My Mother-in-law

My mother-in-law is as sweet as can be (one of the nicest people I know). Earlier while I was straightening mine and Jared's room and having a chat with Addison (the 3-year-old my mother-in-law nannys) Barb walked in to ask my advice about her hair...she likes it short but my father-in-law likes it long. While we were talking Addison was running and jumping onto our amazing pod chair (pretty much entertaining herself while trying to attract attention (like all 3-year-olds do) and I was making our bed and Barb was seated on the coffee table. I turn around to find while we were talking she was rearranging our diffuser sticks (::RED ALERT::). To recap a previous blog...I'm weird about people messing with the diffuser sticks. I held my cool and didn't freak out (on the outside) and once she left rushed to fix them back the way they go...

SAD! I know...I know, but hey at least I held my cool while she was in the room :-)

Rearranging...

Tonight we have been rearranging our room with the help of my lovely in-laws. We finally have all of our furniture...I do NOT plan of dealing with furniture people for and very very VERY long time. We had the hardest time actually getting our furniture...it was easy picking it out...and easy (for the most part) paying for it, but physically receiving it is a whole different story. Long story short...they lost our furniture and had to remake it, smarted off to my husband, finally finish our furniture and then forgets to ship our chair to the store with our sectional. They deliver our sectional and then three weeks later our pod chair. The chair arrived whilst we were in Birmingham this past week, so we moved it into our room last night. The way we had our room arranged there was no room for the chair, so moving the chair in made it so crowded which bothered me because it was in the room and did not have a place...and everything should have a place or it shouldn't be there. So...Today has been completely devoted to rearranging this room! This morning I measured the whole room and ALL of our furniture and then broke out the graph paper and put it all out on paper until it all fit. Then once my mother-in-law got home and helped me begin. After we emptied some cabinets and removed them from the room, I moved our king size bed (not an easy task).
~You may wonder why I didn't wait for Jared to help...I can tend to be slightly impatient when it comes to getting things done...I want them done when I want them done and I have a hard time waiting...therefore I normally just do things myself.~
Once the bed was moved and made up...Jared got home from work. Oh well...at least it got done.
Shortly after dinner we jumped on the project of getting it all done (because we have friends coming over for dinner tomorrow and I'm slightly OCD and would like it to look nice). Jared and his dad mounted the cabinets on the wall and his mom reloaded them. Jared and I moved the furniture around (it fits perfectly). And all the while (well at least whilst we were moving furniture) my silly father-in-law was reading to us (a lot like story time) this "funny" story-telling poems. I'll admit SOME of them were a little funny...SOME! The funny part is he just kept on reading...even after we obviously stopped listening...hehe...he just kept on and almost read the whole book. :-) I love my in-laws...they make me smile!
