Bathroom Update
Ok, so it is mostly finished. I still need to find another towel rack and a shelf, but the worst of it is done - and just in time for visitors. Whew!
So from ducks to the below colors. Whadaya think?

Restart
Ahhhh, sorry about the break, had to be done.
So, what shall we talk about now? It's been a mite bit crazy around here, just like always.
It's Sunday night, and here's what's on the plate for this week - first thing tomorrow, we'll be calling out the plumbers to clear a plugged sewer line. I don't envy them whatever they find in that line. I should have known that the shower filling up during my shower tonight was a bad thing. The leaking toilet and bathtub draining the wrong way were the next immediate and obvious clues. Sigh. This house.
BUT, on the bright side, better that happens tonight than later in the week, when my mother in law and her boyfriend will be staying with us. We get along fine, but our usual once a year visits are plenty of time to get reacquainted. And I guaran-damn-tee you that it's better the plugged line happened before they got here, 'cause we wouldn't have heard the end of it if happened while she was here.
AND, better that the plugged line happened on a Sunday night instead of a Saturday - at least we can avoid the weekend plumber visit. Way to look on the bright side, right?
So yeah. That's what's going on tonight.
In other news, I got my run in today (along with about a million other things). I managed 5.25 miles with a 10:30 average, but that's not an entirely accurate tale. The first two miles were too fast and it went downhill from there. I've really got to step it up if I have a prayer at a half in a few months.
I had a ton of things going through my mind tonight during my run - the impending mother in law visit, school stuff for kiddos, school stuff for me, work stuff, home life, etc. Balance. It's a recurring theme in my life. Sometimes I think I've got everything balanced just fine, and then one thing gives and the entire deck feels like it's threatening to come down.
Seems to me like some area of my life gets an overhaul ever so often - relationships change, jobs change, interests change, kids change - it's hard to keep tabs on everything and make sure everything gets the right amount of attention. I know that prioritizing is supposed to help make sure that everything gets adequate attention, but sometimes it just feels like there's too much going on to make success in everything possible. And yet failure is not an option, and half-assing is unsatisfactory. I dunno, I'm not sure where I'm really going with this, other than there are shit-ton of expectations these days, many of which we put on ourselves, and it feels overwhelming at times.
One thing at a time. Maybe I need to make that my mantra. One thing at a time.
