....Trading Spaces

I've spent the better of 2 weeks doing nothing but packing and painting. Ill have pics up when I unpack that box, but for the most part...Its looking really good. Did some sponging in the living room and Sarah room, my room isn't finished yet. Today we sanded (I say we...HA!!! That's a joke)another story, another time)...Anyway....I sanded the walls today and primed them, this week I'm getting the paint and I'm hoping the ceiling tile will be put in too so that will complete everything. I'm going with some bold colors too to that room. Gold's and purples, greens and dark reds....I'm hoping it will look nice. I've seen pictures of it and it looks nice in the pics. So we'll see.

you know...I have time...Going to vent here folks....

yesterday (Saturday) Sarah was upset because we put down the floor tile without her. She had to work....I didn't, so my roomy and I did it. I can understand her disappointment, but we got the tile and we wanted it done and I didn't want to wait. So we did it. Her complaint was that on the weekends we sleep really late and she never gets to do anything because she has to work on weekends. Understandable....So today...Sunday...We got up at 6 am. was at Wal-Mart by 7:15am to get the sander and primer paint, then we shot over to Menards to get another box of floor tile and then panera bread for some bagels. We were at the house by 9am where my roomie was busy doing her Sunday morning stuff waiting for the bagels. they were yummy.

after breakfast we go downstairs and sarah for the first time sees the floor and loved it. my bedroom has stuff/garbage that needed to be taken out and so I put sarah on that while my roomie and I got busy with the floor tile. (shes limber and can do the floor stuff....I handed her the tile. exhausting I tell ya) so Sarah doing her thing...were doing our thing...everything is groovy and then I see sarah standing at the doorway watching us. one of her things to do was scrape up the stucco that got on the floor......she did one spot and stopped to watch us. my patience is now wearing quite thin and I made her aware of this. So she went back to work. 5 minutes later...standing at the door watching us. now I'm pissed. So I start to hand her the tiles that I'm holding so that I can finish what she started cuz my patience is now gone.....and she got the hint and went back to work.

so the floor is done and looks really great and now I start to sand the walls. dust everywhere. So of course now she can't be in the room, has a headache and sits down.

then falls asleep.

for about an hour.

I finished sanding and woke her up and asked her if she could put on a load of laundry....she does, then proceeds to help me paint the walls with the primer.

so were making progress...shes working on a wall...I'm on my second....decided....I'm thirsty.

so I go upstairs get a drink, washed my face and hands cuz I'm covered in dust that I can taste it....I decided to go sit outside on the steps and enjoy the breeze with my water. ten minutes later I go to the kitchen and eat the half of bagel that I left from breakfast and went back downstairs to get yelled at....."YOU COULD HAVE MADE ME ONE!!!"...I tell her its my half from breakfast and then ......

to be continued.....
