We're remodeling our kitchen from the ground up. For me, that is more than enough as we live in the reality of having literally no kitchen and no way to prepare food for a busy 18 month old. And it probably explains why my last blog was written in early March. This project has becoming an overwhelming process, one in which I am excited to see the finished product, but stressful none-the-less.
We're expecting baby number 2. We're starting to think about all the things we need to do in the house to prepare for this next baby. Let me count the ways: move the giant desk, bookshelf and piano out of the office which will become a nursery. No room in the house is big enough for all of it, so on top of a new kitchen, Soren will be adapting to new arrangements in almost every room in the house -- including his.
It's a lot for me to think about and adapt to and live with. I can't imagine what my little boy is thinking about all this -- and what he'll think about all the changes to come over the next 8 months.
In all of this, I am learning to deal with the fact that I am not in control. It's a good lesson and an important one for me to learn. It's not just the kitchen we're remodeling, it's not only our furniture that's being rearranged. My attitude and my heart are being remodeled, too. And I look forward to seeing the finished product.
