It was one of those days where you put off half of what you needed to get done until the second day of the weekend thinking, “I’ll have plenty of time”…. And then..something on the first day doesn’t go quite right.
So, we need side tables for the living room. The majority of the wires for cable, internet, etc. are in the living room. Behind the couch. Almost. So Grace knows that all she has to do is shimmy her way back there and it’s cable city. Think about it.
So to solve that problem, we thought..we’ll get side tables and she won’t even be able to get back there at all! Plus..we needed lighting in there anyway since there is no ceiling fan with light at all. The nearest light is in the dining room..bright, but not bright enough. So we go to Crate and Barrel.. great stuff, not overly expensive..compared to Pottery Barn anyway. And we found what we wanted, yesterday at 5:30 p.m. right before we were to head home since Grace was getting fussy from a day of Babies R Us. But they didn’t have the tables we wanted, or the lamps. The nearest one was nearly 30 minutes away. Okay then. After thinking about it, we realize that they are pretty perfect for what we want and we decide to go ahead and go get it today. But Coco had a grooming appointment at 9am and Chris went mountain biking. So we didn’t get going until about noon. So we got back just in time for Grace to fight us tooth and nail on whether she was going to take an afternoon nap. She won. Then Chris installed the microwave over the oven so that I could have my countertop back. But that took us well into the evening/dinnertime/bedtime portion of the evening. So now that Grace is down for the evening and we’ve been fed..I could easily get back to what I wanted to do earlier which is clean the floors with this neat floor cleaner for wooden floors..and do some more laundry..and clean the kitchen..but all I want to do is take a long bath and soak with a book.. hmm..tough choice….
