I often think in bed - I'm just going to paint my bedroom myself. Well let me tell you, I don't think I'm going to paint my bedroom after having to paint the ceiling in Emily's room! I forgot to take "BEFORE" photos, but due to an air conditioning leak from upstairs, the plaster ceiling above Emily's bed cracked from water damage! The crack was probably 4 feet long and 3 feet wide. Our friend and contractor Joe, saw this problem and told us to immediately address this crack before Emily comes home from college for the summer. YEP MY BEST GIRL IS COMING BACK HOME TO KEEP ME COMPANY AND SANE FROM ALL THIS TESTOSTERONE AND BASEBALL DISCUSSIONS!
On Tuesday Joe showed up with a helper and started the job. Gary and I had to empty Emily's room out - into our bedroom. I HATE WHEN THINGS ARE ALL UNDONE AND ALL OVER THE PLACE! So Joe did the job, spackled let it dry and came back yesterday to do another spackle and dry. I didn't listen to him and last night painted her ceiling! He was to come back this morning and sand this 1 spot - and well now that I covered the spot with paint, there was no sanding to be done! WHATEVER - I painted last night and this morning and you know what? The ceiling is fine. The crack is gone, Emily will be safe sleeping in her beddie - and I got the chance to dust, vacuum and clean out her room 1 more time. But painting a ceiling really hurts my neck - my back - and I get a little grumpy!
Now it's onto digging out Russell's disaster of a room. Good lord it's a horrible mess in there. It pains me to walk by let alone go into his room! IT'S A HORROR! I will spare you a photo!
On another note - in the beginning of the week here in NJ the temps went into the 90's. We all had to turn on our air. Yesterday the temps went down 30+ degrees - this morning -- MY HEAT CAME ON! Go figure.
Oh Russ played a great game yesterday as well. He's officially 18 years old!
Best,
Jane M
