Keep on MARCHing!

Hi All,

I hope all of your lives are going well. For me, every day is another day. I miss Daddy every day and while there are still moments, overall I'm doing pretty well. Thank you for continuing to pray for me.

I'm having an insomniac moment tonight so I thought I would touch base with you all. As most of you know, my mom and I are still living together. We have pretty well settled in to our new place. Mom is trying to make this home, buying new decor and finding themes for different rooms. I thought my room was gonna be easy, it was painted a nice dark green color. However, about two weeks ago, I noticed that the paint was pulling away from the wall. It soon began peeling off in strips. The former owners decided to paint over wallpaper without primer. (Yeah, that's gonna work :)) So I found a new color for my wall and purchased it and the primer. I got home and realized that because of the amount of furniture I have in my room, I have to do this painting one wall at a time. So, I move furniture, scrape all the old off, prime, let dry overnight. Next day, I paint, let that dry, then I put my wallpaper border across the top, then I move the furniture back and start over. I finished one section of wall, and I LOVE it!!! I think it looks great, but I can't seem to find the energy to do anymore. It's harder than I thought. The primer I have to use is oil-based, so it's basically impossible to clean my brush/roller after I prime. No problem, right, I bought one set for primer and one set for paint. However, when trying to fit this project in around my mom, school and my life, the primer completely dried up and made the roller unusable. So, now I get to prime my walls with just a paintbrush, it takes FOREVER. AAAAaaaaaa!!! If only it didn't look so pretty all finished, maybe I could convince myself that it's not worth it, but I can see that it is. I'll have to send pics of my room when it's done...look for those around August :) Just Kidding, (I hope).

Well, I better go, my wall's not gonna scrape itself.

As Always
