A Sudden and Unexpected Burst of Energy...

...or my "Wednesday" Project.

Today was like a miracle, sent to soothe my frazzled nerves and tired fingers. I am convinced that time was slowed down just for me. I was able to accomplish soooo much in just one little old day. And I felt such a great sense of self-worth when it was all said and done.




At 9:00 a.m. I looked at the clock on my oven. "How can it only be 9:00?" I thought to myself.


At that point in the morning I had washed, dried and folded several loads of laundry. I had unloaded, and then loaded again, and run!, the dishwasher. I had washed the rest of the counterful of dishes that wouldn't fit in said dishwasher. Reorganized the cubbies of the shoe closet and the trillion pairs of shoes stuffed in those cubbies. And practiced the piano for 45 minutes!!!





In the next hour I showered, dressed for the day, watered a few planters and planted a rose bush.





By 11:00 I had removed the headboard from my bed for recovering and was ready to begin the process while I watched "Nate".

During "Nate" I sanded and painted the legs of the headboard. While the paint dried I had to do a little sewing on the fabric so that it would fit around the headboard. Then I attached the batting and fabric. By the time the news at noon was halfway over I was done and had attached the headboard back onto the bad.

At 1:00 I decided that I needed a break, so I sent Zane off to the big babysitter in the playroom (the tv) with the threat that he would have to take a nap if he bugged me during my quiet time.

At 2:00, feeling refreshed, I got in another hour of piano practice. Then (big breath), I decided that my room needed to be rearranged. This involved taking all the books off of 2 bookcases and dusting everything in the process. After moving night stands and such I got done just in time for piano lessons.

After piano lessons I hurried to make pizza dough (you have to have pizza when the Suns are playing) and wrote the instructions down for Hallie to construct the pie. Then off I went to practice with "Messiah" soloists (another 2 hours at the piano).

Now how, may I ask, could all that have been accomplished in an ordinary day? I know I was in some sort of time warp.

Anyways, here is a shot of my headboard. It turned out great, except now my bedding totally doesn't go. And I need to paint and put up curtains now that I have some sort of direction in that room.

I had a before photo that I took months ago, but now I can't remember where it is stored in all my photo files. If I find it, I'll post it. And when I finally make my bedroom the cleanest, most romantic spot in the house, like it should be, I'll post those photos too. Just don't hold your breath for it to happen anytime soon. I don't think there is another time warp scheduled anytime soon.



And now, I am going to bed.

I'm suddenly feeling exhausted!

(Post Edit: I forgot that I also scoured a bathroom sometime in during this crazy day.)
