Picking out paint for the boys room...I've been thinking about something that my cousin said many years ago. She had been on bed rest for both of her pregnancies. I remember hearing her talk about how she really realized how much the interior and colors of your home affect your mood. Staring at the walls day after day this realization came to her. After her two kids were a little older she even went back to school and got her degree in Interior Design.
I've been thinking about that a lot lately. The interior of your house really does play on your mood. When the walls are boring and drab and that's what you look at all day you start to feel a little boring and drab. I've noticed that I have a total of six pictures hung on my walls... in the entire house! Lots of empty sad walls going on here.
I've been dragging my feet on getting this place decorated. I've been focusing a lot on getting the paint up but not much past that. I have lots of excuses why I haven't gotten this done. The biggest one is that I'm afraid that I'm going to spend time and money trying to decorate something and then not like it. That is the current situation in our bedroom. So as I've been sitting here staring at the walls I've been trying to fine tune my ideas and what I really want to do. Then I'm going to do it! Soon! As in... next week.
My first big project is going to be the boys room. Since we will have two boys I'm going to have them share a room. Our third bedroom was used as a weight room by the previous owners so it has a rubber floor in there. I don't really want to put a kid in there without carpet... actually now that I think about it a rubber kid room might not be too bad!!! We aren't ready to get new carpet yet, plus I think that it's good for kids to share a room. And truth be told, I really really like having my own craft room. So when little brother is sleeping through the night he is going to move into Tru's room. I'm really excited about the things that I want to do in there.
Some of you might be wondering how I'm going to do all this when I'm suppose to be on bed rest. I wonder that too... but I don't think that it will be too bad. At my last doctors appointment he said that I can start doing a little more everyday, but still take it super easy. So I've been doing a load of laundry here and there, dishes but still mainly using paper plates. That type of a thing. I hope that in the coming weeks I'm able to do more and more and get this placed pulled together. Things are looking up but they are not all better yet... I'm trying to learn to be patient. While I'm learning that, I'm going to be getting ready to make quilts, paint more walls, and hang pictures of those I love to surround my family everyday.

Good luck...try to take it easy! Emmit and Howard shared a room from the time he starting sleeping through the night. Henry has his own room though...he's not as good of a sleeper so we are not sure we want to throw him in there with them. It would be nice to have a craft room though.
So when they say bed rest, are you literally supposed to be laying down all day? How much can you get up and move around? Honey, if I had the money, I'd fly to Vegas and take care of yoU!
