Hair Cuts and Bathroom Remodel

 Oh my! I am watching all the Spring Break travel photos and thinking how I’m slaving away in this bathroom remodel all day. (Can I get a little sympathy?)

Real Barber Hair Cuts

I mean...well ok. Mostly Matt is slaving away, and I come by to help when it’s convenient...but SOMEBODY has to maintain the home. Am I right?!!
I put my girls on a plane to my dream vacation this afternoon...meanwhile, I learned to cut tile and am getting quite good at it. (Can you believe he allows me to participate in such ways?!!! Forget about careless and clueless...let’s start calling me Careful Kristen. How bout that?!)


Dillon's Great Clips Cut


Since Matt is slaving away...seriously...all day every day for 2 weeks now!  😱.....I decided to give him a break on the diy cuts.

Looking Good


The boys had their first haircut out of the house (or neighbor’s)!


Hot Shot
They were amazed at how quick it was...and they are officially sold on the Great Clips experience!

I mean...their Dad definitely has talent!...but it is painfully slow and calculated.

After all...he is not trained in construction OR cosmetology. So...we are just grateful he is willing to diy and save us LOTS!

And please don’t think I didn’t do my part. Once again this built-in baby b was all mine on the bathroom remodel round 2.  She’s still a work in progress. And she happens to be one of my favorite features of the home.

And she is not making it easy to give her new life. The gray is working, but the odd-sized pulls are gonna be tough. Last time we just kept the old.  🤷‍♀️. But I’m working with black matte and not silver this round, so...  #oldhousebathroomremodel. 😭😭


Now don’t go getting too feel sorry for me...I mean definitely some, I like the attention...but don't fear, I somehow managed to find a few minutes of peace amidst all the work.

Evan officially backed out of baseball. My heart is relieved. And if I told you what convinced him, you would understand. In the meantime...it is sports home edition for this little guy.  



Sports...and bubble blowing. I mean...that’s actually a sport, too. We love the big bubble blowing competition around here. And, just enjoying the weather.

Work and fun. Work and fun. (And the never ending laundry!!). Sometimes the balance is off...but...we do our best. And that’s all we can manage. All in all, I think we are a fortunate lot.

Congratulations! You made it through Monday. I hope and pray it’s a good week!  

G’night to all and to all a good night!

Living in Kristen's Paradise

Birds are my new bestie.  This guy danced with me, spoke to me...and as I was walking to the door, he actually told me "Bye."  💕💕💕 Well, guys...it's a keep the curtains closed kind of weekend.  So sad for such a sunny disposition as my own, don’t you think?  It's a beautiful weekend, and I would LOVE to enjoy it. I don't mean to be un-neighborly, I promise.  I guess I've just spent all the sunshine within me, and I'm going to need some SERIOUS SPACE to refill.  I'm sorry, Mr. Rogers.  I tried.  I just don't seem to have the capacity to be very neighborly today.  I’ll be back, when the day is… Oh, I don’t know.  Maybe I won’t be back at all!  Boo! In case you are jealous, the grass is definitely NOT greener over here in Kristenville today.  In case you already noticed, my grass is actually dying from my personal neglect, and I seem to have run out of spray paint.  I can’t even keep up a façade right now.  So...let's...

Happily Ever Sunset, After All - Day 2, Colorado

I did not expect the eye roll and "gross!" response I got the first time I told someone (my sister) that Matt dries my hair for me.  I want to say I do not KNOW how I got so lucky to have a husband who cares so much about helping me (...every...little...detail), but that's not entirely true.  I like to say it's been an acquired skill he has learned based on sheer desperation to keep me from not continually losing my $*@! 😬😂, but that's also not entirely true.  (Failed that one this weekend.  😢).  Let's leave it at I am grateful.  Self care (physical...I'm talking hygiene, people.) is a commonly known neglect in the neurodivergent world.  He's lucky I keep myself (mostly) clean.  I'm lucky he will dry my hair so I feel "pretty" sometimes (which is whenever I have time in between overbooking myself to ask for help). The original "Foxy Lady". We were early birds on our 2nd day in the mountains.  We took the time to enjoy the pea...

Kristen Doesn't-Go-Lightly. Amen.

Hi, it's me.  It's Kristen - the (wo) man, the myth the "enigma"???  I'll take that as a compliment and move on.   But can you PLEASE hold on a minute while I just "tap out".  It's a new thing.  I don't have time to explain.  (FFR, look up "jiu jitsu.")  I don't have time for much of anything, actually, right now; which is why... Wait, no.  Nevermind!! I DON'T tap out!! I take that back. I can't tap out.   Why???  Because I can NEVER TAP OUT, AS LONG AS I HAVE BREATH, and that is just who I am. Unfortunately, somewhere along the line circa February 15, 1978, I got the idea that (my equivalent of) tapping out is a sign of weakness and that weakness (and, subsequently, any sign of backing down) is my mortal enemy.   A seven nation ARMY couldn't hold me back... You could stand me up at the gates of...(not gonna push it that far)...I WON'T BACK DOWN.  (Like EVER.) I have a question.  Do you think tenacity is more of a na...
