I have been blessed to be able to have my daughter and her family stay with us while they remodel their house. This includes my daughter, her husband, my 3 year old granddaughter and 1 year old grandson. All sleeping in one room. And my amazing daughter is pregnant with another baby boy due in December… with any luck their house will be done before then!
It has been chaos to say the least.
One thing that happened when they moved in last March was I let my son in law use my office to work from during the days because he worked from home and it was all we could do. I thought I can just schedule my stuff for evenings and he was very flexible if I did need to have a day appointment but I just didn’t feel like it was really my space while his stuff was all set up. No ones fault, just a thing.
When my son moved out into his own place in August we were able to move both grandbabies into his room and that created space in the other bedroom for my son in laws desk and office to be moved into the house and for me to get my loft back!!! I spent 2 weeks almost cleaning every nook and cranny and getting settled back in.
It’s been so good for my soul. Playing my gongs every day, or my crystal bowls, or both. Having classes and events again. Having space to work again without the chaos of toddlers. The noise, the mess… it’s not conducive to my work at all.
However I will say it has been great for my heart to be immersed in the joys of baby love. Grandchildren are the biggest blessing my life has known and to have them to enjoy at these fun stages of life is such a gift. My daughter living next door makes it so we will always be able to have this bond with them and these months living together, although hard as fuck, are also a complete blessing and will be looked upon as some really special times always. Family and relationships are where it’s at after all.
With all this being true I am still over the moon happy about having my loft space back again and getting to work on events and with clients. Just having the space to come to be away from the chaos has been a game changer. Thank you Spirit!
Still counting days till the house next door is done LOL
