Almost Blue
I'm always telling the kids to be careful when they're performing a task. "Pay attention. Be safe. Be smart." all that good, motherly advice.
Last night, I was painting the kitchen cabinets (blue) and when I was ready to quit for the night, I went to clean up. I was feeling pretty good about minimal spatter or spillage, but I did have a bit of paint on my arms and hands. So I go in the bathroom and look in the mirror. WTF?! There are blue swooshes all over my shirt! upon closer examination, I realize that at some point in the process, my ponytail had dunked itself into my paint tray. The bottom 2" were blue and stuck together like a giant paintbrush, and very nearly *dry.* LOL I had painted my chest with my own brush. Man, was that a pain to clean out of my hair, even if it is latex-based. There were icky blue flecks all over the sink, so I had to clean it for the second time in one day. As well as wash my hair a second time.
From now on, I put my hair in a bun when dealing with paint.
