Do you ever look back at the previous week,
and although it SEEMS like you've accomplished
a great deal-it sure doesn't FEEL like it?
Well, that's kind of how last week was for me.
It started when I made the 3 hour trip to my daughter, Mel's on Wednesday.
I had every intention of painting at least two of the three rooms
that afternoon, but patching and sanding the kitchen walls took
a lot longer than I planned.

By late afternoon, I was able to get kitchen painted-thankfully, before
the contractors came and installed the kitchen cabinets the next day!
fixtures, appliances and a farmhouse sink to be installed-but doesn't
the paint color and cabinets look divine?
The next day Mel had to stay home with little Max because
he not only had a nasty summer cold-but he also had pink eye!

So, while Mel worked from home and tended to Max- I lost 5 lbs climbing
up and down the ladder a billion times, painting the dining room!
Okay-maybe that's
Okay-maybe that's
an exaggeration-but by the end of the day-it sure felt like I had! There is
a LOT of wall space in this room!

The hallway between the kitchen and dining room still need to be done-
but once the floor get's one more coat of poly-the kids should be able

to put this room together! I can't wait to share the end results! Mel has
some VERY creative ideas!

My plan the next day was to start painting the living room-but threats of severe
weather changed those plans, and I decided
to head home early. (This gal doesn't like driving in torrential downpours-especially
in bumper to bumper traffic!)
Naturally- halfway home-it started to rain!
(By the way-have you noticed there are a LOT
more semi-trucks on the highway's now a days?)
I have- and let me just
I have- and let me just
say-heavy rain and semi truck tires are not a good mix for
a white knuckle driver like myself!
When I arrived home that afternoon-this is what I found!
Hubby was impatient to get back to painting the trim on our house....
And he had 3 stacks of shutters waiting for SOMEONE to paint!
One stack down-two more to go!
But before I get to them-I have a desk full of paperwork to get through...
emails to answer-2 signs to make-4 DIY projects in the works-
stacks upon stacks
of laundry to wash
and shamefully bare cupboards to fill!
I think I will forget about getting my hair cut shorter. I will probably
pull it all out before I even get to the salon! LOL!
On another note-I'll be sharing some WONDERFUL news about
the blog

VERY soon-so stay tuned!!
Happy Monday!
You know, now that I think about it... there ARE more semi-trucks on the road! Rain can be scary enough as it is, and then add a semi-truck to the mix! Definitely a little nerve wracking, but don't worry, you got this :)
ReplyDeleteRight! I totally agree, LZ! I think I've noticed more trucks since the drop in gas prices! Makes sense, I guess! Thank you so much for the support and stopping by!!
