing this week and maybe a movie.  We can only watch a tidbit of the Olympics and our evenings are way too barren.  We'll see if Magic Mike can take our minds off Boisterous Bailee... at least for a couple of hours.
