Being alone too long isn't good...
So being alone does strange things to me....and being alone for long periods of time does even stranger things.Now most of you know I am a NEAT FREAK as it is but being home alone I am full on Obsessive compulsive(yes, I have spoken to a doctor about it) It's exhausting and I HATE IT but when I am home alone for some reason it is intensified and out of control. So I started with some simple cleaning, I got done and it wasn't good enough, I needed more...So I decided maybe if I change just one wall it will satisfy this crave for perfection that was tormenting me at the moment. Being so focused on that one wall and changing it 500 times and leaving a million holes (which my husband isn't too thrilled about) I finally realized I hate my decor so I was going to have to take from other walls and areas to really mix things up and make them look better....not realizing as I'm taking things that I am actually leaving holes in other places that I'd have to fill later....
So here it is...the one wall I wanted to change so badly...nothing special (I'm not very good at decorating) But I do enjoy it and I try:) I am hoping to get better the more I do it..??? Or does that even happen? It seems like some people are just gifted. So anyways, after I finished I turned and notice the empty spots...I looked at the clock and couldn't believe 3 hours passed...but I dove in for more...
This one was quick and really simple...luckily it didn't take long so I felt okay to keep going after I finished...FYI: I DID neglect my kids a little bit...sorry babies (I wasn't kidding when I said I am OCD) I know people joke but it's really not a joke...I was a horrible mommy this day.... but on the other hand Hope was right next to me telling me everything looked beautiful...and she would hand me the hammer when I needed it, the baby slept most the time! So moving right along ( I actually changed more in the kitchen but didn't want to post all the pictures ( I actually really HATE my kitchen and can't wait to have my dream kitchen when we move)! Onto the living room....
This really wasn't fun at all....I wanted to stop and be done but everything was such a mess...I was hating myself at about this point. Yes these are old pictures of Hope...I need updated ones of both my girls! This took forever b/c that stupid rod thing is heavy and for the life of me I can't hang a picture straight...is it really that hard?? Ugh it drives me nuts! 
This wall is at the top of my entertainment center...the worst one of all but I got it done! Now the problem I faced 12hrs later and still face now is that I have two empty walls in my living room and absolutely no more decor...whats a girl to do???...hehehe SHOPPING!!! But it's going to have to wait:( And to top it all off ...I am sick of it already and actually don't like the change....I think it's time to just change homes!!!

I am OCD also about cleaning! I hate it...feel like I am putting way to much energy into something that will just get messed up again sooner or later.
