In my last post, I talked about that cool bookcase (granted it is not Bush furniture but it still is awesome) that I was going to use as toy box in my living room. Well, I went and picked it up last night. It is still in my van, since it is super heavy. Bill needs somebody to help him carry it into the house, and I am not the person to do that. To get the living room ready, I completely rearranged it again. Every couple of months or so, I feel the need to rearrange. I am not sure if I am the only weird person like that or not.

I got it!
Sunday, September 30th, 2007My Love/Hate Relationship With IKEA
Friday, September 28th, 2007I went to IKEA two nights ago. I have a love/hate relationship with that store. I love it, because I love a lot of the stuff there. I hate it, because I end up buying more than I went there for. I got the computer desk that I wanted. I however ended up buying shelves for the kitchen, hampers for the kids’ bedrooms, and a placemat to put the George Foreman grill on. I won’t even tell you how much I spent. The worse thing is that I found this bookshelf that I want:
I want the baskets too. I want to put it in the living room and put the kids toys in the baskets. I think it would take care of a lot of the clutter we have all the time. Unfortunately, that means I have a lot of rearranging of the living room to do to make it fit. I could spend an entire day at that store.
Dirty Sexy Money
Thursday, September 27th, 2007Anybody see this season premiere last night? I have to admit I was impressed. I thought it was great. I laughed throughout the whole show. It already has some great plot twists. I have already set my TIVO to tape the whole season. Let me know if you saw it and what you thought of it.
Will and The Chiropractor
Thursday, September 27th, 2007I wrote a couple days ago about being frustrated with the stupid GI specialist who told me babies spit up. Well, Will has been extremely crabby and spitting up a ton (due to the acid reflux and me following the directions of the specialist to overfeed him). I decided yesterday to call my chiropractor and see if I could get him in. They fit him in, and it was the best thing I could have done for him. We noticed that he keeps tilting to the right. Well, low and behold, that is a classic sign of acid reflux. By the time she is done treating him, we should be able to take him off the medicine. She said his back was extremely tight. I also have leg exercises I have to do with him every day. I feel bad for the kid. I guess I should have tried this sooner, but I was giving the doctors a chance to fix this.
Could you forget your child?
Thursday, September 27th, 2007I understand being a pet lover even though I am not one. However, would you save your pet over your child? Would you forget that your child was even in the house?
I came across this story yesterday where a couple in Beaver County, PA, got their dogs out of their burning mobile home. However, Crystal Adams and James Chandler forgot his 4 year old son. After being asked repeatedly if anyone else was in the mobile home, they remembered after twenty minutes that the boy was in his room. A firefighter thankfully went in and saved the boy. He ended up getting treated for smoke inhalation. Crystal and James were charged with reckless endangerment.
I seriously cannot understand this. How do you forget your child? How do you get your dogs out before your child? As many of you know, I am not a pet lover, so maybe I am missing something here. The cause of the fire is still under investigation. I am hoping when they figure out what caused fire, this story doesn’t take another sad turn.
I have several questions for my readers especially the pet lovers (since I am so not a pet lover). If your house was on fire, who would you save first – your pets or your kids? Also, would you forget that your child was in the house?
