Another photoless update

There are no pictures in this update because honestly I've taken them with my phone and getting them off requires that I turn off my phone, remove the cover and battery, remove the card, plug it into the computer, download the pics, then put the phone back together. Motorola, SERIOUSLY what were you thinking with this design on the Droid??? I'm too lazy for all that right now so you'll just have to use your imagination. Progress over the last couple days has been slow because of the amount of work that's gone into each project. Henry created a closet for the boys, and I painted all the trim in the upstairs hallway, followed by having him help me paint the stairway. I had a small nervous breakdown when I realized that the color we picked out in the store did NOT look the same when painted on the wall. Don't get me wrong, I do like the color but it's not what I had in mind. The swatch did not look like that color at-all. Lesson learned about not bringing the swatch home and buying a tester. In any event, the color is much better than the previous and I'm good with it. I'm putting the previous paint colors into the "what was I thinking" file and I'm going to forget them. They were kind of like mid-life crisis choices... you know, you feel like getting crazy and make a decision and you dig it for about a month then you realize that it really was not the best thing to do. *Insert what were you thinking look along with shaking of the head here* Unlike that sports car you financed and can't sell or that tattoo you got, the crazy paint decision is more like a bad haircut in that it can easily be changed with a little time. Not really if you shaved your head, but anyway. I've also squeezed in a little work on the nursery mural just for relaxation and a little creative expression. I promise to post pics this weekend so that you can see how things are coming along. Until then, I'll have my preggo rear on a step stool (because Henry is BAD at cutting in and it's only 2 steps up) cutting in hopefully the downstairs hall and maybe the living room today. My mom would remind me of what her grandmother used to tell her about having her hands above her head- "it'll wrap the cord around the baby's head" hehe. I know better so it's ok. I'll also add that we are using NO VOC, low odor paint, so don't freak out that I'm painting while pregnant. I do it every time because as I've said before, I think I have extreme nesting. The kids and I are all fine, mostly ;) Until next time, have fun relaxing while I'm busting it so that I can put these renovations to bed! -Kellie-
