Yes, I’m home. Home and tired. Tired and glad to be home. Why did I think that I could do 3 weeks on the west coast, 2 days at home, 4 days camping, one day at home, 10 days at a cabin in the woods, then two days of homeschool convention….. in a row??? I’m so tired even I’M eating cereal for dinner. Usually that’s reserved for those who can’t cook.
My calendar is basically empty until school starts the end of August… with a few exceptions…. luncheons with several friends whom I’ve neglected in the past months…. two homeschool planning meetings…. and a five-day visit from a college friend with her family. That is pretty empty for me. With all those empty boxes on the calendar… (you knew I couldn’t sit still!).. I’ve decided the walls in the kitchen, family room, downstairs hall, upstairs hall and loft need a fresh coat of paint. Really. They are quite disgusting. They were white five years ago. Mr. Clean Magic Eraser has worn through to the gray layer of sheet rock. It’s time. And I have all these willing slaves helpers lying around. Perfect!
Since I’m planning on painting… why not redecorate too??? I’m not buying new furniture, although I would love to, let’s move all this heavy furniture around and around a few times. Just for fun! I do want to add some color to the family/kitchen area. And I’ve never done cute valances in the family room. I’m thinking paint, fabric, pillow forms….maybe some framed Greek ocean photos… and I’ll have a new oasis for under $150.
I already have “before” pictures taken. So I’ll keep you up on the transformation of the Crosby’s drab living situation.
On your marks. Get set. GO!
