I got skillz

The mini pantry,

which runs along the 'hallway' 

connecting the bunkhouse to the kitchen,

has been pretty much ignored.

Except for when it's been a tool receptacle.

But now that the real pantry is ready to be 

yucked up with our stuff filled up,

I sorta needed the mini pantry ready, too.

I have this insane need to only put things away

one time

which means I spend an obsessive amount of time

thinking

about what should go where.

In order to figure out what goes where in the pantry,

I had to know what all I could fit in the mini pantry.

Makes perfect sense to me...

Like I said, though,

the mini pantry wasn't getting any love.

So, Thursday night,

I left a note for the boys

asking them to drywall it.

Friday morning, Tony got after it for me.

Except that he was feeling miserable.

And the pantry isn't exactly completely square.

So

I did what any mom would do;

(attempting to ignore the persistent and increasingly worse back pain...)

I helped.

Put up drywall.

And then I just sort of took over.

That's right!

All by myself

I hung drywall!!

And then,

since it needed mudding

and all other available workers were in the loft

doing some essential job that obviously required all five of them

(T was here ~ yay!)

I did that, too!

My family is not appropriately impressed with my skillz.

Most likely something to do with the fact

that even the 5 and 7 year olds have helped hang drywall

and can 'pudd' with the best of them.

And the 12 & 18 year olds have done more drywalling

than many grown men.

Whatever.
