My Single Mom Life

Like I said yesterday, I got my new blinds for my living room window.
They are dark cherry, and so gorgeous, I cannot wait to put them up!
But they are going to have to wait.

I woke up this morning with my shoulder on fire.
It is so sore, it hurts all the way down into my ribcage.
See, I'm still on that lift restriction of 5lbs, and I pretty much ignore it completely when my nieces come over.
I cannot help myself.

My nieces are so cute, and they always want Auntie Kat to pick them up and sit on my lap, and read stories. They also need help washing their hands after using the bathroom, so I have to lift them up to the sink to do that.
I lifted them up, I played, I bent over to tickle them, help them color, and jump over things, and held their hands while they jumped on the beds, and now I'm sore like I got hit by a truck.
I wouldn't have changed all that fun for any reason though, it's just going to take me a day or two to recover, before I go trying to lift my arms above my head to install the blinds.

They are going to look so good in here though!
My coffee and end tables are dark cherry, and the blinds are almost the same color, slightly lighter, but they are just going to tie the whole room together so freaking nicely!
Hopefully tomorrow after school, my shoulder will be rested enough that the teens and I can put them up.
I've read all the instructions, it shouldn't be that difficult at all.
I will take before and after pics too.
I just know they are going to be perfect in here, so much better than what I have right now.
