My sister and her husband have graciously (and bravely) offered to watch our kiddos for a weekend in July. The question is..what to do with the free time?? I am having evil thoughts of finally finishing the painting job in our upstairs hallway. But is that smart? Spending a precious child-free weekend painting? I figure I could paint during the day and stop around 4pm. Then we'd have the evenings to play. It would feel sooo good to have it done and fresh. My upstairs is starting to look really gross and the fingerprints on the walls are driving me bonkers.
But I am afraid I won't be able to stop. Because, you see, my bedroom is way over due for a paint job, and so is the playroom. And I am so sick and tired of my bedroom curtains. I saw some really nice fabric today that I could use as an inspiration piece. I would definitely re-arrange the furniture in there too, because, hey why not?
And then I will want to rearrange the playroom, because the kids are bigger now, and they don't need all the stuff out all the time. And we could really use the extra closet space. And why not just use the opportunity to get rid of some of that junk? Moving all the furniture to paint and re-organize will let me see lots of the yucky carpet and I will want to - as Becky well-stated it - "pull it up with a fork and burn it".
Hmm, at the end of the mouse book, doesn't he end up where he started? I probably should stick with the hallway, and put down the paint brush. And back away slowly.

I believe you should choose one project. See it through from beginning to end and go out to a nice meal to celebrate your accomplishment.
Too funny! I say pick the one that is hardest to complete with kids around. Then yes, do something fun. Which sister? Stephie?
Well the hallway has been the biggest pain in my side. I will get that done. It would make me the happiest. :)
And yes, it is Stephie. Love her!!
