Time with my cousins!

So Frustrated

So I bought this cute antique bed hoping to put it in Riley's room for her big girl bed. I had no idea it would cause me so much frustration. I got it for a steal, $140. I've now had it welded to add length for $120 because mattresses today are longer than they were then. And I had to figure out the height situation because they did not use box springs back then, so leave it to a Thurmond to figure out a solution, Aunt Mary Lou told me to get a bunkie board. Great....I was good to go! Not so fast...The welder added too much length (which I am sure he will fix), and I guess we didn't notice that it is too wide as well. So here I am with a new mattress and bunkie board, sitting on the floor between the frame. I have no idea where to go from here. New bed? or custom mattress? Don't desire old things like I do, they always have to be fixed or redone. I guess it pays off in the end....but gees!

We live in Elmo's World

Donnie and I took Riley to see Elmo and Friends Live. Needless to say...she was enamored! We bought the cd while we were there and now listen to it everyday! I have to give props to the Sesame Street marketing team...they are awesome at what they do...and we are the suckers!
