Maybe I was too hasty
In an earlier post, I stated that if a friend asked you to help remove wallpaper, you should "throw salt in their eyes and run like hell." I think that assessment may have been a bit premature. You should POKE THEM IN THE EYES, KICK THEM WHERE IT HURTS, THEN RUN LIKE HELL!!!!
Guess what I've been doing this weekend :) That's right, continuing the never ending saga of getting the nursery ready. In the end, getting all the adhesive off the wall required the one thing I didn't really want to do: work. I wanted to spray some magic wallpaper removing fairy dust on the walls, wash with a squeegee and there ya go. No such like for this hombre. No, I had to take a Scotch Brite (patent pending) pad and scrub, scrub, scrub, while using hot water. Very hot water! I expect I'll be able to feel my fingers again in a few days. Fortunately, that part of the nightmare is over. Up next is preparing the wall by filling in any oopsies I may have caused while removing the wallpaper, sanding, maybe doing some patch work. *sigh* It's for the baby .... It's for the baby.
I'll say one thing, when that baby comes out, the first thing s/he better do is turn, look at me, and thank me for busting my butt to get that room ready. A little gift might be nice ... but a simple thank you would suffice. Is that too much to ask?

I heard shopping is terrible inside the womb, not much room for sales racks, so I wouldn't hold your breath on the gift thing. : )
