Been Painting Up a Storm!!
I only have the family room (2 walls) and the hallway left to paint. I painted the living room yesterday and have the furniture where I want it. I will wait another day before I hang my wall decor up. I don't want to take any chances of something sticking to the paint.
Tomorrow afternoon, I will start taking things off the wall and out of the family room and get it painted. Hopefully I will have all the painting done by Tuesday. Yay!!! I can't wait to go to bed at night and not hurt so bad that I want to cry.

I wish I could hire you to come do mine! LOL
I am trying to get my bathroom done... and I have gotten less than half the primer on so far. I keep getting interrupted and called away. I figure painting can wait... family often can't. All in good time I hope!

I am suffering Marilyn, honestly. Everything is looking so crisp and clean, but I'm going to bed in pain. My knees and lower back are hurting so bad at night. Even when I turn over I wake up in pain. I don't suffer so much once morning arrives and I get up and start moving. I'm almost done so it's worth it (somewhat...LOL) not to have to pay to have someone else paint for me. I do know that unless I get a new body, I won't ever tackle this again!

Hey Janet, with all the extra money you saved not hiring a painter, when your done painting, i think you should treat yourself to a day out, get your hair done, buy some new clothes, you know pamper yourself for the day

Janet, I'm sorry to hear that you're in pain from painting. I can certainly understand the back ache and knee pain that comes from doing stuff. I just recommend taking ibuprophen while you're painting and afterwards. Also a long hot bath is required!!!!! I bet that everything looks really nice and you'll be thrilled when you're done with it!!!

I hope when you are all done you treat yourself to something special - you deserve a little pampering after all the work you've done.

I suggest you take some of the cash you saved by doing the work yourself and go to a spa or at least get a masseuse to help with your aches and pains. You've definitely earned it!
