I forgot what hard work it is to paint a room. It’s not just the physical act of painting that’s hard, but also the challenge of teamwork. While home improvement was part of my motivation this week, what I wanted more than that was time with my children, doing something together that we could all be proud of and enjoy. I hope my children appreciate it. Not me – but the hard work. It belongs to all of us, and we’ll all enjoy the reward too. Eventually. I’m going to have to step up my game if we’re going to get this done in a week. It’s on.
