I took my 30 percent off coupon to Sherwin Williams yesterday and bought l3 gallons of paint. I couldn't sleep
last night for thinking about it. I hate to paint. I
can't stand to have anyone else in the house for long enough to hire it done. It has to be done before we get new
carpet. Ted will do the ten foot stuff and the cutting in
but I will be covered in paint with a cluttered house until
it is done and Ted is slow and deliberate.

I got a warm white for the entry, living room and hall and
family room. I am using antique red on the fireplace wall.
The bedrooms will get a very light blue to match the one
wall papered wall in each room.

This is very traumatic. I rank it almost up there with
relationship problems but below child problems. Previously,
we painted all the cabinets white and that was a week long
ordeal.

I am stressed out.
