"Stoopid projects...."

On the movie Meet The Robinsons, which I highly recommend, one of the kids is always keeping the other kid awake working on inventions. I love how the little kid complains and says that he was awake all night because of those "stoopid projects." There is just something in the way that he emphasizes the word stupid.
Well, today I did about five "stoopid projects". Some were small and a couple were bigger. I cannot find the cord for uploading pictures from our camera, but when Marc finally gets home this weekend, I will post some pictures. I have finished quite a few projects while he was gone this month. I recovered our dining room chairs, redid an old desk for a changing table, redecorated the boys' bedroom, painted two dressers for the nursery, repainted a high-chair, and lots of little projects to make our house more me.
I am once again swearing off projects. I think that I inhaled too much spray paint today and need to go rest...................

"It doesn't have to be perfect..."

thought you would like to know.......
I have been talking to Giovanni about not having to have things perfect. You have to understand that he is almost a clone of his father. They can be a bit OCD about certain things. So I have been talking to Giovanni about not stressing about things being perfect. I have told him that his bed doesn't have to be made perfectly straight and flat. We have talked about lots of things that aren't perfect, but we can do a good job. Marc has been gone for the month for some training which culminates this week with two big tests. Well, it was Giovanni's turn for prayers tonight. This is what he said, "Please bless Dad on his test. Help him to get some answers right, and some answers wrong. It doesn't have to be perfect." So, after that all I can say is GOOD LUCK to Marc.
