Some time ago, I decided it would be a great idea to redo our powder room.  It was a deep red and didn't match the space.  With the advice of my dad, I decided to paint the ceiling first.  Unfortunately, I did not have enough paint to do the entire ceiling twice.  Since I lack patience, I loaded my two youngest into the car and off to Home Depot we went.  Comparing prices, I noticed that it was cheaper to get the 2 gallon container of paint (especially since there were other rooms I wanted to paint as well).  We then dropped off my youngest boy at school and went home.  My daughter went down for a much needed, not very often, morning nap so I decided now was the time.  I painted the small space and cleaned it up.  Little did I know that there would be much more to clean up.  I stored the remaining paint in the laundry room.  Later that day, I had my two youngest back at home with me.  I ran into the garage to quickly grab something when I heard "Mommy, come here!"  I yelled back just to give me one minute.  Apparently when your child yells at you, you come running because when I walked in, I noticed that two gallons of ceiling paint were no longer in its right container but all over my hallway and laundry room floor! After an hour of cleaning, I learned two important things: 1. never leave ceiling or any paint where your child can reach it. 2. Always have shop clothes on hand.
