Maintaining your cheery disposition.

I am currently painting the kids bathroom, including the cabinets.
I started out happy.
And am growing frustrated.
So I am generating a list in my head for fun.

Things you need to paint your bathroom

• paint & primer
  
• good quality paint brushes of all sizes
• frog tape
• sand paper
• caulk, screwdrivers, etc.

Things you need to paint your bathroom

while maintaining your cheery disposition*

(*assuming you have a cheery disposition to start with)

• teeny tiny hands
  

 

Barbie will be more than happy to help you paint the itty bitty spots.

• a contortionist
  
  

He'll do.  One foot on the toilet, one on the bathtub.  Now paint that top edge while ducking to avoid the ceiling.

• Poison Control

I managed to eat paint.  Twice.

• Strong Antidepressants

Or a margarita machine.  Whatever works for you.

• A roller derby chick.

Don't invite her in.  Just ask to borrow her knee pads.  You'll be glad you have them when you are crouched down trying to paint behind the toilet.

•  A professional contractor

Me, "Can you fix drywall and rehang my towel rack?"

• Someone to entertain the kids.

Now let's leave your mother alone for a bit.  We'll go play an educational game in the other room!

 I didn't have any of these things.
And that's why I do not have a cheery disposition.
Anymore.
Because I had one to start with.
Really.
