At 2 a.m. Micah woke up crying like the world was ending. She went right back to sleep, in our bed, and I've been up since. My mind won't stop racing!! Just this evening I was telling Tim how hard of a time right now I'm having juggling everything. Work is insanely busy right now with my normal work load and some cool but demanding opportunities. I am soooo far behind. Home is always busier than work is. Put the two together and you have me: stressed and stretched pretty thin. You'd think when 8 p.m. hit and the babies went to bed (on good nights) that I'd try to catch up with the house or work. Instead I work on stuff like this:
Tim thinks it's a dollhouse but I keep telling him it's a bookcase in the shape of a dollhouse. Yes, that's really what it is. I'm in the middle of painting it to match M and K's room. Tricky, since their room consists of their cribs. That's it. And mismatched bedding- nothing to go off of really. I have yet to finish either of the kids' rooms. Well, I haven't even started yet. I decided to do the little girls' room in gray, white, and dark orange. Starting with the bookcase. I love cool projects to work on. Although, it leaves my house a wreck and justification that it would just get dirty immediately after I cleaned anyway, so what's the point. Right?
Micah's belt exam was last month. She advanced to the top of three brown belts and her junior black belt exam will be this fall. She asked me not to tell or invite anyone except Auree... and Auree is her karate friend. She said, "only karate people there except you guys." Copper was in NY, so it was just Tim and I and Dakota. Kota's phone died about one hour into the almost four hours we were there, and what a trooper. Haha. Micah is awesome! While waiting they had to do all sorts of "the grind" exercises. Here she had to put her feet on her friend (boy Ronan) legs and then do push ups. It looked really hard. Jujitsu fighting with friend (girl) Ronan... Three hours in and she just sat and took a break. She looked beat. I'm grateful for girl Ronan's friendship with Micah. They're all such great friends with her. Ronan, Kristine, and Micah Ms. Kassie came back to see everyone who was advanced testing! Micah was thrilled; this is her mentor...
That's so cute! I must admit I thought it was a doll house too!
