Well I'm happy to report the my weekend went well. The three-ring circus of family and furniture and more family is over.
Friday my in-laws came up from Southern Californa to attend a wedding in Santa Clara. They stopped over to visit and we all went to dinner. Mariko as always was head-over-heels with excitedment to see them.
Saturday the new bed arrived, at 10:30 we were outside putting 3 coats of clear finish on the whole bed. Nothing like a Queen Sized, 12 Draw Captains bed to keep you busy. During this we had to tear down and move out the old bed. Managed to vaccum the whole room between beds.
Taking the old bed out was a breeze compaired to moving the new bed in. Solid wood is HEAVY. LOL. Before we were done, the bed was about 33-inches tall and we had not even put the topper on the mattress.
As 11pm rolled around, we tucked ourselves into our new bed, with new sheets, and new comforter. The one problem I do have is I only stand 5'3" and the top of the mattress is about 4" above my waist. SO now I can't just "fall into bed". SO I find one of my daughters little step stools and that gives me just the lift I need to get onto the bed.
My husband jokes he feels like he should be doing carrier landings we are up so high. I have this craving to sing "I'm 5" by Robin the little from from the Muppets. LOL My feet dangle off the bed before they even hit the floor. IT's GREAT!!!
Sunday rolls around and at 9:30 am my in-laws show up once again. Man do my legs hurt, the calves don't want me to stand up, and I dont blaim them. SO I fell out of bed, & got dressed to greet the morning.
MY father-in-law cut my husbands hair, (as always) and then after about a half hour, he cut my daughters by. She insisted that Grandpa cut her hair. I'm so glad I was not watching, She now has the cutest page-boy haircut. I just prefer her with longer hair. Regardless of how I feel, she looks adorable non-the less.
So around noon I send the grandparents back to the hotel to take a nap, dinner is not unitl 5:30 and my daughter needs a nap. The peace and quiet was very nice for a change, and I don't like quiet.
My brother-in-law get's lost, and I managed to extend the dinner reservation. The food was great, nice vairety, everyone raved over the Lemon Chicken & the Cha Shu Pork. The evning went off without a hitch. And everone is happy. My brother-in-law's new girlfriend now want's a bed like outs, but he want it to 6 drawers, not 12. The man has no sence of adventure. LOL
