The summer is 1 1/2 weeks over! This means I can finally think again!
Summers, for me, are about survival. I don't have the typical parenting woes of "what will I do with my children while they are out of school this summer." Nope. My woes sound more like "What will I do now that I have everyone's children at my home while they are out of school." Every day, we feed neighborhood kids and provide some kind of activity for them. This year, we had the help of 5 interns, but that doesn't mean my job is done for me. Nope. I end up juggling new job, parenting job, Hyaets job, and kid rangling all summer long.
Did I mention I only have 1 1/2 weeks to go?
With the end in sight, I am able to think. Most other times of the year, I am so overwhelmed with all the ideas I have in my head that I get stuck. Right now, though, I am welcoming the new ideas happily. I've got room for new ideas at the moment and that makes me very happy.
Among many of the things I've been thinking about is home decor. Yes, I have been thinking about more "important" things like my new position as Pastor of a church and how to be a better parent. But for one moment, allow my the luxury of talking about something as frivolous as home decor.
First off, I want a Happy Chair http://www.shawnarobinson.com/.
Secondly, I want to repaint my dining room. Grey, teal, aqua? Total color combo: plum, grey, blue, teal, yellow, red
I want to re-do the color combo in the living room to brown, lime green, aqua, scarlet, and plum
Playroom: The color combo is my favorite in the house right now: red, lime, yellow, brown.
I need to do some problem solving so that we can be a bit more organized. Especially in the bedrooms.
It is fun thinking about things again. Glad I have the room!
