Kendall was the first kid to participate because she was listening and following directions.

Saving on Saturday 3/4/2017
The idea is to use what you have but always keep in mind what you want. I was able to “save” this metal cabinet from an outside building at my parent’s house. To say it was nasty is an understatement. I forgot to take a picture up front but I am about half way finished cleaning it up in these pictures.
The original plan was to add a tall “broom” closet to the bathroom in our master suite but I just have not gotten around to doing it. You can see the cabinet looks empty.

After a couple of hours of sanding, cleaning and applying clear coat it was ready to use. I decided to place contact paper on the shelves to make them safe and easy. Total spent on the project was $2!

5 Things Friday 3/3/17
- We are all so tired. I thought it was just me until both Zach and Kendall fell asleep on the way home last night. I am hoping that we can all catch up with a less busy than usual weekend.
- I have reduced my hours at work, in hope to achieve that work/life balance that everyone is talking about. So far so good as I was able to work just half a day today! It is amazing how much better I feel!
- I am starting to feel as normal as I think I ever will. We have slowly worked on getting things back on a schedule. I was even able to ask and got approval for my days off through next November at work. I still need to locate a place to stay on part of our trip to Michigan but at least we are definitely going.
- The weather has been really warm and I definitely can feel the spring fever starting for me this means starting to plan for my garden. I am really excited that mint, rosemary and oregano survived and will not need to be purchased. I am really hopeful that the dill will return as well. Beside purchasing plants the only expense we will have this year is the purchase of dirt.
- Zach face seems to be healing. We will really be able to tell on Monday night when we remove the glue. I am working to prevent infection and so far it has not appeared.
