"It's the wrong color"

We have the crib and dresser in the nursery. And last week we ordered the rest of the furniture (the hutch and combo/changer unit). The hutch sits on top of the combo unit - it's like a short dresser with drawers in it, and the hutch has shelves and stuff.

So we went today to pick up the hutch and combo and she opens up the combo and it's the wrong frikin color... For furniture that only comes in one color this seemed very odd to us. She tried telling us that it was the flourescent lighting... Lighting my ass!! I refused to take it.... So she was like "well okay". So then she open the hutch up and it's a totally different color from the combo!!! LOL!!! Now mind you, the crib and dresser we have match perfectly in color!!! But the combo unit was almost and orangy color. The hutch was a little closer to our furniture color, but still not a perfect match. Well then she changed her "It's-the-lighting-" song and started singing "It's-the-dye-batch-song"!! I thought it was so funny that she was SOOOO sure it was the lighting and we kept telling her NO. And of course it wasn't. I really wanted to make her feel stupid so I made sure that I pointed out that the hutch and combo didn't even match in color... Not to mention that either color doesn't match the crib and dresser we already have!! lol...

So of course all they could do was reorder the furniture. I asked what kind of discount we were getting and of course she himmed and hawed around saying "well we can't guarantee a discount". I was like "whatever". I told Paul as we were walking out that we were either getting an extra 10% taken off the price of it, or free delivery. LOL! I said there's no way I'm paying full price for this... Paul had to take the afternoon off work so we could pick it up, we had to borrow Paul's dads truck (drive out of our way to get it), and Babies R Us is NOT close to our house... We're getting a discount for our trouble. I don't care I have to raise hell to!!! lol

So the new furniture should be in by next weekend... They're saying possibly even Tuesday. So we'll see... This time we're taking a drawer from the dresser to make sure the color matches the hutch and combo unit BEFORE we arrange to pick it up (or free delivery!). They better hope they get it right this time. They do NOT want to fuck with and 8 month pregnant chick!!! Especially not this 8 month pregnant chick!!!

Cooper is doing good. Activity has slowed down a little, but that's normal cause he's running out of room in there. Lol... I saw your predictions on the baby pool. I am ready to have him, but I think I am really going to miss being pregnant... Miss all the movement and stuff like that. But it'll be nice to have it over with. It seems like I've been pregnant FOREVER! lol... Only 5 weeks left until my due date!! yay!!!


Jen came home today sick with a bad cold or something. I told Paul I didn't want her staying here while she was sick, because I don't want to catch anything. I really don't want to spend the last few weeks of my pregnancy sick. I'm not trying to be mean or anything, but geez. Of course we didn't make her leave, she's been in her room sleeping all day. But every time she comes downstairs to get a drink of water or something I make disinfect the kitchen. Lol... I don't want to take any chances. Paul thinks I'm over reacting, and that may be so. But I really don't want to spend the last few weeks of my pregnancy sick. I told him that if I got sick I was going to make his life a living hell and he would have to do all the baby stuff that I was planning on doing... Of course he asked "like what"... So I told him - baby shopping, baby laundry, organizing the nursery, putting the crib set together, etc... Of course I wouldn't actually let him do any of this (don't trust it to get done MY way lol). But it scared the shit outta him!! lol... So hopefully I don't get sick!!!

Not much else here... Just having a bad day!

Melonie and fam are coming for dinner on Saturday and there's a TON of house cleaning I want to get done tomorrow. Of course some of it Paul will have to do. But he can manage. I'll leave his "Honey-do-list" where he can see it in the morning so he knows what he's in for when he gets home tomorrow after work! lol...

I'm outta here - nothing more to say!!!

Except - I LOVE MY HUBBY!!!! He's amazing for putting up with all my hormonal crap!!! LOVE HIM TO DEATH!!!
