Leaving...Please pray!

it is always good to be with family, but they can wear you out!

It sounds like the timing of everything worked out....you'll be home to care for Theresa, and were able to help out your kids.

Have a safe trip, and enjoy the family!

Sounds like you've had a busy week!! So how do you paint a suede wall? You'll have to explain later when you have time.

I'm glad that things are going to work out well with your SIL. She must be very special to you.

I'm so glad you checked in Betsi!! Glad things are going well there.

I bet you're relieved to know that you will be home before your sil leaves the hospital.

Sorry you are working your lil fingers to the bone.

I'm with Diana...can't wait to hear how you paint a suede finish. I bet it's gorgeous. Maybe you can seek in a pic

I've been wondering about you and your sil! So glad you checked in to let us know. This board is just like family - when something is going on, I keep checking, checking, checking......

I know you must be tired - it is hard to paint and move- get some rest! And come home soon!

DianaB · 02-15-2010, 09:54 AM

Ok, Betsi......it's time to come back home.....you're definitely being missed here!!!

Thanks everybody!! Teresa had her surgery today and everything went fine!!!! She should be in her own room by tomorrow.

The kids are at work tonight so I have the place to myself. Y'all should have seen me standing on top of the kitchen counter painting above the cabinets last night!! Dustin was unpacking and we had the music going and we just talked and laughed almost all night...he even danced with me in the kitchen after I climbed down, lol!!

The kitchen wall is now chocolate brown. It's actually pretty, lol! I just have one more wall to finish the suede treatment on tomorrow..then I'll be DONE!! The stupid ceilings are cathedral, and on one wall I'll have to put the ladder on the stairs. I told Dustin if I fell and broke a hip I would have to stay in Seattle a loooong time. He said he might just push me off the ladder so I would HAVE to stay

Oh... I'm using Ralph Lauren Suede paint. You roll on the first coat...with a special roller of course

Then after it dries, you go back over it with a 3 inch brush making x's. It really does have a soft suede finish, but I'll NEVER do it again on such a large area!!!

I'm having fun but I'm ready to get home. Kinda miss the hubby and the dogs
