Again thanks to my friend Mrs P., I remembered I started a blog. One of my main problems is that my life takes over and I sometimes forget to do the things that I like to do. Like write....read...breathe...!
One of the reasons why I love summer so...no schedule. Well, no schedule that I didnt make for myself anyway. I can sleep a little late...gee to 8am at least! I can read the paper that I pay to have delivered everyday. Have coffee out in the backyard with my husband in the morning and actually have a conversation with him before he leaves for work. Play in my garden. Do my projects that I make lists about but never seem to get to do during the year...like clean out my kitchen cabinets or put the mountains of photos I have in a box into a photo album. May not sound like a fun day to you, but anyone who knows my level of OCD can understand how those things call to me and how happy I am to get them done.
So today's the day we officially start decorating Sam's room. It's really the only room in the house we haven't done anything to. Unless you count the front room, which now serves as the catchall for impending and past parties, and around here there's always one or the other. Now not only does the 40th birthday loom...less than a month and counting..theres that block party that we are inviting 117 (yes 117) of our closest friends to. I told MrsP I wasn't making any more friends..what the hell is going on????????????I digress...back to Sam's room.
After much going back and forth, we finally found a comforter set and now have purchased paint. We will begin once Dad gets some spots spackled and paints the ceiling. I am not really into the actual physical painting part. I more like the design and decorating aspect. I need people for the physical part. But we may make it a mother/daughter project. We shall see.
Tomorrow, TP and I go off to CT for a wake/funeral of an uncle in law I really never knew. My dad (this is his brother-in-law) has to go alone for other reasons, so we are really are going to support him so he doesn't have to face the extended family alone. This trip should make for quite the blogging.
Which leads me to another thought. This blogging...I wonder if anyone would actually want to read it. I know I enjoy reading MrsP's. I don't know. I think I would like for more of my friends to do this. So I may share. I used to be quite the sharer during my St. Mary's Mom's group days..I have gotten away from that now. Sometimes I think I don't have that much to share anymore in a group like that. Lot's of times it's talk of problems. I am positively happy most days. Even if it's been an exceptionally stressful one. I know at then end of the day, everything I have is everything I need. And that's good enough for me.
Laundry beckons...gotta throw a load in before I hit the hay. Hopefully the lazy days of summer will remind me I like to do this. Thanks again MrsP.
Goodnight.
