Is there a write way or a wrong way?

So, I'm still procrastinating on writing my paper for my class.  I have absolutely no idea why.  I should have it already done by now.  So ironic.  I could whip this puppy out in no time.  I know I can.  So why not?  Principle?  What gives?

I don't even have a topic yet.  I have come up with a topic I feel very strongly about.  Children's issues are a very strong topic for me.  These past couple of days I have been questioning my choice to switch from Social Work to Accounting.

I have no doubt that I have a certain connection with children which is unmistakable.  I would make an amazing therapist but this terrible migraine has shown me that I do not think my physiology can handle the emotional demands of becoming a therapist and the baggage that it would require me to carry.  The fact that I would have my own outlet to release to would not be enough.  I would still carry too much of their burden with me and I am concerned that my migraines would be unbearable.  As if it is not bad enough to have been status migrainosus since January of this year.  I cannot imagine how I could endure, despite the good I might be able to do in the lives of my patients.

We had a second Life Safety Inspection today and we passed completely.  The only thing Di Anne asked us if we could do is get a twin bed for an older child.  We've been considering some bunk beds anyway.

This set from Ikea would work.  It is only $159.00.  Or maybe we could just get a little twin bed for now.  Maybe something like this one.

But this one is as much as the bunk beds!  It is pretty though!  $149.99.  Hmmm...they do have a cheaper option but it would probably not suit a child up to the age of eight.  

Or maybe I'm just biased.  I dislike the white in between the slats of beech.  The bed frame is $59.99.  

The nursery crib is beech but I am planning to stain it soon.  If I get something in beech, I am going to want to stain it dark.  The nursery trim is dark.

I should just post some pics of the nursery.  I've been promising family pics for a very long time.  I still need to put up the planets and constellations on the ceiling...so, it is not quite complete yet but it looks pretty good.

Here goes nothing!

The trim is all dark but the dresser is a corresponding lighter shade.  I'll be staining the crib to match also.  It is a lot of work but you have no idea how much work I've already done getting this room ready!

Those windows had to have 50 years of pain stripped off of them!!  It was awful!  Mom and I spent a week working on TWO windows!  Not to mention the fact that we stripped the brown paint off of my new Argon filled dual-pane glass windows.

See my beautiful new tile floor?  Brother Montgomery and my ward family from church came and put that in for us for free on their service day.  It was an honor and a privilege to be helped with this project.  We will always be grateful for their love and help.

 You see the rockets and the bi-plane?  I painted those.  Their final destination is suspended from the ceiling.  If you did not catch it in the in one of the earlier photos, the ceiling is called Neptune Blue.  Very appropriate, I think.  You'll see why in a second!

See my pretty bi-plane?  I sanded down the prop to make it more aerodynamic, like a real one.  If I had thought about I probably would have sanded down the wing tips too but then again who needs that much realism in a child's toy...aka bird house?  It's destiny is flying high in the skies of our nursery.

And now you have it!  This is why Neptune Blue is the most appropriate color for the nursery ceiling.  I wish I had larger planets but these will have to do for now.  I am also planning to organize the stars in real constellations.  I know it is a lot of work for a child's room but why not?

I see nothing wrong with a child growing up looking and recognizing what they see in the sky because they saw it on their ceiling.  Children are such sponges when they are little.  When you take into account the first childhood that the children we will be taking in have, they need every advantage we can possibly give them.

If I cannot give them the moon and stars, why not all the curiosity in the world?

And last but not least, Fleur says she's "keepin' da crib wahm."

I guess that's about it for me.  Goodnight.
