...I have more time to be painting!

This is the weekend I normally have my kids. I will still have them, I just don't have to drive to get them. They are being brought to me. 

This is good for a couple of reasons. 1) I get really tired after being in a car for 5 hours. 2) It gives me more AWAKE time with the kids. 3) It's going to give me more time to paint. 

I have a project going on in the house right now that has been a long time coming. About 7 or 8 years ago I ripped out all the carpeting in my house. Since then, it just kind of sat there. Well, no more pets, and my kids are old enough now that I don't worry (too much) about large spills. Carpet is going back down. This will be so nice. 

But, I also decided to paint this room I am putting carpet in. It's going to be pretty awesome actually. The colors that are in there will look good and compliment my furniture. Things will be moved around a bit too. The dining room will be moved near the front of the house and serve as a seating area for gathering. What would be the "dining room" will actually have my couch and TV. The current "den" is where the TV is right now, and that will have my music equipment and computer stuff in there. Sort of like a studio.

It's going to look great. I just have to get my ass in gear now and paint paint paint!
