Well, I finally started my first blog, even if it was for a class. This is supposed to be my online journal and so... it is. Today was a bit of a busy day. I woke up demanding my honey go to the store for breakfast. Okay, really it was more like a subtle suggestion, "Hey baby? I think you should go to the store." The cool thing was he not only went but also made his famous egg and cheese stuffed tortillas. Yum!
Around noon, I took my 11 yr old and my 8 yr old, along with his little girlfriend to the Virginia Marine Science Museum and met my sister and my nephew there. Everything went pretty well it was about time to leave. I was leading the pack, the kids trailing behind me, into the exit area. The exit was cleverly designed as a gift shop, and the kids all took off for the toy section, where we momentarily lost my nephew. He wasn't really lost but instead was kneeling on the floor of a gadget display and was surrounded by other people also checking out the cool toys and blocking our view our the lad.
When we finally got home, I was forced to accept the help of my 8yo and 11 yo to prime the walls in my dining room. We finally got the house put back together from the nor'easter that wiped out the north wall of the house. I figured if they are going to help paint, it should be the primer paint bec. I am so picky about the final paint job.
It kills me when people offer to paint, and you try to graciously turn them down and say, "I just really like to paint on my own, that way if there are any mistakes I have no one else to blame but myself." This is the point where your helpful friend goes, "Oh me too. I hate it when people leave colored spots on the ceiling." Meanwhile I am thinking.... so why are there so many mistakes in your house? It never fails too. The people trying to help me all have bloopers right in the entry way of their house!!! If you are reading this, "YES! People notice those mistakes immediately!!!" Anyhow, if you have young children dying to help you paint be aware the paint will magically appear on the handles of your rollers, brushes, your hair and the side of the dog somehow. Have that damp cloth at the ready to wipe up those mistakes too!
