I have two weeks left before I finish school! (This week and next week) And I am so excited. I can't wait to be done. After 7 years, I am going to be a college graduate. That feels good. School has been hard to get through so I feel an extremely huge sense of accomplishment.
I also have two weeks before I get to relax and play house again. I can't wait to pick up my slack on house keeping and baby girl time. Poor girly has been sadly under appreciated this last semester. As has my house. There will be some serious scrubbing going on here pretty soon. I wish I could paint my apartment walls. They are so yucky looking. I had to scrub the walls not too long after we moved in because they were still covered in filth from the last tenants. They still look so dirty even though they are cleaner now. James and I joke often about what we will have in a house someday. We say things like we will get all new tubs and toilets and sinks because it's gross to use someone else's. We want all new carpets (if we do carpet) and all new wood floors,... after forty years, wood floors just look awful. We may even go with tile or stained concrete. And we will have freshly painted walls that aren't stained from cigarette smoke or other unspeakable messes left by others. AND THE KITCHEN- will be my special baby. Granite counters! Deep and wide sinks, maybe a viking stove and oven. And then the back yard is going to be spacious and we'll have a hammock or tree bed swing. And we want a garden and flower bed. All kinds of wonderful stuff. Dreaming helps with what we have now and also keeps our sense of humor in tact.
There is also now only two weeks left before I can pull out my craft projects without feeling guilty. They won't cut into my homework time then. Ah, my poor crafts have all been shoved away in boxes waiting patiently for the day I will come back for them and finish them. I feel like a surgeon who quit in the middle of an operation and... wait... maybe that's not quite the right picture. But it's driving me crazy wanting to finish them!
But with school done I have more time for other things that need my attention and things I want my attention for. I am sure that I will still be just as busy as before. But with a cleaner house! Yeay for cleanliness!
TWO WEEKS!!!!!!!!
