Tackle It Tuesday

Good Morning...
Oh the toll of a long weekend Painting...
Well here is a part of the mess I have in the morning.

After:
I had therapy on my neck, I was laying there in the dark and the timer went off...
I thought Lord I would just love to lay here on this heat for a few moments I just don't want to ring that bell...
the door opened...
The fellow said I'll be with you in 5-10 minutes after I get this other fellow set up if you don't mint! HA!
Trust me.. I did not mind a bit! :)
Then I dropped by "Just a Moms" for a pasty (a sorta baked meat pie). We had a great visit. She is making baby quilts and we played with some color for the layout of one of them. You should go check out her work.
I came home to two wonderful messages from wonderful women.
Friends I love.
My heart felt so warm at the thought of them thinking about me. It is so good to be LOVED!
Got the dishes done and a nice rest I better get back to work.
The studio and kitchen have become the catch all for the left over stuff yet to be packed up. We cleared the living and dining rooms. The upper foyer is now empty and I will most likely place a silk plant or two back once the painting is finished.
The tackle here is boxing things and clearing the clutter.
I have to close down the home school supplies and decide what to
keep, sell or give.
This as you know is a bit , bitter sweet for me.

So much to do here.

Its 3:30 the kids are home and put their laundry away!
Daddy Man is due home at 4P.M. No more overtime!
Beloveds Job site shut the overtime off, just in time to paint... :)
So Mr was home at 4 P.M. and we had homemade hamburgers and organic apples. We all hovered together and watched the second half of Dash's movie choice. The high action thriller, "Transformers".
Oh they were so cute after movie time we went to paint while they played out the movie in the back yard.

The children...

Helping :)
There is joy here!
The living room and dining room have both been painted.
We have yet the second arch,
and the great foyer and walls of the hallway leading to the master bedroom suite.
The center arch is finished and the main entry detailed in. The front door is cut in and the only thing is a second coat above the door.
We have this small section now near the master bedroom door.
It is now 7:45 and story time with Uncommon Daddy.

The laundry has once again piled up,
I have this to wash.
Undone

This to fold.
A load or two of clean kids clothing on the sofa to fold.
The sofa is clear and the living room clean :)
Ya!
I had to have a least one clean room to keep sanity :)
