Things that are going through my mind as I try to paint our bathroom at 10pm while husband and son sleep

-Trying to paint left-handed (when I am right-handed) around a toilet = paint in my hair and a crappy paint job.
-This painters tape is misleading and giving me a false sense of confidence. I am getting paint all over the trim. Jesse is going to give me a "F" for effort.
-How is my constant cursing not waking Jesse up? Oh wait, maybe it is...
-This is not going well. I am the worst painter. EVER. Why is Jesse letting me do this? Oh yeah, because he is asleep.
-Wow, I am way too short to reach the top and do a straight transition. There's no way I can bring that clunky ladder in here without waking up the whole house. I am thinking of you here, Jesse and Sam. You're welcome.
-Oh man, these light bulbs sure do give off a lot of heat while you are standing on your sink trying to paint above the light fixtures. Oh, and what's this? The heat just came on and is blowing hot air directly at your head. Awesome.
-Why do I keep thinking I'm seeing a yeti with an ice cream cone and a bowler hat outside? Perhaps I need to open a window and stop breathing in these paint fumes.
-PAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAINT!!!

Meet Henry the knitted tentacle monster

 Meet Henry. Henry likes rocky road ice cream and climbing the walls with his tentacles. He's very adventurous but still likes to relax. Here he is chilling on a crocheted afghan I made:
 You can make him a part of your family today! His pattern is now in my shop. You know you want him.
Anyway, I have some more ideas for new patterns that I plan on working on and I have my son's 2nd birthday party to plan (holy crap!), so I will hopefully be able to post new stuff. Hopefully.
There are only two days left to comment for your chance to win a voodoo doll pin cushion! Come on, you know you want it! Help me get more than one comment, you guys!
Well, my kid won't nap, AGAIN, and it's really hard to concentrate. I can't think of witty things to say because all I keep repeating in my head is the words to "Go The F**k to Sleep" by Adam Mansbach.
Have a better day than I am and keep warm!
