Monday Morning April 7 - Kids Room

We do most of our living between Friday night and Monday morning.  Monday morning is the time to reflect on the weekend and get back into our week day routine . As I get older it becomes more difficult to get myself  moving on Monday morning.   I guess that is part of what retirement planning is about - letting go of the weekday routine and spreading the rest of your life over seven days!

Huffington Post had an article this week about creative makeovers for  kids rooms once they leave home.  Renovating the room is a real milestone that your son or daughter is not coming home.  It is a marker that a chapter has come to a close.  It really doesn't seem like that long ago.... you were focused on making the perfect nursery for this new baby to come home to and the next thing you know... 20 + years later,  you are dismantling a room full of memories....

The Huffington Post article through facebook asks parents for examples of what they have done with their kids old  room and also publishes kids responses.

For me.... well I am not quite there...  I mostly keep the door closed.  The bed is gone... replaced by boxes of stuff.... storage for paintings.  The baseball photos and trophies still line the walls so ..... part storage part shrine.   I really need to tackle this ....  Put that on my retirement list.....
