Wyatt's Big Boy Bed




So, last week, we decided to ditch the crib and get Wyatt a toddler bed. It sort of struck me and by the end of the day, I had chosen the bed and given the hubby the info to go pick it up at Wal-Mart.

I wasn't so set on the color of the wood (altho I like the natural look) as much as the style. I was sure he would come home with a different color but would be ok as long as it was the right style.

He came home with right color AND style and had it set up and made by the time I got Wyatt home from Nana's.

I wanted to give Wyatt a chance to check out the bed before he actually had to sleep in it. The look of awe on his face when he saw it made my heart warm. He couldn't believe that it was for him.

Naturally, he wanted to know if he could jump in it because he loves to jump in beds. I let him and he spent about an hour before bed doing it.

He even slept in it all night. He is so excited to go sleep in his big boy bed each night.

Top 10 Reasons To Go To Work Naked

Ok, I needed a good giggle this morning and this certainly filled the bills.

So, the Top 10 Reasons To Go To Work Naked are as follows:

1. Your boss is always yelling, "I wanna see your butt in here by 8:00!"

2. Take advantage of computer monitor radiation to work on your tan.

3. Inventive way to finally meet that babe/hunk in Human Resources.

4. I'd love to chip in, but I left my wallet in my pants.

5. To stop those creepy guys in Marketing from looking down your blouse.

6. You want to see if it's like the dream.

7. People stop stealing your pens after they've seen where you keep them.

8. Diverts attention from the fact that you also came to work drunk.

9. Gives "bad hair day" a whole new meaning.

10. No one steals your chair!

I'm a slacker . . . so what?

Yeah, I'm a slacker and haven't been blogging. I could give you a million reasons why but I don't feel the need to make the effort.

But, I'm back.

A few weeks ago I had this awesome thought. I want to take a class in something like soap or candle making. It's not that I think I'll really get into doing it, but it would be stretching my wings a little bit and would shake things up.

Well, even though I live outside the most liberal town in Bloomington, I seem to be having problems finding a class.

Apparently cake decorating is the in thing. I don't think I need a class where I can eat my mistakes and enjoy it.

Anyway, that has put that project on the back burner. So, now, I am out of new things to procrastinate. What does that mean for me? That means I'm actually going to have to get around to doing old projects I've started.

Here's my list (in no particular order):
1. Clean out and organize mud room. This was started a few weeks ago because we kept smelling diesel fuel in it. It turned out that the smell was coming from the garage because the tractor did not have the gas turned off and it was leaking.

2. Work on my scrapbook/photo album of Wyatt. I think I put pictures in from his first bithday and that's ALL that's in there even though I own a whole bunch of the materials I need to do it. I DID order some more pictures today. I need to upload some more to Wal-Greens and order them while they are having a good sale.

3. Pull out all of Wyatt's car seats, swings, walkers, etc. and clean them up. Then, I need to take pictures of them and list them on craigslist.

4. Clean out my closet . . . I don't want to even talk about it.

5. Either have hubby build a doghouse for the new dog or find a home for him. See, this dog showed up on our front porch around Christmas and made himself at home. So, we bought two bowls and some dog food and named him Larry. But, I feel sorry that Larry is an outside dog.

6. Pack up the clothes that Wyatt has outgrown and either put them on craigslist or donate them to a charity.

7. Rearrange the home office. It's still just cram packed from the remodel.

Yeah, yeah, yeah . . . I have more than plenty to do. I will get around to it . . . eventually.
