Oh what a night!


So it’s been a long, long night/morning. The good news, I picked up Aspen - it was nice having him in the house. I got supplies for painting the kids rooms, and came home to the railings being installed. So cool. From there, the fun really started. To start, you can see the kid's closet doors in the garage, and just below there is a teeny, tiny spot of white paint on the garage floor. I have my father’s knack for being clumsy at times and last night was one of them. Just like my dad, I sometimes get going too fast and make a “small” mistake. Yep, looks like I have a new project for the summer – painting the garage floor. Nothing like spilling a quart of oil-based primer! Bugger. Oh well, clean it up a little and got Isla and Mason’s closets and closet doors primed. I also decided to paint the interior of Isla’s closet white. It was all marked up and it now really sparkles. By the time I had everything painted it was about 12:30am.

The problem is that I was probably a little woozy from the paint fumes. I had a headache, but forgot to take my Tylenol. Probably why I couldn’t sleep until 2:30am. So I thought I would sleep in a little. Nope. 6:15am I was up – so I decided to keep painting. I was able to paint everything for the kids’ closets. So tonight I can work I installing everything. The good news is that it shouldn’t be that bad. If I have time, I’ll also get the new door to Mason’s room installed and trimmed out. If I can accomplish all this, I should have no problem having the kids’ rooms ready by Thursday night for their Friday return. Maybe I’ll even be able to take down the crib in Mason’s room. Maybe!!

Today the spindles for the railings are going in. I can’t wait to see them tonight.
