"How about if we hang those shelves in the garage honey? How long can it take?" I say. As my husband refrains from laughing hysterically, I start to smirk with the ridiculousness of the statement myself. This same husband has just spent 6 hours hanging blinds, curtain rods, shelves & pictures in the girl's room. A project we figured would take a couple hours at the most. It's the bane of our existence--being utterly & completely overly optimistic about how long it takes to accomplish "stuff" at our house. How long can it take we say, as we start too late to get ready for church, slipping into "our" pew (that thankfully the locals have saved for us again) 30 seconds too late. How long can it take to clean up the kitchen, or do some laundry......
How long can it take to raise 8 kids--well, about 40 years for us. Wow, what a realization!
