2012-02-01T00:01:00.000-08:00

Last week while doing the dishes (which i completely abhor) i was thinking about how it was MY TURN to think up some questions for We want to know Wednesday!So, while i stood there looking out the window wishing i was doing ANYTHING ELSE, i wondered if everyone else hated doing dishes as much as i do? or is it Laundry, the never ending battle between you and the mountain of dirty clothes, or is

I consider myself crafty-fabulous but life gets in the way. You can't very well craft while holding a baby, while using a glue gun. I couldn't glitter anything. And the only project I had time for in the last year was my christmas table/stand redo.

I don't even want them to get their hopes up that Santa will come through with a last minute request. It's not happening. Santa is tapped out.

There is a room in my house that I hate. It's cluttered and piled with all of the clean laundry that needs to be folded. A baby swing graces the corner and the vacuum stands silent as a specter watching me. Haunting me. The room closes in around me. Every time I walk in or look over I grow irritable and frustrated. But in that room, next to the fireplace, is a rocking chair. As soon as I sit
