You take the good, you take the bad....

I've been doing a lot of self-help these past few weeks. Reading books, watching tv, internet searches, etc. This week they have some good shows on Discovery Health - it's Psych Week - and I am realizing I have more issues than I thought! (Although I don't eat chalk, and am DEFINITELY not obsessed with running 20 miles a day....so there's hope :)

There are some things that I do love:
1. planning parties
2. going to parties (big shock, I know!)
3. craft projects

Note that HOSTING a party isn't one of those - too much anxiety....since our family birthdays are out of the way, I focused on Easter and other fun events to throw some creativity around.

Here's my "Spring Wreath" that I love and can save for next year, or put back up after 4th of July (see below)....



And some Easter treats I made for AMOK's Spring Fling:



Teacher Appreciation gifts that I totally LOVED from http://theidearoom.blogspot.com/2009/02/personalized-hand-sanitizer-soaps.html and came out quite well!



And my new wreath that I made today:



Now for the ugly....

There is a reason that I always tell people to 'leave it by the side door'. I HATE TO CLEAN. I AM A HOARDER. I AM LAZY (or just like to procrastinate). It takes me an entire day before hosting something at my house to clean and de-clutter the areas that people see (I don't bother with what's behind closed doors - not enough time). This is what my house looked like at 1 pm today (and looks like 99.8% of the time) :

** Note there are no pictures of any bathrooms or bedrooms - all I can say is that they are worse and I'm not ready to share that chaos online **



Now I am off to zombie out on the couch......
