Tonight is a free night for us. And by Free, I mean no kids! The kids are going to be sleeping over at their aunt Julene’s house, and they are VERY excited about it. Hmmm. No kids, I thought. I went to Ryan and said, “I’ve got an idea.” I think he automatically tunes out when he hears those words, but I’m not sure. So, in my most seductive and romantic voice, I said, “Since the kids are going to be gone tonight, why don’t I…” maybe I was getting his attention at this point.
“…get some paint! We can paint the family room! Doesn’t that sound great?!”
Well, apparently, to him it does NOT sound great. He did not jump all over that idea, even when I explained to him that this might be the ONLY time we have for the next month to paint, since starting next week we’ll have visitors for most of the month, and then the play and all that. And we could paint all night and be done by tomorrow.
ahem.
Not going to happen.
Instead maybe we’ll go on a date or something. Isn’t there a Sandra Bullock moving playing now?
I say have a Sandra Bullock movie marathon while painting and say you can’t turn them off til the painting is done. It will surely guarantee your hubby will be painting fast and do the most because HE won’t be the one distracted by the shows. Either that or he will come up with some “work thing” which still guarantees you get your room painted AND get to watch chick flicks.
