Spring is in the air! That means time to RENEW!!! The kids and I spent the day cleaning and re-arranging rooms. This was not only due to the fact that their rooms were in desperate need of a good scrub but also my prepping for yet another furniture shopping spree (imagine that).
This year I'll be resting peacefully in my NEW BEDROOM. Unfortunately the sheer enormity of the set makes my bedroom computer virtually null and void. This added to the fact that I'll be purchasing a massive roll top for my husband...well, I'm sure you can imagine my dilemma. Either we tweak the bedroom situation or add-on. Thinking that may not go over well with housing.
So, that being said, we have combined bedrooms to once again make way for an office, nay...study. And this time there will be no guest bed, no toys, no TV's, no dresser overflow. Just my books, my writing desk (recently purchased), the roll-top, a stunning Kok Fung screen (yet another recent purchase), a few candles, and a reading chair. The study will be my haven (well another haven). Yes, I admit, it would seem my entire home is becoming my great escape. But I'll not apologize for it. I adore the comfortable atmosphere I've created here. Isn't that the way it should be?
My greatest desire is for family and friends to feel as at home here as I do. However, don't come knocking on my door just yet. The house is in an uproar with bunkbed parts lining the walls of my hallway, bedding covering the floor of my laundry room, dressers and closets in the midst of being shifted and purged, and walls being scrubbed and painted (at least touched up). What a nightmare! In fact, if you were to come over right now I'd likely ignore the doorbell for fear you would step into this black hole never to be heard from again...or at least not until next spring.
Much Love to All and Happy Spring!
About Me
- Randi
- I'm married to a fantastic man who drops by for a visit from time to time (no I'm not kidding). We have 6 amazing kids that keep me busier than any one woman should be. I have an inherent fear of boredom....so I do whatever possible to quell any possiblity of it's rising. That being said, I am also an insomniac...which means at times, even my best efforts are quashed. However, that is not to say that I don't try. I am...for all purpses rendered...a "fly-by-the-seat-of-my-pants" kind of girl. Some think this an elaborate excuse to procrastinate, when in fact, it is simply my way of staying sane...and perhaps an occasional excuse to procrasinate. I am insanely loyal to my friends and would drop everything in a moments notice for them. I dig partying with a ton of people. The more the better. I'm told I have an insane gift for making people enjoy themselves. Am studing the possiblility of euphoric gasses released through my salivary glands. It's one of many theories I'm looking into. Along with the off chance that I may just simply exude good times all on my own...curious. I love to sing, and do it as often as possible. Been told I can carry a tune...I do try *eh hem*!

There you go girl! Doing the things that make a mothers heart sing. Cleaning is just the best thing. I still have an aversion to rearranging furniture, a left over from the 48 moves with you know who. When you get home after 5 years you will find my stuff as it was. However the yard will be totlally different as we are redoing the 3 big flower beds out front. Now that makes my heart sing!
Must be in the air, I did some rearranging also. Could be cuz Kevin moved out and I have more room:) Moving stuff is fun and then everything is clean!! Ahhhhh!
So how are the roomies doing? Are they fighting yet?
It definitely must be in the air, as we doubled up the children at ou house too. How are the attitudes after the big switch? My girls love it, but there are only two of them, and it has only been two days! I also worked on my room this weekend, I can see the entire floor for the first time in ages! Yeah! Email me!
Its nice to know you are doing well. You seem to change your hair color on a whim and that is a great thing. How about you come over and do the cleaning here at my house? I know i don't like to but alas you have more than i do so I'll just have to do it myself. I hope all is well with you. Read about you later.
Hugs
Michelle B
