Everything from the toys to the kind of carpet and paint. I also really need some good online sources for this.


Answer
Well, the sites below are a start...One of the fav Dr Offices for my Son had 3-4-5 foot size plywood cutouts in bright colors lining the walls, giraffe, pink elephant, zebra etc. In one large corner was a carpet covered wooden physical play area with large holes and ramps for the kids to crawl in and out of. The top platform was about 4 ft high by about 6 ft wide for a sitting area, when they reached the top. Easy enough for the parent to get their kid. Had wide stairs along the wall side for toddlers to climb to the top with a small railing a parent could reach over. In another corner was a child sized table with books and crayons to keep the minds and hands occupied. Toys were various for different ages in large containers and baskets. Seems like if we had to wait for an hour or longer for the Doctor to catch up on his appointments the time went by very quickly. AND big EYE signs posted that the parents were responsible to keep an eye on their children, several of these would be appropiate.....Commercial bright colored carpet with extra padding in the play area for sure, Primary colors in 6-8" stripes horizonal above the solid grey walls where the animal cut outs are and add some fun stuff in the ceiling, that is always forgotton and left boring.....Good Luck (How fun to do this)

how do you get your inspiration into writing when you take care of two kids during the day and work at night?

Answer
I've been wondering that myself...All I can think about is writing my story - it keeps me up at night, wakes me up in the morning and keeps me going throughout the day. But by the time I get home from work and put the baby to bed...the day takes it's toll, I'm exhausted. Sometimes I just can't shut it off...I end up burning the midnight oil, writing until 2:00am then waking up at 6:00...When I was first laying down the outline of the story I would take my lap top to whichever room I was playing w/ the baby in. I would type until he got bored with his toys and started bugging me to play with him - then I would just shut it off and put it away for later. If an idea hit me I would jot it down in my notepad and write it in on the computer later after he went to sleep. I would also take my portable hard drive to which I saved the story and write during my lunch breaks. My husband was kind enough to give me some down time and I would use every minute of it to write - which is why the house looks like a tornado hit it and I have nothing to wear because shopping & cleaning just didn't seem that important...Something's got to give...you can't do everything. Use the time when you're not feeling too inspired or when you've hit a block to clean and take care of the every day stuff. And get your kids to enjoy some more independent activities, depending on their age, like drawing, reading, playing games by themselves...Good luck.
