So a few weeks ago I was cleaning and building up frustration about the long list of unfinished projects I was finding all around the house. If me and my husband have a recurring argument this would be it! I am constantly bugging him about my "Honey do list" this poor guy never gets a break. Truth be told I have high expectations! If he isn't going every minute of the day working on the house in the house or around the yard I start to freak a bit! Okay I actually freak a lot! Now this particular day I was being extra sensitive and he happened to be at work and unavailable for me to call and yell at him (sad but true). Well when this type of situation occurs my stubborn streak tends to hit! I was also quite independent before meeting him. The kind of girl that didn't shy away from "heavy lifting" and I still am to a degree but with him around I have definitely given myself some space to relax and let the man do his thing so to speak. So I am stubborn and like to pretend that I can also be independent! Not a good combination at all! Well one of the unfinished projects was moving the babies furniture into her bedroom. She slept in our room until she was about 10 months. So me being the stubborn hard headed women that I am thought to myself Ill show him! I then made an attempt to move the crib on my own to the babies room! I start by taking off the front of her crib so that it will fit through the doors. This goes by with little fuss, cool first step... check. So I take the front part to the room and come back to get what now looks like a toddler day bed if you can imagine. I then start scooting it going back and forth from one side to the other as I see fit. Pushing, pulling, scooting I get the crib out of our room and into the hall way. Now, her room is around the corner, I have to try to get the crib past the 90 degree turn and in about 4 feet of space turn it into the door of the babies room. Do you know the kind of hallway I am talking about? At this point it is obvious to me that this crib is NOT going to fit without me completely dismantling it. So tell me then why I tried anyway!! Hard headed is being polite. I pushed and scooted pulled and shoved this crib was stuck! I had "Austin Powersed" the crib very very tightly between the corner of the door and the hallway closet! Can you picture it? OMG!! I bet God was having a good laugh!!! I then thought ok fine Ill just back it up... ha wrong again!! I had been trying to move the crib into the babies room for a good hour now! Really? Why didn't I just wait for my husband?!! I still refused to dismantle the whole crib so I took off another side. So I have the front and a side taken off. The back, one side and the mattress spring are still together and still stuck in the hallway! I had to push, pull and shove some more and I FINALLY had the crib where I wanted it but we did not walk away without a scratch... the whole side of the crib has white paint rubbed all over it and I am pretty sure I bent the mattress spring. If only I had just waited for JT my crib would not be ruined and I could have spent my hour doing something way more productive but nooo I had to be stubborn and prove to him I could do it all by myself!! Lesson learned! ( at least until ;) tomorrow ) Thanks for reading!
