hmmm continued

So today was a bit frustrating at our site. We got there and were really excited to be able to finally put color on the wall after all of the setbacks we've faced. Our site leader began the day by telling us we only had paint for one room........so! frustrating. Especially considering that was the main task set before us at the beginning of the week. But we kinda pushed on and found odd jobs to do in the morning hoping that the home owner would come at 12:30 with farther plans. Well when lunch rolled around she hadn't come home. While we waited unfortunately we had nothing to do. So many of us sat doing nothing and waited. Finally the home owner arrived. She walked into the house to see the one room we had painted with the colors she had designated and was silent. We were all ridiculously nervous. She didn't really like the colors; though the colors weren't our decision we were all really really disappointed. She brought the paint for the rest of the house in and we got ready to start painting in an effort to finish. We got the tape up around the border and by chance had to take a small portion off to reposition it to find that it was pulling the paint off.....bummer!! Anyway we regrouped and came up with a game plan for tomorrow to hopefully be as efficient as possible. Today really showed us the importance of communication and making sure that we as Bonner's have to be prepared for our functions because when leaders aren't prepared....it's .... difficult....and disappointing. But! on a good note. We're gonna kick some serious painting butt tomorrow. And the windows are all framed and caulked up. Yay!!
