Ahahahaha - I should have quit while I was ahead (Friday)

[partiallysunny]

The third bedroom in the house is tiny. A twin bed is really the only thing that fits comfortably. But I'm not having my ILs sleep on a twin bed YKWIM?

So, I've been shopping for a twin bed that'll convert to a queen/king. I saw one on ikea I liked, but we're talking $400 plus a mattress.

On craigslist yesterday, I found a day bed with trundle that lifts to the height of the day bed. Perfect for when a niece or two stays over or a pair of parents. Only a couple hundred bucks and they'd delivery.

I wasn't home for the delivery.

One of the middle supports on the bed is broken (causing a saggy mattress) and while tightening the bolts yesterday, one of the decorative spindles broke off in my hand and caused me to scrap the shit out if my wrist. I have a 3" x 2" area on my wrist with scratches of varying depth.

I can fix it, but had I been home and saw the broken support, I would have haggled down the price!

Moral of the story: this week sucks.

[sassycat]

OH crap so sorry and big hugs! I totally agree that this week certainly sucks.   (rose)  :drink:x6    I will share with ya.

I was going to add when I first started reading,  why not a daybed of sorts, but I see you had already had one.

This may sound crazy, but in the As Seen on Tv stores, they have those slat things that you could put under couch cushions and stuff to keep from sagging.  Would they work,  I think wallyworld, or target may have them too.  Worth a try?

[partiallysunny]

sassycat I think I'm going to just drill a hole and add a nut and bolt. Should keep it in place.

Thanks for the drink!

[sassycat]

Cool. Np for the drink, Baileys is tasting awfully nice in my coffee right now!!

[margarita]

Crap! That sucks!

omgggggggggggg I am so happy it's FRIDAY. WHY has this week seemed like it's taken a million years to get to Friday.

[partiallysunny]

You're telling me. And I didn't think of what a nightmare it is going to be to buy sheets for.

[dixienormous]

I am trying to prepare myself for a dinner with strangers tonight. Our new synagogue has put together a program called "Sharing Shabbat" and people volunteer to host a dinner for people who signed up for the program. It's an awesome idea and I'm looking forward to it, but I'm also a little nervous.

Seriously. Eff this week RIGHT IN THE EAR!

[tiramisu]

Hooray for Friday! I'm so glad it's finally almost a three-day weekend.

partiallysunny the universe needs to give you a break already! I hope your scratches heal quickly.

I'm excited because before I go to work I'll be buying my ticket to visit a friend in Oregon. I'm also loving the trim/new haircut I got last night.

[partiallysunny]

I need a hair cut. It's ridiculously long right now.

I'm not going to get it cut right now though. With my luck, I'll end up bald.

That sounds like fun!

It's totally normal to be nervous. I would be, too. But it also sounds like it might be lots of fun! And please, it's you! You're awesome. They're going to have a blast hanging with you. I know I did (in my dream, but still!)

[motzie]

This week doesn't suck as bad as last week, but this time change can fuck right off.

Probably a good idea

[dixienormous]

margarita - you're making me blush!

I'm actually more concerned about PF throwing up while we're there. I don't think she will, and it turns out yesterday's pukes were because she was super constipated. We're doing a prune juice cleanse tomorrow.

[partiallysunny]

Aw. I hope PF feels better.

You can do it!  It sounds like a great opportunity to make a few new friends.

[neonpink]

This week has taken forever

Dixie that sounds really cool. I'd be nervous but it is so hard to make friends as an adult.

PS-I hope you can get that bed sorted.

I am ready for this weekend. I am exhausted from this week. H started a new job and I get up with him now and am not used to it. I do admit I am getting way more done in the mornings. Clean house, prep dinner, design some invitations. So it's a good thing, I'm just adjusting.

Tomorrow I am going to a baby shower. I'm excited about the gift I bought and how I wrapped it. I bought a bunch of baby toiletries for the baby, and Mama Bee stuff for the Mom to be. The kicker for me is that it's my H's baby brother's wife. They are young (no real problem there) It's the they were separated when it happened (understand that too) this is what i have issue with H's brother is floundering. They currently both live with their parents. He has no job, and isn't looking. She does have a job. I am just baffled at my BIL get a job and grow up.
I am also a little nervous because their wedding was a surprise to both families and I have met her once in the 2 years they've been together. I wasn't around for last thanksgiving and she hasn't been around for any of our holidays either. Good thing she's pregnant so I'll know her as the honoree.

[partiallysunny]

neonpink that's really awkward. I suppose you are obligated to go, so... That stinks.

[starrieskies]

I got my hair cut yesterday. I really like it, but it's really a drastic change and it's going to take some getting used to.

Adding to my crap week - just got PF's progress notes from school. It's always upsetting to get them and we really needed them now because we have our annual meeting with the EI people from the Dept. of Health coming up on Tuesday. But it's soooooooo hard to read how deficient she is and what she *isn't* doing in terms of the goals we set for her.

[partiallysunny]

was it that bad.dixienormous? I thought she was making good progress.

[starrieskies]

You guys have done amazing things with PF dixie. She's made such great progress. She may not be where you wanted get to be, but she's happy and healthy and despite the slower pace she IS making progress. Just think of where she was 6 months ago! You're doing great!

She is making good progress. But seeing it quantified is hard. She's at less than 33% deficient across the board for children her age. Physically she's at an 11-12 month old level, speech wise she's at an approx 12 month old expressively and 18 months receptive, and cognitively still way behind. While yes, she is making steady progress, it's so slow and so hard to actually read that she hasn't reached the vast majority of the goals we set for her 2 years ago. I also think setting goals is ridiculous.
