Today has just been one of those day. I just want to drop my kids off somewhere and kidnap my husband from work and just drive…drive somewhere were it’s quiet. Where there is no wining. No mommy…mommy…..mommy, five googol times an hour! Where I don’t have to worry about dishes, laundry, or spending time making a meal for 5 little mouths ...

This very worn out chair   was ,my husbands before I even met him. I have loathed it from the day I set my eyes on it! I decided to paint it black and reupholster it with music fabric… thus it is called the music chair in my home :) I wish my entry way was big enough for this chair to live in.
