Yesterday

I took a break yesterday from painting and all of the house stuff and had the best laugh with my kids. It was raining out here and the kids had been standing in the window watching it come down, and looking at all the massive puddles that were forming, and suddenly, I realized that I had never really taken them out to play in the rain. So out we went, into the light drizzle. The kids ran and jumped and splashed like mad little children, thunder rumbling in the distance, for a good 20 minutes. I stood watch, calling out "Car" every once in awhile.

Then, out of the blue (or grey) (wait, is it grey, or gray?) the heavens opened up and it began to POUR! I had done so well, not getting wet at all, and then this. I was soaked, the kids were soaked, and we were all laughing. I opened the garage, and stood inside while the kids continued to play in the rain. At one point, they were on the ground in the driveway making 'water angels' for a good 10 minutes. After that, they dried off, got dressed and headed for the Legos.

I am so glad that I took a break from the house!

Update

Still painting the damn house. I'll be a better blogger when I'm done, I promise!

Hope

I do hope that the person who created wallpaper, especially the 6 inch BORDER paper that does NOT come off, died a horrible death covered in wallpaper paste.

It took me 6 hours to remove the wallpaper border in one bedroom. Not even a huge bedroom, something like 12 x 12 and the equivalent of one wall was not even papered!
