Or the the Summeryness of the season either for that matter.. OK, we’ve only been in this house for a month and two days, so I’ll cut myself some slack on that one.. Outside on the property though, there are so many things happening that we had nothing to do with, that really indicate the season and give us a sense of a place in time..
Do you always feel like you should know that already?We went camping this weekend and I did that again.. We left on Thursday morning and by Wednesday, mid-day-ish I had already completely lost my composure and was freaking out (to myself and the cat) about how out of control of the packing situation I was.
This was supposed to be the year when I took lots of extra time to make all my preparations just perfect, but that didn’t happen.Why do we even go camping anyway?We live in the country already and we have this house that I spend all this time trying to make welcoming and comfy and now we’re going to leave that, do a whole bunch more work to just get through the day, and come back having lost three days of housework time.”.
So I told myself a bunch of reasons why and they made sense and sounded good enough and all.That kept me going for a few hours, but by later that night I was in full-on freak-out mode again, got over it, and decided to just try to keep a good attitude about it the next day.
I’m exhausting!.
I always go on a little rampage when I wake up in the tent on camping mornings.With a fourth person in the house, we were definitely in need of some more seating so we had the sectional and the chair made in really durable fabrics that can stand up to a little boy jumping all over them and smearing various food products into them all day long.. We really do spend the majority of our time in here playing and hanging out and eating and playing some more so this room really needs to be tough and also comfortable..
The one major thing that we didn’t change in here since last year is the rug.I’ve actually had a lot of people ask me about this rug even though it’s really just a super cheap, basic rug from a big box store.
It came from those bins with the rolls of rugs that are meant to be put in a garage or somewhere really utilitarian.We wanted to get something that we could really make a mess of, basically, and then not feel bad about when it’s time to throw it out in a year or two.
