Procrastinating

When we painted the girls' room last fall we left the closet doors off their closet. The dresser is in the closet and I sort of thought that leaving the doors off would encourage them to keep the closet tidier than I've seen their closet in the past. Julia even said she liked looking at their stuff in there!

Now, I want the doors back on.

I'm a little afraid of what will get just thrown in and hidden behind closed doors. Which wouldn't be a horrible thing... until the time comes when one of them will inevitably lose something they really need at the bottom of the pile and nerves will be frazzled before it's found. Even that doesn't sound too horrible until I realize that it's my nerves that will be frazzled.

Well, the doors need to be painted. And before that, sanded. And I've started... but I'm taking a break.

I was reading Andrea's blog about the Dinner Spinner and thinking how great that would be. Something to tell me what to fix for dinner. Not someone. Something. And when a dinner I didn't want popped up I could wrinkle my nose and say 'Nope!' and try again without having to consider feelings. It would be kind of like the Spinner was reading my mind and telling me what I really want to cook. I think I'd like that.
