Ever take a day off work with great big plans to accomplish great big things, complete projects and generally press the 'reset' button on a life out of control? I do. Even though it never helps, and the projects never get done, and I usually end up sitting in the hammock under a tree reading trashy romance novels and drinking 'iced tea'.....
Today's big plan was to clean and redecorate Lawrence's room. He had a couple overnights and then a birthday and then boxes of goodies from both grandmothers. All sorts of new stuff with no designated 'place', which means it is piled in the center of the room like some evil junk-monster,just waiting to trip, scratch, and generally annoy. As the pile got bigger, Lawrence stopped doing much in his room, and as of last night was limited to a small lego structure right in front of the door.
When I suggested he clean his room he got all teary and overwhelmed/panicy sounding, so da-da-ta-da Mom to the rescue! I was going to sort books and toys and clothes and hang shelves and set up a computer and...and...and...where's the damn vodka?
I put a dent in it, but its definitely an unfinished project. Realistically, when 2 full (grown-up size) bookcases of books and 10's of thousands of legos (not kidding) are involved, one day was probably not realistic. Especially not one beautiful day with just the perfect breeze....
trashy romance here I come, the day isn't over yet!
