This is NOT what Saturday is supposed to look like!

I. am. motivated. ….I. am. motivated. ….I. am. motivated…… I. am. motivated.       …..I am motivated……………If I tell myself this enough, it might just happen. Right? Let’s hope!

These two pictures would be the beautifulness that once was our bedroom. YUCK! This junk could give a person a headache! Could it not?

Bedroom wallpaper #1.

Bedroom wallpaper #2.

TO WORK? -OR- NOT TO WORK? ….THIS IS THE QUESTION.

I want my house to be ready when the fall rolls around. I know that when school gets here I can’t do anything but think of lesson plans, state tests, behavior modification, and how much I wish I could invent a caffeine IV drip.

Wouldn't it be great?

Back to the task at hand: We bought our house in the fall and I haven’t had time to tackle much with the school year devouring all of my/the husband’s time and energy. (he is also a school teacher and a football coach!)

So, this summer I need to get busy on this house. I managed to rip this stuff off during Christmas break! Christmas was the first break from school that I had since we bought the house and I could actually tear this crap down. I’m sorry. Did I just say crap? …..Well, I meant it! YUCK X 1,000,000!!!

Our bedroom was covered in not one, but TWO yucky flower wallpapers! So, today I have to:

  • sand the walls
  • sand the walls with a different grate
  •  wash them
  • ….. And maybe, just maybe paint a wall or two.

Oh the horror of working this hard today. All I want to do is read this today!

Question: What are you doing today? (please tell me it is better than what I’m doing…)

-OR- Have you ever torn down HIDEOUS WALLPAPER to paint over it? ….Tell me about it. I want to share this pain! 😉 HA!
