I slept in a real bed last night





We bought this home almost 9 years ago. It has been almost 9 years since I have slept in a bed on the floor-well a bed on a frame on the floor. I am not counting the nights in hotels (which honestly are very very few and far between), or a night at mom and dads. We are officially done with our room! We all remember the post where I tore the dang princess bed down.... It has not been an easy going couple months, but I can say now that Shad even thinks it was worth it. I am amazed at how much he can do.

Dear Amanda D

I have been absent lately. I am sorry. Breakdown
1. While watching Monsters Inc. with Sam, my phone rings-it rings again-and again. I decide to get my lazy bum off of the bed and see what is so dang important. Seems the secondary water had been turned on by the city, and one of our spickets was left on by my dear husband. My neighbor saw this and turned it off, but was calling to make sure we didn't have water downstairs. We did. We had a basement from one corner to the next full of standing water. Weird thing was, I didn't hear the water on-and had only been home maybe 45 minutes and it wasn't on when I returned. Thus the weekend began. After sucking approximately 200 gallons of water, replacing the carpet, and repainting, it is all fixed now.

2. Shad decided to kill off our ground cover and replace it with something different. Hence, a weekend of deciding what to get and planting it. Looks fantastic.

3. Whilst letting Sam be naked to try the potty training again (he was doing it off an on for a while, but decided to stop) he peed his whole night pee on the counter in the laundry room, with a little turd to boot. Put a pull up on... 5 minutes later, we have a soft bowel movement all over the floor, the rug, his legs, my arms.

4. Finished the "closet" in our room-repainted the whole thing, and will be doing carpet hopefully this weekend.

5. Lots of baseball
