Stranger in a strange bed

Yes, it's Friday, no, the room is still not done. The quick "Labor-day" room makeover is now extending into the week. Isabelle is now living in the Den on an Aero-bed (I knew there was a reason to buy that bed!). I tend to look at these things with an outside view looking in, my highly valued project management skills aside... let's go back one week before the project started and try and evaluate this task Heather has undertaken and see if it passes:

1. Labor day weekend - Plus
2. School clothes shopping not done yet - Negative
3. Grocery shopping not done yet - Negative
4. First day of school is 2 day's away - Negative
5. Bedroom design involves 4 colors of paint and massive re-work - Negative
6. 6 month newborn in the house that needs constant attention - Negative
7. Responsible for singing time and sharing time for Primary that next week - Negative
8. Started a book from the library that you can't put down - Negative
9. Husband has Sr. Management meetings and will be home late all week - Negative
10. I could go on but then I will also be joining Isabelle on the Aero Bed tonight - Negative*

Excellent, now that we got that out of the way, I hereby declare this one day simple task a two-week project subject to massive delays, budget overruns, moody girls, employee and management strikes, and overall management pressure to complete the project at all costs. Looks good, go for it!

*To avoid consequences from number 10 above let me clarify that this post is in pure jest, we love Heather and without her drive and ambition the house would have white sterile walls and cease to be a "home".
