Painting Kylen's room has turned into a WAY bigger job than we ever could have imagined. We had scarcely begun applying primer before I thought of The Glad Game in Pollyanna. We were in desperate need of a little entertainment and humor. This did the trick . . . for about five minutes.
13 Reasons To Be Glad While Painting
- We will never need to paint this room again (hopefully).
- We could be using a toothbrush instead of a paintbrush.
- We could be doing this for a living.
- We’re saving lots of money by doing it ourselves.
- Painting 300 square feet is better than painting 301 square feet.
- At least there aren’t borders all the way around every single edge.
- Kylen has video games to keep him entertained.
- I have blogging to keep me entertained.
- Greg has the paint and paintbrush to keep him entertained.
- All the ugly marks on the white walls are getting covered up.
- We are spending quality time together during hours of mundane work.
- It’s exciting waiting to find out whether or not our tape leaked.
- When we’re finished, it’s going to look awesome!

I love the Pollyanna Glad Game and the book! What a wonderful mindset to make even the most dreaded job not quite so bad. : )
I hope you'll post before and after pictures when it's all done!
Always a good thing to look for the positive in any chore. As we are moving next week, as I struggle to pack, I constantly have to find a good view :)
I had fun visiting your TT.
Mine is at The Cafe.
Hope you'll drop by.
LOL! Mostly it's important that Greg is entertained with his paint and paintbrushes! I never thought to offer you some more audio books to listen to. Something like that is perfect for a monotonous job. You'll probably be done by next week, though, huh?
Hang in there, it sounds like the end is almost here! I can't wait to see it all finished!
Hugs,
Kelli
