Busy Saturday

What a weekend!! I am exhausted and its only 8:30pm on Sunday evening!! Let's see, what has been going on. Saturday was a very fun filled packed busy day. We woke up and John took Aidan to the in-laws (his parents) and we (he and I) went to IKEA for their no tax weekend. We have been saving and saving for about 5-6 months for this trip!! We didn't get everything we wanted but we got most of it. What did we get you ask?? We bought a wardrobe, a 6-drawer dresser a smaller (in width) 5-drawer dresser, flooring (we are making our dining area into a laminate floored area over the carpeting), another bookshelf and doors, and a mirror for above our dresser in our room. It sounds like a lot but we didn't have our own bedroom furniture so we figure that we will buy some cheaper stuff to hold us over for now and sometime when we have our own home and can afford nicer furniture we will buy something else. We'll then pass this down to one of the kiddo's room's.

We had to give the dresser and wardrobe that we were using back. It was my parents and my sister had used it growing up and since they bought their house in July, she has wanted it back. Mom had "given" it to her but my dad had given me the wardrobe back in college. I cut a deal so that we could use it until Memorial day weekend and then she could have it back. So, even though our money should have gone to bills and such, I wasn't going to have our clothes on the floor for the next year or so until we could save enough for our trip to IKEA as well as wait for the sale. John agreed. Frustrating but relieving because now we know that no one will be coming and saying that they want it back or that its theirs, etc. We are happy with it and that's all that matters. Katie was to busy in fact to come and pick it up today like we had set up so we hauled it down to the carport and a half hour later when I called to see when she was going to be there (45 minutes after she said she would be here) she was like oh yea we just got back from boating and now we are mowing our lawn....so John and I hauled the stuff back up. Needless to say he was late to work tonight by 15 min. or so. Thank goodness we live only 5 minutes away. It was frustrating none the less.

So this ended up being about Saturday mainly and a bit of venting, but it was bothering me the amount of work that we have done in the last 24 hours getting it ready for her and outside since Aid was asleep when they were coming just to have to bring it back in. We have everything on our bed right now and I have no idea where we are sleeping tonight but I am currently on the phone with my so wonderful hubby and he is bringing me a sandwich from Subway!! CRAVING!! I had one for dinner and now am hungry again about 4 hours later!! OH well. I am growing a baby and I deserve the food. I have actually lost weight too I think. I was just on the scale after Aid was tonight and I am about 2-3 pounds lighter than I was even a week ago in the evening. Anyway, I digress. Hope you have a wonderful weekend and hope you all have Monday off and are able to relax and spend it with your friends and families!!!
