Totally Annoyed!

Beau and I have been painting each room in the house little by little. Buying a gallon of paint here and there. We finally chose the colors for the dining room a couple of weeks ago. We only bought a quart of each color (2 colors) to make sure we liked the what we chose before we painted the whole room. We painted one wall a dark chocolate brown(pictures to come when we are finished) and then we chose a sand color for the rest. We really liked the colors and were excited to finish the rest of the room. It took us a few weeks, but we finally went back to Lowes and instead of buying a quart we bought a gallon. It didn't dawn on us right away but we soon realized that the paint colors were not the same! Talk about frustrated! We both liked the first color better! We were certain that whoever mixed the new color must have done it wrong, but when we held up the paint chip to both colors we realized the the first color was way off from the paint chip! The funny thing is, is that Beau didn't take the paint chip with him he took the old paint can. We're still not sure how it got messed up in the first place, I think just by looking at it that they must have forgot to mix a color in. Anyway, we decided just to stick with the new paint color and it's growing on us. I'll post more pics when we're all finished.
Can you see the difference?
A few more annoyance's:
* why are we paying $2.25 for gas when other people are paying $1.80-$190?!
*my stinkin' period just wont end! (not that you guys really want to hear that), but I'm over it already...enough!
*I wish my daughter (the littlest one) would detach herself from my hip and just be happy chillin' out by herself...I think if she could climb back in my belly she would be a happy little clam! Momma clam on the other hand would like to have a break!
Okay I'm done complaining for the day...tomorrow's another one and there is no work or school..yeah!

I'm sorry you have to go through that. I can totally tell the difference in the pic....one looks glossy and the other looks matte...and ones lighter than the other. Good luck getting it all worked out. That would be so frustrating.

oh, I am paying 2.51 for gas here...I am asking the same question cause gas in Cali if cheaper.

Yeah, Gas is 2.55 here, and if I drive 10 miles, I can get it for 2.35 on base. I'm happy its no longer $3 a gal though!
