Oh what I wouldn't do for my Saturday morning back

We got started nice and early on the painting only to find out the color only matched under the fluorescent lights in Home Depot, not in the natural light in our room. I headed back to see what they could do - this was trip #1 today. They adjusted the semi-gloss gallon I had and it took almost an hour because to my delight (read the sarcasm here) I had driven off without my wallet. Dada and the Bubs had to pack up in the truck and drive up to meet me so I could get what I needed and get back home - this was trip #2 today. We all got home but I only had the bathroom paint so there would no doubt be another trip later. We got the Bubs situated and off with Oma to see his play and checked the bathroom paint. Still not right. That $30 was really starting to make sense now. So I headed back to Home Depot and started over - this was trip #3. I came home with a Glidden color matched to Behr paint and it's perfect! We got the bedroom and bathroom painted tonight and can't wait to see it in the light in the morning with everything put back in place.
