Yesterday, Amelie asked me when the hamsters were coming home from hamster school.
Damn it!
I told her, "When they get their diplomas!" And, again, she asked me if the whole thing was real. I was driving, so luckily I didn't have to look her in the eye. I just sort of waved my hand in the air, dismissing it and exclaimed, "Of course it is!"
Then it got really quiet back there. So I did what any good mom would do, and turned up Lady Gaga nice and loud.
There goes my mother of the year award.
Our move date is 3 weeks from tomorrow. I'm dreading it, even though the place is nicer than where we are right now. It's a two-story town home, and the master bedroom is larger. We get our own front door with a stoop, which is pretty cool. I have big plans to decorate for every holiday.
I know it's going to be a great change. We're moving there for the better school system and the rent comes in $100 below our budget. Don't even ask how much it is. For most of you, our rent in L.A. will be the equivalent to two mortgages combined anywhere else.
But, it is what it is.
I'm currently priming all the walls that Tom and I so painstakingly painted two years ago. It got me thinking, maybe I shouldn't paint the walls in the next place. And then I thought, no, I like design waaaay too much to leave the walls plain white. What I'll probably end up doing is painting bold stripes on one wall as an accent, and leave the other's white. Kind of like this:
Wish me luck!
