Quite honestly, I'm just typing this because i feel like i should have said SOMETHING at this point--after all. I have now been an official home-owner-type for a week!
Now, don't get me wrong--the joys abound. But there is a lot of work involved! A lot!!
My daughter wants a pink bedroom. I tried to paint some shelves pink. Not good enough. I tried to pain a toy box pink. Not quite! I painted a window alcove pink... getting there! I know, i know. I shouldn't be doing what SHE wants. But it IS her room. Up to this point, she's been sharing her pink room decor with her brother--and beleive you me, there is no way no how that Sponge Bob and pink flowers are cute together.
Andrew is another story. Now, pink i can buy. I know that Maddie has had a love-affair with pink since the day she was born. Andrew suprised me. He wants orange. What's that,you say?? that can't be right. You betcha it's right. He wants orange. And apparently, orange bedrooms don't exist for boys unless you're talking Nascar. Which we are most definitely NOT.
My mother in law doesn't beleive that my having a map hanging in the front room makes it "Grown Up" enough. And, I just plain don't care. I like the map.
I've shifted glassware and plates around a few times, and think i finally have it right--of course, any time anyone but me cleans out the dishwasher (yup! dishwasher! praise the housekeeping gods!), i have to re-shift,because apparently,what makes senseto me does NOT make sense to anyone else.Luckily, i think it'll turn into only me doing dishes again after the fun of having a dishwasher rubs off.
Anyway, I'm happy. Completely exhausted, and falling asleep nightly with a big smile on my face. :D
