The Benefits of Sleeping in a Construction Site

There have to be at least a few benefits of sleeping IN a construction site, right? Well, there are!

1) The design process is happening as you're getting ready for bed, while in bed, while sleeping and when waking up. When lying in bed one night I realized one of the vanity lights and the plug were in the wrong spot.


2) Playing Russian Roulette is a really fun game. It's in the middle of the night and one of my kids is crying, I get up and inch my way through the room trying to avoid dresser drawers, tools, shoes, piles of clothes and laundry baskets getting to the crying child. So far, I've had no stubbed toes, I haven't tripped nor have I gotten any nails, silvers or staples stuck in my feet! 

3) Wearing the same pair of jeans every days is really cool. When do you get to actually wear out your clothes?! I'm getting that chance since I can't find my other pairs of jeans. I swear I had another pair last week, but they're currently lost somewhere in the abyss, so sorry everyone, I hope you like the ones I have on (and will have on) because they're here to stay. And stay. And stay. And stay. And sorry gym friends, that WAS actually the same shirt I wore the day before. I couldn't find any others, so sorry about that smell...


4) My Jenga skills are improving. I get the opportunity to stack some dresser drawers from my bed to the floor every evening, and then again from the floor to my bed every morning. They stack precariously and I balance and stack them with sharp precision. I don't really even like the game Jenga, but now I'll just kill it when I play.


But, since my husband doesn't have a stop/slowdown/rest/take a break mode, I know that this current chaos won't last forever. In fact, it probably won't last even two more weeks. He's most likely motivated by the mess to complete as fast as he can. Three cheers for Neal!
