Today I finally started to prime the walls in the powder room. I was gung-ho come 9am. I threw Matthew in front of the XBox (I know, bad mommy), got my supplies out, took my last sip of coffee, and off I went.
I forgot what a joy it is to paint.
*Laying the tarp down but having no luck with it staying in place.
*Trying to find the tool to open the can with.
*Realizing I forgot to grab a stir stick at the store.
*Not having a step ladder.
*Priming over an area I didn't sand down properly.
*Being unable to disconnect the light fixture and getting paint on it.
*Nearly breaking my back almost falling off the folding chair.
I'm really looking forward to putting on the second coat of primer tomorrow. It is really a gift to paint, being lost in my own thoughts.
You make me smile!
ReplyDeleteLove this, Kathleen! And you make me smile, too! Now if I lived closer, I could come over and help while the little ones played. Or, more likely, I could come over with muffins and coffee and keep you company! : )
ReplyDeleteOh Kathleen!! I was laughing so hard while reading this!!! I can't wait to see the finished product!
ReplyDeleteLol...you crack me up!
ReplyDeleteI loved this. At least you had that few minutes this morning to look forward to it. I already know how much I hate it and dread the project. But next time I might try the graffiti to see if it makes it any better ;)
