...I can see the end in the horizon.

This has been a hell of a weekend. The carpeting goes down on Tuesday and I got the painting that needed to be done completed. Now, I will say this. I would not be as far as I am without the love and support of my lady telling me I can do it. I would also be much further behind if it were not for my kids. Most people would not let a 10 and 12 year old do any painting like this. But, I have faith in them. And... they were my only helpers. And... they had no choice.

...I got a hell of a lot farther than I thought I would.

So, I had a plan. I thought I was not going to finish at all. But, I got what I wanted to get done for the night already. And EARLY. I can't paint any more here in the house tonight because it all has to dry.

Don't worry, Sally and Susie, I have an open window with a fan pulling air out.

Lou, once the room is done, I will give you a call. I'll actually have one fully completed room in this house. It's the big entrance room. Carpeting goes down on Tuesday, I should have everything painted before then. It's going to look great.

I would not be as far as I am tonight though without the help of my monkeys. They did a lot too, they also paint quite well if you give them good instructions!

...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!

...I get to watch some monkeys today.

My sister's monkeys to be exact. I love these kids. They are hilarious. Why are they funny? Well, for one they are not mine. That means they can do annoying things and I can send them home. 

The other part is that they just get a kick out of me.

Watch the video below for some of their antics.

...sometimes you just have to let it out and rant.

I keep things positive on here, so I made another site to help me with something that annoys me (and from feed back I've seen, other people as well).

Check it out, read up, re-post, or be angry about me doing it.

But, today was better because I found an outlet for my annoyance.
