Someone is trying to tell me something!

You know the old saying “someone is trying to tell me something” My Grammy said this whenever she was having a bad day… today i said the same thing, at least a dozen times!

First off, lets start with the remodel. I took up all the trim around the edge of the room so i could take up the yucky flooring. I was told it would damage the drywall, i was prepared for it, but i got lucky, very little damage! Just gonna have to do a few quick fixes, nothing major. My flooring guys (that would be the guys on DIY network!) say that you need to start taking the floor up exactly were you stopped putting it down. OK, start were i stopped easy enough… WRONG! That flooring was a pain in the, well you know. I tried and tried and tried to get that first piece of flooring to lift up, nothing i did worked! i couldn’t get a screwdriver under it nor could i wiggle the pry bar under it! I wiggled and jiggled and screamed! After about a hour of trying to get the darn pry bar under the darn flooring i gave up, went to the door way, stuck the pry bar under the floor that had a edge exposed and presto! The flooring is now gone! Yes the first few pieces were a pain but it was a heck of a lot faster than trying to start at the edge of the room! I remember when we put the flooring in, it took us a couple of days to do the full room, well it only took a couple  hours to take up the floor in the blue half of the room including taking it out to the dumpster!

(Mya wondering what i’m doing)

Now the flooring cam up yesterday, today however was a much more “fun” kinda day.

It started with me oversleeping, nothing new there i do it all the time its a perk when you work for yourself. Anyway, i was going to finish up fixing the holes in the drywall… only i couldn’t find the plaster. Yes that’s right, i have lost a two gallon bucket 2/3 of the wall full of plaster. I can’t find it anywhere! i have looked looked and looked all over the house, in every room, in every closet, and in every trash can. It has officially grown legs and walked off! OK, no big, i can just paint the ceiling, its ready to go. WRONG!

I went to get one of the two new paint rollers i purchased this summer, can’t find them, made a call to Aunt G’s office and she reminded me we used them this fall to paint the propane tank and that they are hanging outside. great they are gonna be rusted such fun. So i tracked out into the snow to get the roller only to discover she didn’t take the messy paint filled roller covers off before she hung them up. The roller covers wont come off, the paint we used to paint the tank is dried (duh!) and the covers are totally stuck to the rollers. OK no paint today. I’ll just start taking down some of the trim in the Pink half of the room after all i got to do something to keep my occupied.

You see there is a archway between the blue half and the pink half. It “was” trimmed out in some beautiful Oak trim, but when i took up the flooring i noticed it was going to have to be replaced because the new flooring is not as thick as the old yucky floor so down it was going to have to come.

Oh don’t get me wrong, it came down just fine. The two side pieces popped right off, the angled pieces fell off like they weren’t even attached to anything and the top center piece….

fell right down on my head.

Yap, now i have a headache, a gash on the top of my head, and i have gotten nothing done today.

At this point i didn’t care, i was DONE. I took care of the cut on my head then grabbed a cup of coffee, some popcorn, propped myself up in my favorite chair, covered up with a quilt and watched a movie!

Whoever is trying to tell me i don’t need to fix up my room… please go away, leave me alone, let me finish it already!

My day was a very long day… how was yours?!
