Goddess in Progress

Well no, not really. Let’s see. I started my day fully expecting to eat properly. I did for the most part; however, painting the living room got in the way of me making my desired menu. I ended up eating two sandwiches. I could’ve stopped at one but I was hungry. I also had some rum punch as a treat for when we were finished painting.

I must say I was really upset today when the paint can was opened. I don’t remember my colour selection looking so crappy on the paint chip card. I literally mean CRAPPY! It was ca-ca brown. That started my tear fest. I mean really, how am I supposed to be a good decorator if I can’t even pick colours for my own home (I’m currently working towards my interior decorator certificate)? DH tried to cheer me up. Poor guy. He must think I’m insane. He painted one wall to see what it actually looked like on the wall. We then ended up painting three walls with it (we have an open concept house). Now that everything’s painted and the artwork and mirrors are hung, I really have to say it doesn’t look so bad. I really need to see it again in natural daylight. My bro-in-law came over to pick up the kids for a bit and he said he liked the colour. When the kids came home they said it looked nice. I guess it’ll have to grow on me because I’m not going to paint it anytime soon again (this is our second paint choice as the first one was way too light and looked just like builder’s beige…you couldn’t tell it was painted). So we went from one extreme to the other.

Tomorrow is father’s day but I’m hoping to take some time for myself to go to the gym. I have to get back on track and pick myself up from this slump.

Thanks for the comments left on yesterday’s post. It nice to have support!
