Are you a furniture mover?

Are you a furniture mover? You know, around the house? I am. I move my furniture around ALL THE TIME!!! I don't really know why... not sure if there is a reason.  I just start to get that twitchy feeling.  I start looking at the furniture and the rest of the "stuff" around the house and I start thinking, "Is there a better way?"

I know that I get it from my Mom... she is a furniture mover too!  So is one of my sisters.  I don't think anyone else suffers from this condition - YET, but they are still young and we have lots of life left! (I am the oldest of 6 siblings, so I doubt only 2 of us inherited this condition! hahahaha!!!) Every time I go to visit my parents something has been moved around in their house, rooms have changed functions, new furniture has been switched out for the old, something has been repurposed, etc...

Baby Boy's Room - in process!

Everything I mentioned about my parents' house applies in my home too. Right now, I am in the process of changing two of my kids' bedrooms.  A dear friend gave us a bed to replace my daughter's broken one.  As it turns out, the new bed works better in the baby's room, which has resulted in me needing to rearrange two rooms!! Plus the shelf in the baby's closet broke... I didn't realize if I stacked board games to the ceiling it would be too heavy!! I always figured... if it fits.... hahahaha! Enough said! My hubby likes to say I know how to fit five pounds of sugar in a three pound sack!

When my Mom comes to visit, my husband will ask us a very important question before he leaves for work, "What are you moving around today?" He knows if you put the two of us together we are going to figure out a way to rearrange something!! And my hubby simply wants to be prepared for when he gets home! I am extrememly lucky that he supports me in just about everything.  Even if he thinks one of my ideas is a little wacky, he is willing to try it out before criticizing. 

Truth is... my husband is not a visionary! He just can't see it in his head. I can try to explain or draw it out as much as possible, however, until I actually move things around, put the color on the wall, repurpose the furniture, etc, he really has no idea what I'm talking about.  Luckily... he is so laid back that he just goes with it. If he REALLY doesn't like something he speaks up, but for the most part, he knows I will just change it all again in a few months because I have a new vision!

And then there are the holidays which are quickly on the way... and that means... TIME TO DECORATE! YAY!!! Time to make room for a tree, put up lights, (inside and out) take down the every day decor and replace it with shiny, twinkling holiday goodness!!! Ohh Ohh Ohhhh... it makes my hands tingle with excitement. My heart is beating faster just thinking about it!! Seriously, is there something wrong with me?

I am one of those weird people that likes change! Not just in my house but in life as well. I simply get bored with the same old thing. I wonder if I will always be this way. Is there something else in my life that is lacking which in turns causes me to fill the void by moving furniture? I don't know. While you are pondering this mystery... I am off to rearrange!
