out with the old, in with the new!!!

look what i did instead of fretting like i was gonna do!!!

i love mental health!!!  the old me would have just simmered away on how angry i was at kevin.  the new me processes that i am not god.  i process that others are in different stages than i am, and they see things differently than i do.  while i do firmly believe that kevin is as toxic as can be, and  totally passive/aggressive, and that my girls are being sucked into being his enablers now, there really isn't anything that i can do about it.  and,  even though i have learned that i got in God's way when He was wanting to deal with kevin, the girls havent learned that yet.  they havent learned that they are doing more harm than good.  they really believe that they are helping--just like i used to believe......

so, instead of stewing, i processed.  and, i did something way cool with my chair!  dont you just love the black chair?  i have been wanting to paint and re-seat those chairs for the LONGEST time!!!  instead of stewing about kevin and his passive aggressive behavior and my girls being sucked into his awful vortex, i decided to get moving on my day and to do something PRODUCTIVE!!!  so, finally got around to doing atleast one of my chairs.

i am in love with the staple gun.  i made the cutest curtain for an ugly gorilla rack storage area/cutting table by just primitively stapling some tea stained plaid fabric to it.....i have a foot stool that a great uncle made that is getting recovered today.....but it's base still needs painting.


i will get that and other chair painted tomorrow....and hopefully a hutch top too that is going on an old table to make a desk.....i am having the best time working on fixing things up and using what i have.....and also using the new tools that i have in my mental health toolbox!  using what i have!!   tweaking the old into become new and improved......YEAH!!!!
