As I was sitting on the couch last night typing away with the "Beats" headphones on-yes I had to name drop because they seriously are the most amazing headphones I have EVER put on my head! When I turn them up loud it is like I am front row to the speakers they literally are thrumming against my ears. It is incredible. But back to the topic now... I realized while wearing these headphones that I am limited in motion. I can't easily stand up and dance around like I would have wanted to while listening to an AMAZING Pandora playlist. Something I think Pandora plays the best songs when I'm trying to work because it wants me to just stand up and dance.
Unfortunately being trapped with headphones that are charging, and my phone and no pockets I have limited options on movement. And then I thought how nice would it be to have my own room where I could just play my music over my speakers and be able to get up and dance whenever I wanted because I wasn't being held down by my devices. Ok so maybe this would cause me to be even less productive than I am already but sometimes I just need to dance... I take that back, I ALWAYS need to dance. I'd dance every second of every day if I could. And a lot of time I am. I am always humming to myself or dancing to a song playing in my head. Music seems to help my creativity flow and there's been a lot of music playing lately...
But my problem is where am I going to have my own space where I can turn on my music, plop my computer on a desk and just dance my heart away? It's 11pm or later when this happens. I can't exactly blast my speakers in the house or anything cause then I would have to deal with the backlash of that from Mike and the kids. So I have figured out my own solution. I need some sort of outside indoor sanctuary. I need a place where I am free to get up and dance to my music at a reasonably loud level at any time of the night when creativity happens to strike. I can't sit outside and blast music because it will wake up the kids and the neighbors. I need some type of area away from the house that is enclosed enough to be able to do everything I need to do.
So maybe I have figured out a solution but I don't exactly know how to act on that. We are renting and I know there are rules about building a building out back of here. And I'm sure there are permits needed to be pulled to even put a damn shed out in the back yard. Yes I would suffer the confinement of a shed if it meant I had free reign of music and decent dancing space. So... my only hope is that when we move into our own place later this year that I can somehow bat my eyelashes at Mike and add my own private room detached from the house into the backyard. It's not like I am asking for much more. I mean I have only asked for a pool, an open floor plan, a bathroom with a toilet in its own closet, a certain minimum of rooms and square footage, and most likely a remodel of all flooring, cabinets and countertops for a used home, oh and lets not forget paint and landscape. So one more little thing shouldn't be hard right?
If only there were an easier solution. Maybe just giving the kids away to someone would be better, then I'd get my own room and I would have no music limitations, or any other limitations. Man that giving the kids up idea just keeps looking better every day. I wonder if every other parent struggles with some of these problems? Or am I just too selfish that I want my cake, and his cake, and her cake, and that cake, and this cake, and to eat them all too?
