My wife is getting ready to leave the bedroom when the dreaded words are said, "Do you want to paint the living room this weekend?"
Now luckily I am behind the clouded glass in the shower so she can not see the look on my face here. It probably was a cross between a deer in the headlights and the ultimate look of disgust. All of a sudden I went from looking forward to a weekend of relaxation to thinking of how to not say the wrong thing. Damage mode is activated in my head as I careful choose my words.
How did I react you ask? Currently, I am trying the Super Bowl angle! "We want to have snacks ready for the game Sunday. Are we going to be running around crazy if we try to fit that in along with the game? How about we do it the following weekend?" As of now this weekend is up in the air since she is thinking about it.
I don't mind painting, but I hate getting to Friday thinking my weekend is going to be one way and then all of a sudden is shifted in a total different direction. Is there any helpful advice to help me get a week reprieve?
