Friday all ready??? Where did the week go?

This morning I headed on over to the hospital bright and early for my Remicade. I was there for 5 long hours, but mind you, I spent most of it sleeping :) They gave me a bag of benadryl through IV and when that hits, I am good-bye. It's not a deep sleep since they have to take my vitals every 15 minutes but at least I was able to rest some. Then when I got home, I had to run over to our Accountant. It seems I have a very complicated tax return to fill out. And people wonder why I pay someone to do it for me. If a professional finds it a challenge to do, then I would have never figured it out. Then back home I came since my baby wasn't feeling so hot. So while she was resting on the couch, I finished AND started some new projects.

I was hoping that today would of been a beautiful day but we had some light flurries then some rain and a very cloudy day. BUT they are forecasting a beautiful one for tomorrow so I am crossing my fingers. I so want to open all the windows and try to air out this house. I am getting over my cold...thank god it was no wheres near as bad as a few weeks ago but my baby came home from school today complaining that she did not feel good. Tonight she has a really bad cough and poor thing can't stop sneezing and all she could say was "Mommy I am sick"...poor thing. I pray so much that I don't catch it back. I told my husband that I want to buy a couple cans of Lysol and spray down the house. Joking, hubby said we will even spray the kids while they are sleeping...LOL. Of course I won't, but it would be tempting since my kids have a bad habit of not always washing their hands. But aren't all kids like that???

I finally painted my bread board. YEAH!!! Remember, I received this as a gift from my FIL for Christmas??? He never painted it because he didn't know how I would of liked it finished. So it's done and one more thing off of my list. Here it is...
...it looks so different right now just beause the color is new and it stands out from the white appliances but I really like how it looks. I decided to go with Barn Red because I have so many things that are painted black, I feel you need to choose other colors...right??? And I did not want to paint it a off white, beige color just because we are slowly changing the color of our cupboards over and that is the color of them. I figured it would just be lost in the color. So I am pleased with what I went with and besides it blends in well since my big hutch cabinet is the same color. Of course I will end up tweaking what's on top. But for the moment this is how it looks.

The two items that hubby built me on Wednesday are all painted and one is stained but I will only show you once I have them completed. I should have them done this weekend :)

I also decided to re-do my banana holder. It was green in which served it's purpose when my kitchen use to be green but I felt it needed a change so I painted black over it and sanded it up a bit and then stain. Now it looks much better.
And since I was in the working mode...I finally made my curtain that went over the sink. I have been wanting to make up a new one but just kept putting it off and finally today I sewed it right up in a jiffy...
It was so funny because once I had it installed, Abigayle came up from the basement and with great expression and said "OH WOW!". So I take it that she really like's it :)

So tomorrow if it turns out to be beautiful, I will head out on the deck and do up a few more projects. My head is spinning because I have so many things that I want to do and complete...LOL

So stayed tuned until tomorrow to see what else I have been working on...Until next time my friends :)
