LINKY? I'm doing one!

everyone needs a nap now and then


Ok.  Here at Happy Momma I have been focusing on what makes ME happy.  But I want this to be a place where you can celebrate and share what makes YOU happy.  I want this to be a place where we help each other learn how to be Happy Mommas with Happy Homes.  One thing that makes me a Happy Momma is SUNDAY NAP TIME!!  Now, I only have one child.  So I can lay down when he naps every day.  But you know how that goes:

"Oh, I better hurry and shower while he is asleep."
"Well, if I get the towels in the wash now I can put them in the dryer when I wake up."
"Oh, right.  Stuff is still in the dryer.  I'll just hurry and fold it."

And by the time you are finally drifting off the baby wakes up and your nap takes a nose dive.  BUT on Sunday, nap time is different.  I lay the baby down and go right to bed.  I don't do chores on Sunday, so that gives me a better nap.  Plus, I go ahead and put in earplugs and when the baby wakes up, Dad takes care of him.  One day I week, I get a really nice nap.  It is something I can do for myself to recharge.

That's what today is about.  YOU!  To be a Happy Momma, I believe you have to be able to relax once in a while and just do something you want to do.  Everyone needs a break, even Mom.  So, today I want everyone to blog about what YOU do to feel good!  It can be every day, every week, or just whenever you can get it.  Then link up and read other mom's ideas.  Be sure to link back so that all YOUR followers can have a chance to link up too!  Of course, my feelings never get hurt by new followers, wink wink, nudge nudge.

Sorry, world!

I was really mean and I taunted you all with stories of my living-room make over and then NEVER posted anything more.  Well, here's the thing...

1) my babe was sick for like, 2 weeks!  Who can get anything done THEN?
2) My camera sucks.  I can't keep it in batteries!  I thought rechargeable ones would do the trick, but no.  So, I have to be really fast and trick-sy to GET the pictures, then I have to switch the card to my husband's camera so I can use up ITS batteries while I download pictures.  No, I can't just use his, it takes crap-for-pictures. 
See?! See how poor and pitiful I am?  Ok...kindof a lame list of excuses.  Here's what is going on with the living room so far:

Couch Cover almost done.  I still need to hem and tack on the ruffle pieces.  I also need to pin the seat better so Muffin doesn't un-tuck it every time he pulls himself up on it.  But it's coming right along.

Pillows I destroyed  one existing pillow for it's guts...I have yet to actually make any pillows.

Curtains YAY!  Totally finished.  Um, I bought them.

Nate Berkus Bookshelf Crates found and stacked!  I just need a picture of this one.

Picture Frames painted and back on the wall.

Wow that doesn't look like much.  But it is going to look SO posh when I'm done.  I'll duke it out with the camera soon!
