shhh, Ben's asleep

Tried to show off my accomplishments to my girls ..... grumble, grumble they did. Oh, well. They went to their rooms for the night. Ben fell asleep on the sofa. Shall I go to bed or stay up, knit and putter? Five more days and I go back to work AND being a mom. After the initial days in which I get some rest, I think I then get restless. I feel like I do not know what I want to do - that is, what I want to do that I would mind less being interrupted by kids. Being busier with work and raising the kids fills my mind and time and gives me less options - which, as much as I think I miss doing certain things, is also a sort of blessing. I used to want to scrape wallpaper, paint, stencil, clean, plant. Maybe it's just a time of rest now. If I had walls without painted-over wallpaper, I think I might be more motivated to paint. I love color .... any color than the light blue in the rooms I have not done in this house. The cat in under the table, near my feet, and I hear her purring. I should get up and light candles now that Ben is asleep and unaware to blow them out.

Found spell check for blog entering. Let's see, is there somewhere to attach pictures? As you see, I have discovered, "yep!".  The mailboxes aside of our drive .... playing with the camera. Well, I guess that kitchen's straightening will not get completed unless I complete it. So, to lighting candles and straightening, then some knitting. I almost have Kayla's scarf done.
