Ever since Adam had back surgery he hasn't been able to help me lift or carry stuff which I am glad he isn't. No way I want him to go back for a second surgery. These last couple of days I had been feeling like superwoman taking on all these stuff such as oh I don't know like putting together a storage shelf together from Ikea. I went into to Ikea and bought an Expedit shelving unit for our basement which I have been wanting for about a year to organize all the kids toys. Last night I was working along on carrying all the shelf pieces downstairs and putting it together. I even was listening to music and talking to myself to keep myself company while hubby was away at the gym working out his biceps. ;0) In the middle of the putting together, hubby came home and made a snack for us tomato cooked up with cheese on top. *yum* Afterwards I went back down to finish up then I got to the very last piece and was this --------- close to being done except.. I realized that I couldn't put in the screws to keep the board together. It was like gravity was holding it apart. So out of frustration I pounded the screws in whether it was in the instructions or not. Oh by the way I looked through the whole box and no I repeat no instructions at all was found in the box! I stepped back to look at my supposedly masterpiece being all proud of myself being the handyman and all. I felt my ego squished like a bug when I realized why the screws wouldn't go through in the first place. As you can see in the picture above you can see me and stupidity.;D
The brown part of the board was suppose to be the top part of the shelving unit so this afternoon I had to take apart the whole blasted thing and set it up again.
Here it is all prepped up for organizing THE toys. :)
Even though it may just be my sister and I reading my post it's good therapy for me to write my feelings down on days that I can sit here at the computer. It's also a nice way of keeping a journal.
Anyway pardon the mess of our basement, nighty night.

I've done something like that before - put stuff together wrong and have to redo it. Understandable especially if there aren't instructions!
Sis, so glad I'm not the only one haha!! Well even though I put it together all wrong first time, I actually enjoyed the accomplishment. :)
LOL! We have a couple of those from Ikea too. I love them. Have fun organizing!
