mommy motivation

So, Matt decided to get the trim up after my dad gave us his air compressor and my mom let him borrow the finishing gun. Then my mom came over to help me paint closets. We painted the hallway one and the spare bedroom one. Both have 2 coats of primer and need one coat of white. Then I can put up shelves and stuff them full. The trim in the kitchen is done being painted white and we just need to find a stain for the window trim. The kitchen is almost all done. I really need to put something on the walls though cause they are so bare. We have a few small projects planned for the near future. We would like to paint the second bedroom white for now just to make it easier for when we do have a color in mind. We need to paint the dinning room and replace a few ceiling fans. The bathroom needs to be gutted but, we think it might be better suited for a professional. Outdoors is just boring. We need to add plants to the retaining wall and paint the white concrete of the house. We need a new garage door. Long picture shows us needing a new rood, furnace, water heater, and whatever else wants to break on the way. We are finding it hard to get everything done with Matt working so much and being tired and me never being home at decent hours. The dogs have also been getting more walks so we dont spend time painting like we should. We need to get as much done as soon as we can because I dont need to add mroe distractions to the mix when we are already procrastinators.
