It's been a whirlwind, that's for sure. Ok, not week. Weeks. Months. Years. But ever since recital season started...oy! So much to do anyway, but with the added surgical deadline, it's been crazy. I do think I sometimes push too hard on the projects I want to get done (often at Mark's expense). I tend to underestimate the time needed to complete something, and exaggerate the importance of said thing.
But that being said, Mark finished the adirondak chairs he's wanted to make since Bush 41 was in office(which are stunning, by the way), and Anna's room has been painted (including the closet) and her furniture moved/shifted (including her baby-now doll) cradle upstairs, which makes me sad. (Also making me sad...and afraid...is the amount of sorting and cleaning up that still needs to be done; I can't believe Hoffa wasn't located in her closet.)
Her bedroom has been in a steady transition for years now. It went from baby room, to toddler room, to preschool room, to little kid room, to kid room, now it's tween room. The pink walls--out. They're now a stunning blue lavendar. The doll cradle--out. The puffy fabric balloons on the wall--out. I guess it could be worse. She could be asking to put up Justin Beiber posters or something. I should count my blessings.
Speaking of blessings, yesterday a great friend of ours came over for a few hours. We picked Lloyd up at the ferry, walked around a little and got some of PT's finest food (pizza and cupcakes) and enjoyed a picnic at the park. The weather was pristine, the park was full and happy, and so was I! Great for three busy people to be able to just take a break and enjoy one of God's greatest blessings, friendship.
