another day of constant rain. i'm impressed by the clouds here in the deep south. i thought weather here would be like georgia, or florida, where the rain dents cars and sweeps away small children, but only for 20 min in the afternoon. nope, not here in good ole lousy-ana. here it rains constant and steady for 24 hours. heavy enough that the front of you will be uncomfortably damp when you enter a building. the persistence of these rain clouds is ridiculous and highly unnecessary...
that has nothing to do with what made me smile today. go figure.
i love fresh and clean and crisp and sharp. those are words that can melt my heart, especially when you're talking about a living space, or a kitchen, i get giddy if it's a kitchen you're talking about...anyway, enough of that...i helped monica move a futon out of her daugher's room in order to make room for the crib that arrived today. abi is going to use the crib for the next 3-6 months until her little brother moves out of monica's room. abi's been i a rigged toddler bed-rigged to keep her in it. it stresses out monica knowing abi could escape and hurt herself, so the arrival of this crib is a big deal in the conger/haggerty household. so after we sorted out clothes that don't fit abigail and stuff she will never use, we moved the futon into my garage (i'm storing/borrowing it until they want it back or we move, whatever happens first). we then treated ourselves to lunch at the PX, some minor shopping, and then we picked up the crib from walmart. the next feat we accomplished we are both very proud of, we should have buttons we can wear around, like the "I Voted" stickers...
we assembled the crib in under an hour. we had two hungry, attention starved, teething infants locked in the room with us and we managed to put this crib together all by our selves! not only did we figure out the picture-only-instructions (that we decided could have been drawn much differently), but it is sturdy and abigail loves it. i can't even begin to explain how much of a burden is now lifted off of monica's shoulders...and i'm just so happy i got to help with the process :)
