Well, I forgot about the time change today so I got up thinking it was 7:30 when really it was only six thirty. Oh well, an extra hour to get things done. I started out by vacuuming the baby's room and then I had Jake help me move the dresser back across the room.

I was going to steam clean the little strip where the dresser was but I never got it done so if you come to visit don't get on your hands and knees and inspect okay? After I had the dresser moved back I went about starting to get things moved back into the room and getting things put away from garage sales and from last weekends shower.

About 9:00 Jake and I headed to Wal-mart to get him some bullets for target shooting and to look for shelves for the closet. I didn't see what I was looking for there so we headed over to Lowes. There I spent WAY more than I should have but got a shelving system and then a corner shelf to wrap around.

Of course I wanted to go home and put it together right away but Jake wanted to wait until it was dark. So, I continued unpacking when I got home and ended up getting everything sorted and in piles.

About one thirty I decided that I should probably start getting ready for the baby shower since I was supposed to be there at two thirty. We sent out 40 invitations for this shower so I was expecting a large turn out but that was not the case.

I think we only had about 15 people there. We did get lots of wonderful stuff and there were several gifts there from people who couldn't make it. When I went home I was kind of sad that we didn't have more people there until I looked at the guest list and realized that there were only about 10 people who hadn't either come or sent a gift. So...to those ten people... where were you??

Once I got home I wanted to start in on the shelving right away. Of course Jake took his sweet time getting home and so I was rather irritated by the time he got there. I had asked him to have his dad help him so that I would not be on the receiving end of any frustration. However, he seemed to think that he didn't need any help.

You know it's funny, I spent a lot of time handing him things and holding things for someone who didn't need any help. In the end we started cutting the trim board that runs around the middle so we could hang the shelving track and the sawsall battery died so we had to quit.
