Believe it or not, today has been the first time in a about the month that I have been absent from blogging that I have more than a 2 hour timeframe to do things around the house, relax, watch tv, read, and anything else you do when you are at home and have time to do things. So here I am, after a morning of babysitting and a few hours at work...the dishwasher running, the laundry going (I should actually go put another load in), the tv on, and now I'm blogging. It feels nice :)
So TLC was on earlier, don't even remember what was on because I wasn't watching it at the time, but I happen to catch a commercial - a TLC baby commercial. And then I started daydreaming about babies as I continued with the things I had to do around the house...
As I day-dreamt (by the way, did you know that dreamt is the only word in the English language that ends in mt?? neat fact, I know!), I realized that I'm way crazy. Just as girls day dream about their wedding (the beautiful gown, the perfect location, the colors, the flowers, etc, etc), I daydream about future baby related things! So I can honestly say, I daydream more about kids than I ever did about a wedding. Yes, I'm that crazy. I loved my wedding, it was so wonderful; I just can't say that it was everything I dreamt of because I really did not dream about it. If I did, I don't remember a thing.
But for those who did daydream about the details of their future wedding, I imagine the way I was daydreaming earlier about future baby Norman's room has just about the same passion and desire (I don't think that sentence made sense, so I apologize if I don't go back and fix it). Let me see if I can write out a portion of my day dream....
"I really hope we have a baby boy first. I want to paint the room orange, not a bright orange nor a burnt orange, but somewhere in between; I'm sure I'll find that perfect shade. The furniture should be dark brown. The color scheme will be orange, blue and brown. Either stripes or dots...guess it depends on the fabric I find for the bedding. Ooooh it'll be so fun to register for cute stuff for the baby room - babies r us and pottery barn it will be! I want to get those big hanging wall letters for the baby's name to hang on top of his crib. A bookshelf would be nice; bookshelves look so nice in baby rooms."
I probably carried this dream on for some time, and then I think to myself, "I'm more excited about a baby room than an actual baby!" Hmmm.....see I AM crazy.
I think I have big urge to paint right now...paint any room. The orange baby room will have to wait, so I think I should paint the guest bath or the game room. Maybe I'll give myself a mini project for labor day weekend (if Jake helps and approves of a color and helps me shop for the things I need :) ). Now I'm excited...I'll post pics of whatever I end up doing, or I'll just blog about the reason that I ended up not doing :P
Happy Saturday everyone!
I don't daydream like that, though it sounds fun :)
ReplyDeleteYesterday, we went shopping for a family here who's having a baby mid-next month. They don't have much stuff for the baby and we wanted to help out some. After going to 3 baby stores looking for the things we wanted to get (nothing good here like Babies R Us), I felt like I was nesting. I got home and cooked dinner for John and me as well as a separate dinner for Beni (he's sick and I have to make him plain chicken and rice for his meals), and meanwhile, I ran a load of laundry and did the dishes. I was also thinking about how I wanted to make two different dessert or breads for John's office and mine and how fall is coming up so I need to bake pumpkin bread. Ah, being domestic :)
Anyway, painting sounds fun! I look forward to seeing photos of your newly painted room if you decide to go through with it. John and I have been talking about painting our living room and bedroom since June but haven't done it. Maybe once the cold weather strikes and we're trapped inside more, we'll have more motivation to get it done.
