Can you Believe It? Part 2

I'm creating my own saying... Desperation is the mother of invention. I'm tired of Smiley's clothes being all over the floor of his bedroom because he has no dresser anymore. I purchased a dresser from Ikea last weekend but with going between two homes trying to move things, paint, and unpack, assembling the dresser has not been top priority on Brett's list and frankly I can't read instructions of ANY kind. I can't assemble toys, furniture, or even a coordinating outfit.

So it is no wonder that a pile of this...


is very intimidating to me. Instructions of any kind are gobbldigook to me. Sheriff can assemble Bionicles and that to me is amazing. Don't ask ME to do it.

Brett assembled the frame to Smiley's dresser last night and I helped him with one of the drawers. It was getting late however and we turned it for the night. I wondered this morning if I could remember how to assemble a drawer and decided to try it out with these tools...


I didn't have a hammer so my meat tenderizer had to do instead. again... Desperation is the mother of invention (our hammer is at the old house.)

No one was more surprised than me with the result...


Actually I think Brett will be pretty surprised. Come to think of it the boys were probably wondering why I was ignoring all of their screaming, crying, toy throwing and messing around for an hour. They probably thought my super hearing was broken or something. Remember ... all moms have a super power... mine is super hearing.

I think we sometimes surprise ourselves when we try something new. I certainly surprised myself. I was also surprised with what was left over...


hope the dresser doesn't fall apart!!!
