Conjunctivitis....{shiver & shudder}

I woke up this morning and had a hard time opening my eye...WHAT THE WHAT?!?!?!?!
I went to the doctor...I have pink eye (I just threw up a little in my mouth.)
And it is now sliding right on over into the other eye. Oh joy of joys.
I swear I have been to the doctors so often in the past couple of months...it is ridiculous.
They see me walk in and are like "She's back??? You get her this time." "No! I had her last time!" "I'll buy you lunch!" "Done! Emily Robertson the doctor will see you now." Seriously, I should just personalize my own room there. A lovely yellow would be nice with some plants, and some nice little knick knacks that I love lying around. I think we are paying for the doctor to go to Fiji this year. I am dead serious.
So anyway, I had to go to school with this nasty eye. It grosses me out so bad, so I cannot even imagine what other people are thinking. UGH!!!!!!
Now I will return from spring break remembered as the nasty girl who had pink eye and now wears a huge arm brace with pillow and pulls a rolling backpack. Would anyone like to contribute to the "Let's pay some people to be friend's with Emily so she won't feel like such a big loser." fund???
I am developing a complex...good thing Matt already loves me. There ain't no goin' back!

hehe

Just to clarify from the comments on my previous post....I will be wiping my own tushie & Elizabeth is not allowed near me...just sayin'. Oh man, I love my family!

Just some rambles...

So I only have a week and a half before my right arm is useless. I am starting to get a little worried. I have never had surgery before, so I am a bit clueless about what all goes on before and after.
My sister Elizabeth is coming to help me out that first week and I just found out that my brother Josh is coming that week too! I am SO excited. I keep thinking of all kinds of fun things that we can do & then remember that I will be a bit useless...sigh...
When Elizabeth leaves, my brother Andrew is going to come up and stay with us for a couple of weeks! Another big excitement! So I really shouldn't worry because I will have plenty of help, but I just don't like the thought of being useless.
But I am grateful that my shoulder will be fixed, so it will all be worth it!
Isabelle is sick today. She woke us up at 3am with a fever. So Matt is at home with her today, because I have to go to school. I am a little jealous that he gets to stay home with her. But it will be good for them to spend some time together. I am wondering when the illnesses will go away. it seems like one of us is always sick. I guess that's life though.
No more projects from us for awhile...unless Matt has a hankering to do something. He is so handy!
Well, have a fabulous day!

Bathroom finished!!!!!!!!!!!

Well here it is! I tried to find a good before picture that I know I have but I couldn't....and I looked for a long time! Sooo.....what do you think?????

I know you are totally diggin' our ghetto light bulb!

This cupboard was already in here and I just painted it white.

I love our new floor!

Here is a closeup of the shower curtain. I love the stitching on it!

Towel hooks. I am hoping to put a mirror above them.

The baseboards Matt did!

I wanted new knobs for the vanity, medicine cabinet, and the other cabinet. And I wanted them all to match. I found some that I liked and I found some that I loved! The ones I liked were a buck cheaper so it would have been $10 instead of $15. I was stuck... I am such a cheapskate! Matt finally said we were getting the ones I loved and I leaped for joy...I might have literally done that, but my memory is a bit hazy =)

No cracks in this sink! Hooray!!!

And now I have storage! Makes everyone happy =)

Come visit & see it for yourself!

WARNING: Someone Went A Little Camera Happy

Here it is...It is done...I am so excited and I LOVE the outcome. Ben loves it too. He keeps telling Matt and I that we are the greatest parents EVER! So here is Ben's new room.....

This is a copy of a painting that my Dad did. My Mom had it personalized and framed for Ben. All of the grand kids have one (just different characters). I love it!

Originally I wanted to paint his bed a dark red. But he wanted blue & since it is his room I painted it blue. Besides we have leftover paint from a dresser that I painted a few years ago, so we crossed that expense off of our list too!

Don't they look so great with the blue frames???

These are some pins off of Matt's Grandpa's uniform. We inherited this & has been hanging in Ben's room for a long time. I think it is really cool!

Matt says this wall is too bare, but I have NO idea what to do with it, so I guess it will remain this way for awhile. Any ideas???

This is Ben telling me he LOVES it! I love this kid!

I hope you enjoyed the tour. Come visit us and we will give you a personal one!

Here is all of the extra wood stacked up in our basement. I have so many ideas for this!

Once There Was A Snowman!

The snow has started to melt, and the kids were worried because their snowman's face was falling off. So they fixed him and took pictures. I think they are cute. They even took a picture of our neighbor's house and some random guy walking by. They thought they were pretty hilarious!

We {heart} Pirates!!!

My Dad gave me some Pirates of the Caribbean prints a long time ago. He made copies for everyone in our family. I have always thought they were super cool & wanted to frame them for Ben's room. Well, they are square & it is really pricey (for me) to buy custom frames & so I have put this off for a VERY long time. Ben and I were at Saver's and I found 2 square matching frames. They were $2.99 each and I was slightly annoyed at the price, because HELLO this is a thrift store! But I was glad to find them and so I tried not to let it bother me too much =) Here is one of the before pictures. Not too bad at all...but not what I wanted...
Doesn't it look so good??? Even the mat works perfect with it. I wasn't sold on the white frame though and asked for my mom's advice. It is now painted the same blue as the inner mat and looks fabulous! I didn't take pictures of them painted until they were already on the wall & you have to wait for the big reveal of Ben's room to see them in their final form. So sorry....Yo ho yo ho A Pirate's life for me!
