Momma Drama

Is it 8 pm yet? (Maiya's bedtime) No? How abour 8:15 pm? (Devin's bedtime) No again? How about 8:30 pm then? (Trent's bedtime)

DARN IT!! It's only 7:15 pm. I want to sand. I finally rented the big ass orbital sander today to do the kitchen floor. I gave it a little test run out there already. OH. MY. GOD! I cannot wait to have that bitch sanded....it looks so good already. Then I'll just have to varnish it up with some super heavy duty marine varnish.

I started to paint the top edge of the guest/village room today, what a pain. I left the painters tape on too long, so when I pulled it off, it took some paint with it. It is not smooth up there, so I switched back to the border idea. I hauled ass to Meijer and snagged some flowery (not so pretty) border. I really hate buying things like that at Meijer, they look tacky. You get what you pay for, but a trip to the real wallpaper/border place is not in the cards right now. Good thing the ceilings are 10 feet high, maybe it won't look too bad from that far away. ;) I also bought some cream colored Fusion spray paint (the stuff for plastics), to paint the PVC pipes under the bathroom sink. Maybe Dave will be quiet then, he hates looking at those exposed pipes and I'm not ready to tackle a sink skirt. Hopefully if the pipes are cream, they will blend in with the walls.

I grabbed a rotary tool (50% off Whoo Hoo!) to boot. I will finish sanding the edges of the hoosier cabinet with this. I can do the sanding upstairs on the baseboards too. That way I won't have to but quarter round trim for the whole upstairs. Originally I should have sanded the baseboards before the carpet was laid, but that just didn't happen. Now I have an 1/8 of an inch strip of unpainted baseboard that shows. (Silly me, I was thinking the carpet would be high enough to cover it.) Now I can run this tiny sander in there, smooth it out, then slip a bit of paint on it and viola! Besides that....the rotary tool just looks like fun!

I won 2 of these on E-bay the other day.......I got them today. My thought was one for Devin for Christmas, she loves her sewing cards and I watched her weave her belt through a wire shelf that was sitting around the other day. They may be a bit advanced for her right now, but then again, she may just surprise me.

No soccer game today.......Trent's cleats, ball, shin pads, and team shirt are in the car, at work with Dave. Don't even get me started on how it really does pay to empty out the car after each day/outing/event...I'm a big car empty-er, the rest of the family...not so much.

Maiya quacks now, which will come in handy since she is being a duck for Halloween. Every time I tell her to quack at Dave she growls instead.....then laughs herself silly about it.
