success!!!

 So now when we last talked, the painting had not begun.  I got into my painting clothes:  a tank top with paint already on it from a previous job, and shorts that I wouldn't wear out of the house if my life depended on it.    Lo and behold, I found myself trouncing off to the hardware store in that outfit.  We could NOT find the roller things.  We had the poles for them, we had a package of new covers, but no rollers.  Char suggested I just hop in the truck and head into town, it would take 15 minutes.  But I just changed into painting clothes, I'd have to change again!  The girls thought I was ridiculous.  They were like, oh mom, who cares, just go.  Now, it was 90 degrees in here, and I really didn't feel like changing, so I went.  It kind of killed me, and I wanted to tell the cashier, "I don't usually dress like this, but..."  But honest to goodness, who really cares?  (um, me, apparently)

Charlotte Claire was smart, she protected her eyes, and looked cute at the same time.

Anyway.  We got that ceiling all finished, it took two hours.  I won't even tell you how hot and sweaty I was, but I will say this:  the pool had never felt so refreshing as it did after that painting job.

The new paint has been ordered, we'll probably pick it up tomorrow, because today, we are going to the BEACH!!!!  I am very happy about that, Lake Ontario...it's where we camped when I was a kid.  We loved it so much up there, my parents bought a camp there when I was ten.   It feels like coming home, when I go there.

Abigail will be here soon, and here I sit, off I go, poor me, to get ready to go to the beach!
