::That Moment When::

You Know those "Oh Crap"  moments when you finally get situated and you realize that something is missing?

Here's a few examples

-You sit down on the couch, get comfy.. have a nice bowl of cereal to eat and you have Everything all set to go except... the remote that is on the other end of the room.
"Oh Crap"

-You climb into bed get warm and start to drift off into a nice sleep when you realize you forgot to brush your teeth and go to the bathroom.
"Oh Crap"

I'm sure there are some better ones out there  but those are the ones that seem to happen to me on a regular day basis.
I'm so
Luckkkyyyy!

Well Today I got to experience something along the same lines..

The weekend project from 3 weekends ago has come to a halt
Why?
Well let me explain
This particular project was made specifically for the upstairs bathroom
and just when I was about to complete the project

Helpful Husband Jake
asked..
"Well Jess, Don't you want to wait until we finish the bathroom painting before you do anything with your project?"

Husband your so Smart! S. M .R. T!

So with hopes a little low, I left weekend project in the garage to collect dust..
 yet again.

When I got home
I sat and stewed about the fact that I couldn't finish the project

that's when I got the "bright idea" to do something about it.

Went to the store:
Shook the paint
Got the paint brushes ready
Cleaned out the bathroom
and went to poor the paint into the tray and then!!!!

"Oh Crap"

What tray!?
I was all set to go except for the dang paint tray!

So meanwhile going to Lowes and grabbing a paint tray,

my bathroom was left looking a little like this


Sad.. Empty
Paintless

The most horrific sight.
Rather sad if you ask me and anyone who has been in that bathroom

........

As I sprinted up to the check out line at Lowes and slapped the paint tray down
....
the 99 center paint tray to be exact.

The man looked at me and laughed saying
"man BIG spender today!"

Ask me if I was in the mood...
Not only was Check out man "funny". As I walked out of Lowes Mother Nature decided to be "funny" as well

With Paint tray in hand A STRONG gust of wind decided to snatch my paint tray and take it swirling down parking lot

So if you drove past Lowes and witnessed a maniac running through the parking lot... It was Me

...........

Got the:
Paint
Tape
Brushes
and
Paint tray (liner)

Back in action!

The reason behind my rushed self is because I wanted to finish before Husband got home
which was at Five

I had a good 2 hours to finish



Okay let me explain why I took this embarrassing picture

Reason #1: We have documented everything we have done to our house so i was..
"Obligated"

I know your jealous of my hair and my scary kids scary kids shirt... Its not everyday your face matches your shirt.

Reason #2: See that little Square I'm holding... Its a paint brush..Not just any type of paint brush but
"THE paint brush"

Observe:

Once again.. Ignore my face .. I figured if I was going to be in the picture I may as well make it worth it... now that I see it.. It wasn't
I'll just admit I wanted a "myspace worthy" picture

See the edge
The edge of the mirror..
How on Earth are you supposed to paint that without "smugging" all over the mirror!?

Ladies and Gents
THE paint brush

Lookin good in the neighboorhooooood!
Use that baby for every edge in your house and it'll look Flawless!

Now when I started I knew I wanted to do stripes
thanks to the inspiration given
by:
Pintrest
and
Sister In Law Jac

I threw the tape up and measured about 11 ' thick stripes on the back wall

getting those suckers straight was possibly the hardest thing to do

but I succeeded
and with Minuets to spare before Husband Walked into the door.

Bathroom Complete
