WHY do I try to save my husband money??????

OK, so that is a very odd question, but the fact is, at times I find myself asking this.    Especially after deciding to go all Proverbs 31 and instead of "BUYING"  new trim for the bathroom that has not been stained or polyurathaned,  I decided to "SAVE" money and refinish the very nice trim that we already have, just is not the color I want for the a bathroom.    So after much labor intensive stripping( which, by the way, do they not make stuff that actually works anymore?) AND sanding AND scraping,  I go for my first coat of stain which does not stain, just streaks..............ARGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  So after all of this, I come to remember  that Proverbs 31 has some other verses, such as................. "She makes WISE purchases".   Why, oh why did that not accur to me before...but I am to far into the project to set a match to it, which by the way sounds really sweet.   So I continue to war with those pieces of trim and will conquer, though at this rate, it will be awhile, but then, at the moment it matches the rest of my partially trimmed house, so why would I want to break the theme?
