DRAMA CARPET

I am exhausted today!. The morning started at 7:00 (after going to bed @ 1:00) My nephew Harrison (2) came over for me to watch while his parents went to the temple. So 5 girls and a two year old later... spending all day outside running around, digging up treasures with a metal detector in my back yard, climbing trees, playing tag, going for a walk down the street and generally trying to keep an eye on everyone is enough to wipe me out.. (and that was just what happened up to noon.) So, Myrna came over and we drove to Queen Creek to pick up the carpet. Remind me in the future, that if an entry ever says Queen Creek- no matter how good a deal it is to just skip it and move on.. the drive there was an hour long. So, in a big truck hauling a trailer.. gas being $3.15 a galon.. $60 later we got there. The carpet was stored in an outdoor unit.. not the best storing conditions. We had to dig it out and load it ourselves. I got it just to to check it out. I wouldn't use the pad- it's in a bunch of pieces, and looks like it may have gotten wet. I'll probably stick with my original plan and have the carpets that are already in the house cleaned (already have an appointment scheduled) and see how they do. If they turn out good- I'll just keep that in and save myself the hassle of removing the old, and hiring someone to install what I just picked up today. If nothing else, I can put the carpet back on Craigslist and re-sell it to get my $$ back. So, it was a pretty crazy day of running around. I definitely am going to bed early tonight.
