my latest accomplishment

So this morning I went to put away laundry, and naturally being a women I got distracted by my closet. I'm so sick of all the junk in there, especially those pictures that I'm NEVER gonna use anywhere, don't ask me why I've kept them so long. Anyhow, all of a sudden I got the great idea that maybe Hannah's snowman picture (the one she made in art class that got entered into the art fair) would fit in one of those frames. I tried it, had to crop it a little, but it fit and it looked great.

Caden and I went trompsing all around the house trying to figure out where to hang this picture. We finally found the perfect spot right by Hannah's door. So I go drag out the hammer and nails. And then... I realized that this is that super annoying frame from our old house that you have to use screws for and of course it takes two, and of course they have to be PERFECTLY spaced apart. So I get the drill and the screws and the level (because I'm picky like that) and I set to work. I actually am sweating HOT (even though it's like 30 degrees outside) because I am so nervous that I'm gonna put some huge hole in our wall that we'll have to fix and then it never will get fixed because we never fix anything like that...even though we always think we will someday. So, I actually figured out how to get the bit to stay in the drill and I successfully drilled the screws in the wall (there may or may not be several dents around the screw). Then I try to hang the picture. Not good. I don't know how it happened since I triple checked my measurements, but somehow the screws aren't a lined with the holes in the back of the picture. So, after several failed attempts to hammer the screws in the right direction, I gave up and took out the screws and rescrewed them an inch above. I actually figured out how to make the drill take out screws!

Hannah's picture is now proudly displayed right next to her door! It looks so good! And I feel like I could conquer the world!... so look out house, momma is in the zone!

Oh, but first, I better get that laundry put away! :)
