painting!

I had the WONDERFUL opportunity today to drop my kids off and go help a lady in the ward paint her house. They will be moving to Virginia, and we're going to miss them SO much. They sit with my kids during sacrament so i can play organ on my sunday, and they have 2 girls in young women's who are incredible babysitters. They're an awesome family; and the branch won't be the same without them.
On the plus side, i had an INCREDIBLE time painting! I really enjoyed the break for my kids, and they love going to someone else's house to play, so I don't feel bad about neglecting them. And i actually ACCOMPLISHED something!! I finished the entire hallway - edging in 5 doors! And started on their stairwell, finishing up 2 walls. It's so nice to 'SEE' a difference with what i've done - not just the perpetual doing dishes, washing clothes, wiping counters, sorting clothes, cleaning house, making lunches, doing the dishes AGAIN, washing the floor,... the list goes on and on, and on...
Oh, i know it's important, it's just that,...
it. never. ends.
Anyway, i've set up to be albe to paint tomorrow and wednesday also - i am SO looking forward to it!

That butterfly cake looks Great! I know what you mean about the housework, I have a hard time dealing with the fact that it never ends.
