Outlets

We all need em.

Currently we are trying to convert the top floor of the house into a den where people can go when they need to chillaroo.  Which is pretty much everyone all the time. We had been trying to sell the house but we have to work with what we have. So we live in an old house that has the low ceilings and the smallish rooms because back in the day everyone was a midget.  Unfortunate for Amazon Mama going down the stairs.  Oh? this staircase twists?  What fun!  Let's see if I can come out alive everyday.  Fun stuff.

We have two staircases and one twists.  But all of our children are living.  Yahoo!  I say, job well done, mama.  The staircase, in and of itself, while certainly useful, is a practice in gymnastics and faith.  Our house is the house you want to play hide and seek in because it has nifty little closet spaces and strange spidery nooks.

So we are putting a tv up on the third floor and painting and we will have a little haven, cove, outlet, for people in the fam of five who need to not be near the other people in the fam of five, if that makes sense.  We are bringing the technology all up in the 1850s.  Computer, tv, tablet, cell phone,  a couple of Starbursts, and I am all set.  Helen said, "It's like a magical treehouse."

And that IS what I was thinking!
