From time to time, I get in a "mood".  I'm sure we all experience it and I suppose it is somewhat a need for change and excitement.  A need to find some thrill in the every day.  Sometimes these "moods" lead me to minor changes like trimming my bangs, rearranging furniture or cleaning the fridge.  Sometimes the changes are larger, like a spur of the moment road trip, or maybe one or two of our children.  I have found that now that I have kids and am a little older and a little more tired, the major things don't happen as much.

 This weekend, I woke up in a "mood".  Sean is in the middle of a long stretch of work and with no use of the vehicle, the days were starting to melt together.  I needed a change.  My energy was so great that I imagine I may have made it to the mexican border, if it weren't for the fact that I have children to tend to.  I wandered the house searching for my inspiration and when I walked into my bedroom, I found it.   I needed to paint!  Every since we moved in, the walls have been a dingy white.  There was no style or flair to our bedroom and it is a room that lacks feel.  I found a can of paint that we had bought in the summer, and had yet to use and I set to work while the kids happily watched a movie downstairs, during the day nonetheless!  I dragged furniture across the room, painted as quick as I could and by lunch I had a new bedroom.  I'm pleased with the results and feel like our bedroom will be a cozier place to be.  I suppose Sean is used to me by now because he barely flinched when he returned home from work and turned the light on.  He is pleased with the look too.  My mood passed as quickly as it came and now I am back to more even pace, with a newly painted bedroom.  :)
