Said with 3 year old slur and delight, hands out and palms up… eyebrows raised in excitement. Yes, that’s M’s new thing right now (along with wrapping her lips around her teeth and gumming us to death for “bug bites” and calling out to me “momma…momma… MADRE!”
Anyway… VOILA! The room, she is finished!! My dear daughter helped me paint the top coat in my bedroom (all day project) while dear son kept little bit entertained. They even stayed up till 12 last night while I hung 1 Roman Shade ( urg… I hate hanging blinds!!), just to make sure I didn’t drill a hole in my finger or fall off the stepstool. Lucky for me, I only busted my knee through a pane of glass. Even luckier, the windows have to be open right now anyway (no ac here). How’s that for looking on the bright side? Maybe I can post a picture soon. But I haven’t been very good about that lately, have I?
Whenever you need some practice, you can come help me paint. . .Of course, I think I’m going to wait until Lila dies (it’s a dog, people, don’t get upset) and the boys mature. . .It seems, here, that one project begets another. . .I really need to wallpaper, but then the trim would look scruffy, then the next room would be scruffy, then while we’re at it, I’d like the bathrooms redone. . .BTDT 5 yrs ago. . .
Well, you know… what’s the difference? Dog? Cow? They all die eventually. LOL (and being snarky all at once… see I CAN do it!).
:):)
So, when I get done with my ever expanding laundry list of things to do around this fixer-upper (no, that’s character)… I’ll toddle on over and help you. 5 years MIGHT be enough time. LOL Well, no.. wait… My Dear Heart has been working on the upstairs bathroom remodel for almost 4 years. Better give me 10 years before you start looking for me.
