I have:
A painting whim.
A decorating whim.
A cooking/baking whim.
A repurposing furniture whim.
A photography whim.
A teacher whim.
A graduate student whim.
And yes. A mommy whim.
At any given time my mind is bouncing in a million directions and I have multiple lists of house decorating/organizing projects, To Do's, meal plans & recipes, pictures I want to take/learn to take/edit/create photo books with, and Pinteresty projects to set up for my kiddos. I'm researching grad school programs and trying to decide exactly which direction I want my career to go in... Once I go back to work.
And I think (often) how much nicer my little life would be without so many whims.
If I had no whims:
My house would be clean.
My kids would have a very consistent daily schedule.
Supper would be on the table before 10 pm.
I might wear make-up/fix my hair (probably not)
There would not be an unpainted shelf sitting in the garage that I made my hubby build.
My guest room would have a bed for guests instead of disassembled furniture.
We could park both cars in our garage...
But if I had no whims:
I would miss the opportunity to meet so many people in my small city.
My girls wouldn't learn the fun in taking risks and making mistakes.
My house would just be a house.
I would have many fewer pictures of my girls.... Like thousands fewer.
And so now I'm on to a new whim. Okay- an additional whim. Because let's be honest. I'm not letting go of my past whims. I'm going to try and turn this little outlet blog of mine into a REAL blog. This is my 2nd blog (I started with my single life blog "See Me Beautiful on Tumblr) and it's plainly outdated since we are now the Walton4. So my next blog will probably be the Kreative Whim blog because I have no clue what I'll write about but it leaves room for all the whims:)
But who knows- I may be posting here for a while until I learn the ropes!
