On the verge of piecing......a new beginning

[TwinDad]

We had planned on going to the zoo or aquarium but bailed on those plans due to weather and decided to drive around and look at houses....apparently our hobby....lol

After that we went and arranged to get a quote for wood floors in our house and bought some paint for the dining room.....go with the flow...lol

We spent Saturday afternoon painting the dining room and accent wall in the living room. I don't think I have to say just how challenging this can be on your patience when you have a pair of 3 yr olds trying to "help" you out. We did manage to get it done with some frazzled nerves and I will say there is a lot to be said for the effect of "nesting" on a ladies libido

Well we woke up the next morning and noticed things looked very.....shiney. My W had bought semi-gloss instead of eggshell. We also didn't really make up our mind to re-do it in eggshell until after we had pulled down all of the tape. UNfortunately, I became a bit crabby (not at her just in general) at the thought of having to re-do it again on Sunday. At this point my W gave me a lesson in DBing....she put on a PMA and acted "as-if" and within a short bit of time my mood had changed to a positive one as well.

I am pretty certain she had never read the book, and she certainly could have made things much worse if she reciprocated the crabby mood, instead she turned things around. Perhaps some people just know this stuff.....lol
