trading spaces

That's what I wish we were doing - Trading Spaces with someone who would finish all this work for us! Things are shaping up but there is still a ton of things left to do. We are giving the house a new paint job - minus the area leading to the office - unless we have time. The railings are being painted as we speak - well, before and after I write this, and if all goes well the floor will be fixed up. I am anxious to see how it all looks. Craig is the smart one in the family and therefore has taken on the task of doing the painting. Maybe smart isn't the right word - maybe it's that he is the only one able to do it. He has, however, given me the opportunity to paint spindles, sweep, tidy, make supper, wipe his damp forehead, and feed him peeled grapes. sigh. He has done a great job painting so far and will spend the entire weekend painting the main walls. I will be finishing the spindles, painting the table, chair and the rocker, cleaning the boys' rooms and whatever else Craig can give me to do to keep me from complaining about how much this all sucks! Well, it is much needed and I am looking forward to the changes - which may even include new light fixtures. Yeah me!
