Mishaps, Messes and the Bed on the Floor

My bed is on the floor. Aidan has taken over my bed on the floor. If we haven't heard boo from him in a while, he's probably doing this.....

or this.....

I was really excited to disassemble the bed and finally get my new carpet. This was my chance to wrap up the projects for the summer (yay!!!). It's been pretty difficult to deal with my house has looking like a construction zone for the past few months - Most of the time lately my kitchen counters are stacked with a wide array of paint cans, solvents, brushes, rollers, sandpaper, etc. I thought I would be putting everything back in place - nice and pretty that same night, but now I am dealing with this.....

My carpet installation didn't go so well. Apparently this picture proves it. As soon as the living room was installed, I knew there was a problem. The pattern was not looking straight at all. The installer felt really bad and called immediately to get me a new piece ordered. As the day continued, things didn't get any better. Finally, the installer called an inspector out and they determined that my carpet wasn't manufactured correctly and it couldn't be installed straight. Long story short, the manufacturer is sending an independent inspector out to check out the issue. He lives in Stillwater, OK. He is on vacation and can't be here until August 31. No new carpet can be ordered until he determines whether it is indeed a defect. It takes 2-3weeks to get new carpet. That puts me to the second half of Septemeber until I can get carpet - if the new carpet comes in straight. Right now, my carpet is duct taped together! I'm trying to be patient, but the tack strips in the closet have gotten my toes one time too many! We didn't reassemble the bed because we thought we would be moving the big bed out again soon.....Which is why our new favorite spot in the house is the bed on the floor. In the meantime, I guess we will have more of Aidan relaxing in my bed and we will get to see a lot more of Owen doing this.....
