Wayward: self-willed; rebellious; unruly; impulsive

Weekend Warriors

There's some major tension around the house tonight! I'm driving Carey nuts with my "crunching" of dry cereal. My favorite snack happens to be his biggest pet peeve. The real issue though, has to do with the long list of touch ups and repairs that we've started tackling around the house. You already saw the plumbing problem, add to it wall paper, linoleum flooring, and a complete change of color, and you have tension. I took on the wall paper during AGW's afternoon nap. To my surprise, it came off easily and I had half of it off before I realized it! As I ripped and pulled I thought "Man. I rock! I'll have all of the wall paper off before she wakes up! I really rock! I am a wall paper rockstar!" Then the vanity light bulb exploded just inches from my face and I was jolted back into reality. I'm pretty sure God was saying "By the way, you're doing a pretty good job, but I rock!" Point taken. Humility in check.

Now it's Carey's turn for a lesson in humility. He's battling it out with the paint and from the mumbling and grumbling, I'm guessing he might be on the losing end. Did I mention that we just started the touch ups and repairs? We still have to paint every single wall, door, and baseboard in this house. Not to mention tile the bathroom, kitchen, and entry. On the bright side, we should be very humble by the time we pack up our paintbrushes and tools!
