When you feel like you just peed your pants kind of moment

So.... I haven't taken any pictures because when you have those pee your pants moments you don't feel like sharing very often but I am one who firmly believes why the heck not. So I received this paint sample in the mail and decided to use it because A.) it was free, and B.) Free. I now have a house that I can decorate and thought this would look great in the laundry room.. So me the adult here decided to paint with the small roller provided and not tape off the wall like normal smart-minded people, I was just so excited to go with it, and see what happened. My three year old thought I was the coolest mom ever because he got to paint the wall and have fun with it to. As this being my only jar of sample paint it was tiny and needed to cover the whole wall. So I squeezed out every morsel I could. I realized when I came to the top and bottom of the wall I needed a paint brush that did not exist as it is packed away and only Superman could find it with his x-ray vision. So me being totally in the moment and thinking I am brilliant started using my finger as a paint brush and lather that baby on. Hey, I did cover the entire wall, so it was a Happy Birthday moment for me. And my son did think I was great for about maybe 10 minutes, So I think it all went rather well, and turned out to be a beautiful mess in the end of it all, But I need to rethink my painting adventures for the next time. I know if my mom were reading this she would probably think Laurel I taught you better than that, or laugh as it does seem like a me moment. I should have learned from a couple days ago as I decided that turquoise would be the coolest mailbox color ever!!! It is definitely making it's own statement. You can't miss my house now as it is glowing  like Rudolph nose (just not red) At night it's so bright, I bet you could see it from space. And it looks like a giant bird egg as, birds are always deciding to sit on top of it. Oh well, maybe when they decide to crap on top of it, it will turn white again.(just saying) Hope you are all having a blast and make it a great up and coming week. With no paint involved whatsoever, unless you want to be the coolest parent for about 10 minutes.
