No vlog today because all I could really show you is a blue and white jail cell. No kidding! With all the tape on the walls to mark out the stripes it really looks like a blue and white cell. I find it funny because this project is feeling like a life sentence right now.
So to pick up my mood a little before I head in "there" for my 14 feet of servitude I thought I would give you the rundown of how this project has been going - by the numbers.
1 - the number of people currently working on the project.
31/2 - the number of rolls of painter's tape that have given their lives.
3 - the number of children who have provided non-stop interruptions.
2 - the number of drinks that have been spilled on the carpet to date (why do I feel like this is not done?)
851 - the number of times I shot myself in the face with the laser level today.
1,704,269 - the number of times I have climbed the ladder or have
asked my children to please get off the ladder.
asked my children to please get off the ladder.45 - the number of minutes I searched for my pencil after one of said children's interruptions.
1 - the number of laser levels that fell off the wall while I was searching for the pencil.
6 - the number of funky pencils that are in junk drawer
0 - the number of funky pencils in the junk drawer that are sharpened
35 - the number of minutes I searched for a pencil sharpener to sharpen a new pencil since the other one went on strike.
18 - the number of times I passed the bathroom mirror before I noticed that the "missing" pencil was stuck through my pony tail.
436 - the number of times I was able to pound my head against the wall before I passed out.
Did I mention that I'm ready for this project to be done? There is one more wall to tape off and then we launch into sponging mode. How many times to you think I'll lose my sponge? And where will I find it?
I probably don't even want to know!

I'm ready to come and take your kids off your hands. I will come armed with cases of chocolate and several bags of coffee beans and my handy coffee bean grinder.
Your kids will be returned to you wore out, possibly very dirty, and fed.
Am I a great friend or what?
And that's exactly why when I paint I edge in the room, roll on a color and that's what they get. No fancy shmancy paint finishes with a sponge for my kids. It's too much work.
