promised i would share photos of my last 4 weeks worth of project 365 layouts in the album. forced myself to journal all 28 days this morning. i have a few cards i want to re-do … too many spelling mistakes and mess ups. and i think i forgot to round a few corners on the date cards. will do that too. and when i pulled up these photos a few minutes ago, i realized that i had my camera settings off … so they look a little funky. and the sun is just about down … so can't retake them. you get the idea though.

i feel like i'm slacking this week. but i've also accepted the fact that i will not get much done this week too. it's conference week .. so the girls have half days at school all week. daycare kids are still sick … so i seem to spend most of my day wiping one nose or the other … and giving them lots of extra attention. joe is sick now … i swear, we just keep passing this around and around and around. over 3 weeks straight on the sick front now. softball games going … along with practice still.

and very sporatically and randomly … i've been painting. you should see this place … just random walls or parts of walls painted. no edges, baseboards, lightswitch cover or anything have been done … anything that involves taping off will be done later. today i painted just the middle third of a wall … as far down as the daycare kids couldn't reach … and as high up as i could reach without a ladder. and i do this all using a 4inch little roller. the large rollers are messy … and just more to fuss with. i can whip out the 4inch roller and paint for 10 minutes … and then stick it in the baggie. so i seriously do this … paint for just 10 or 20 minutes sporatically throughout my day. lol! and the new color is the one on the right … the hard-to-make-out-the-correct-shade of yellow. i'm not totally convinced on it … i think mainly because i have only sections done and am still seeing the old color mixed in. but it's definately brighter in here now … which is what i wanted. and the red will be staying .. and the green in the playroom. i think it's going to be good!

    I can sure see why you get so much done. You really use little orbs (my husbands word) of time very wisely. I wish I could be more like that. Also in the 365 photos. I am so jealous that you have an In and Out Burger. I haven’t been there since my sister in law lived in CA in 1993. They are the best. Have a good night.

    You are rocking – totally jammin on your P365! Is it wrong to try and send the kids to bed early so I can start mine – lol!?!?!
    I like the new wall color – looks nice and fresh and fun – just in time for spring! I LOVE the red too. We had a whole entire wall at our old house – took about 100 coats but it looked great when done!

    Hi Laura! Like the new wall color. You are too funny with your little multi-tasking tricks! That’s why you get so much done…do what you can when you can. No need to block out a day to paint! I LOVE IT! I used to be like that. But I think I’m getting lazy in my old age. (That was a hint to say 43 isn’t that old…lol!) Great job on the 365 album! BTW, I think I have the same candlestick!

    I can totally understand doing things in 10 or 20 minute windows of time! With 2 kids, I do the same thing!

    The 365 project is looking good! I can’t see anything to complain about … and keep painting! It’s so funny that you’re doing it that way, but it’s probably better than clearing everything out and dedicating a few days to it … at least less stressful. What do you do with the pan of paint for the roller when it’s in a baggie?

    You are too funny! See I’m a multi-tasker as well but when it comes to something like painting a room I need pretty much instant gratification. When I paint I PAINT! I get it all done in a day because I NEED to see it all done. I have no patience for a little at a time. I like the new color! I think it’ll brighten things up for sure!
