Mural We Painted on the Gym Walls

I’m SO glad to be finished work until January 8th! While I’m not excited to not be paid for 2 weeks, I’ll deal with it, and the break will be NICE!
Today was a clean up Christmas day at work, and hustling to get everything up off the floor so the room can be cleaned. We had a ton more to do, and may go in during Christmas, but for today we’d had enough! I got home, and tore into cleaning my house, and just finally sat down with a beautiful, ice cold beer! heh So the house is clean except to do my bathroom, and change the bed. The laundry is half finished, so tomorrow, I’ll finish the laundry, wrap the presents, which isn’t near as frightening as it sounds, pack, load it all up, and head out of Dodge for 2 days. Ben and Jess are going to stay here to look after all the cats! Ben works tomorrow night, and then again on Christmas Day at 8:00 am, so they’re not staying out at Mom’s at all. They’ll just come out for the day.
Yesterday was a crazy busy day! I worked for the morning, and it was busy!! We had the Christmas parties, so we were decorating gingerbread houses, getting lunch ready, and packing up and sending home all the Christmas stuff! Whew! Then Sarah met me at school and we went out to the funeral. It was very nice, and it was so much fun to see all of my cousin’s kids! We got home from there around 5:15, and then got changed, and by 6:30 got picked up to go out for dinner. We had a great time, but MY GAWD that was a long day! We got home at 10:15. I can’t remember the last time I spent that much time sitting!!!
The picture here is one of two Wildcats we painted on the gym walls. There’s one on either end of the wall, with the name of the school in great big letters between the two. (we didn’t paint the name part). It took us a total of 32 hours to do them. It was a terrible PITA, because as you can see, the wall is made of cinder blocks, so you’d be trying to paint this nice straight line, when you’d drop into a “ditch”! The other pain was trying to get them to look the “same”. They’re no where near perfect, but the kids love them! They’re HUGE!
