Ambitious: baby room part II

Back in the day, Lay and I partnered up for the science fair project. We decided to plant little grass pots, feed it different things and see what happened. Not the most exciting idea, but it had some mysterious results. For example, one day pot #2 had four inches of grass, but the next day it suddenly dropped to one inch (most likely one of my younger siblings had decided to "trim" the grass). Somehow our class voted us to represent at the school fair. So we took our cardboard display and got out of class for an afternoon. To this day, Malea and I joke about how one parent called us "ambitious." At the time we didn't know what that meant and replied,

"thank you!" But now, after gaining some life experience, I realize that the parent hadn't really meant it as a compliment.

Nonetheless, I have remained an ambitious person throughout my life. Sometimes I get an idea in my head and I just have to do it, regardless of whether or not it's practical. Which leads me to my most recent ambitious undertaking: baby's room.
True to his word, Mikes took down the ceiling light but hasn't done anything else for the baby's room. I have been trying really hard to get the room done this weekend, which has made me grumpy and tired. It also hasn't helped that Mikes too has been grumpy. So we have had a rough weekend arguing over house projects.

Friday: I picked up drywall primer to put on the ceiling and applied it once I got home. After letting it dry, I started applying the ceiling flat paint but ran out about 3/4 of the way through. Mike wants me to touch up the current brown in the room, rather than repainting the walls entirely. we disagree.

Saturday: I pick up ceiling paint and chair rail moulding. Mike has to help me carry in the 2 gallon paint, I'm scared he'll be angry with me for getting chair rail moulding. I finish painting the ceiling. Mike and I had previously talked about a purple in the room. He says I can paint if I do a white color on the top. He wants me to do monterey white. I worry about how that will look with the purple on the bottom and get a different white.

Mike and I don't like the white I got - it is whiter than our trim. More frownie faces. After another debate, we make a quick run for the monterey white and agree to forgo the purple if I can do a stencil on the bottom. I paint the top half monterey white.

Sunday: I touch up edges and paint the chair rail. Mike won't put up the cha

ir rail. He says he's tired of house projects. I say if we hadn't done the climbing gym, this all would've been done two months ago.

I am tired and in a bad mood.

I think maybe my ambitious nature and pregnancy do not do well together.

I am taking bets on whether or not the room will actually be finished before baby arrives. Still no car seat, but I am suppose to pick one up tomorrow...hopefully that goes according to plan!
