Aug. 9th, 2010 06:22 pmI took ballet class yesterday for the first time since before Christmas, and every single part of my body is aching. It felt good at the time -- until the last 15 minutes when my brain stopped working, but other than that it was really satisfying.
Today I got my husband to help me start the Big Move I've been plotting for the kids' rooms. The move itself is nothing earthshaking; it's the vast array of STUFF the kids have been collecting. Basically, it involved a three-way dresser swap -- Dan's into Sadie's room, mine into Dan's room, and Sadie's into my room.
Dan's loft bed then needed to move across the room so it could be higher up the straight wall instead of nestled under the knee wall, to give him more space underneath for his desk. Sadie's bed also moved to the other side of her room, where it will be transformed into a lovely curtained retreat, leaving plenty of room for her art.
As of today we have succeeded in moving both beds and two of the dressers. Stuff is EVERYWHERE, which is pretty discouraging, but so far the forward momentum continues. Also there are little pockets of newly efficient and welcoming space to keep me focused on the finished product.
Maybe tomorrow I'll get some photos -- no "before" shots, unfortunately, but I'm expecting some nice "after" ones!
