is only surpassed by my own stupidity....
Let's just say this has not been my two weeks. I tried to "revive" three rooms of wood flooring with a refresher coat of polyurethane on my gorgeous wood floors. Well, a couple days after application the finish starts to peel everywhere I have applied it. Who knew that there is oil based poly and water based poly??? Not me and even though I guess I had a 50/50 shot, I guessed wrong and the two are not compatible. So, in order to keep my DH, who knows nothing about floors, from refinishing it, I hire the man who originally did our floors to come and sand and fix the whole shebang. Dennis is skiing and did not know I was having this done and would have been livid about me spending this money. I have had to keep the kids and dog off most of our main floor this whole time.
So today, to add insult to injury, I told the kids we were having a "breakfast picnic" upstairs in the rooms to keep them out of the kitchen. We have a balcony above our living room and sometimes I toss clothes or stuffed animals down the stairs to save me an extra trip. So I change the morning diapers, we have our picnic, put on our clothes, but because I know I need both hands to take both kids downstairs so that they won't walk in any wet areas-- I toss the jammies downstairs, and then I toss the diapers. TWO POOPIE DIAPERS. MASSIVE POOPIE DIAPERS. The minute they leave my hands I realize what I have done. I haven't seen anything like this since they used to throw things of the tops of building on the Letterman show.
Tomorrow I will be painting two huge walls.
(I did call DH and tell him about the floor and he was far nicer than anticipated).
Don't ask to see a picture, I could not get to my camera because I couldn't walk across the stinking wet floor.
