In too deep with decorating?

I can't help feeling we have a bit too much going on at once with the decorating,

• the bathroom is nearly finished! to the independent eye it probably looks finished too, just a couple of things left
• our bedroom, well what can I say, we have been sleeping in there for nearly a week without curtains (our room faces the road) poor neighbours!, no bedroom door (although that finally went up last night) and a strong smell of paint to wake up to every morning - that room still has at least another weeks worth of work left in it.
• tomorrow we are starting the garden (no wonder everything takes so long - we do it all at once). We have two huge sacks (sack isn't the right word, stitch them together they would cover a Mini wouldn't they?!) of shingle at the front of the house that needs to be transported by BUCKET through the house to the back garden to cover up the mud monstrosity that was the chicken run. Ahhhhhhhh thats going to be hard labour! I think I might have a takeaway tomorrow night as a treat.

Meanwhile we still have to do all the normal things a home educating family does! Today N has written a story, sewn some buttons onto one of her fleeces to make it look pretty, sewn some more of her cross-stitch she is doing for a friends birthday, major tidy-up of her toys and has four bags for charity!, walked the dogs, played on the computer, drawing, colouring, prepared and cooked roasted vegetables for tea, and read through a folder of some of her old stories she has written.
