Ikea Aftermath + Real Life = NO BLOG POST FOR YOU

In the spring I accidentally purchased a chair instead of a mattress from Ikea.

You are now wondering how it could possibly be a good idea for me to homeschool. But certain chairs and mattresses are packaged identically at this store, and therefore it was an honest mistake made while trying to finish up in the store so that I could drop everything off at home and go get Christian from school before the hurricane hit.

There were so many things going on right after that, and then we were out of town, and once we returned home I finally found the receipt, and with two days to spare before my return window was up, I took that chair back to Ikea.

My plan was to go early in the afternoon and be back in time for the baseball game.

We interrupt this post because of real life. I am going to post that beginning of the story, which is not particularly exciting, but which has some funny parts, but I have to vacuum some giant whiteboard pieces, iron clothes for church, and fold some laundry.

And let's just be frank...the laundry probably won't get done. 

Also? Eliana's birthday is tomorrow, and I don't have a cake made for her. Nor do I have a solid plan for making her cake; my goal is to accomplish making the cake sometime after church tomorrow and before dinnertime. Since she does not like any actual food that our family eats, could I get away with giving her just cake for dinner?

I'm sure she would like that, but no, no I cannot do that. 

I'll be back at another time to finish telling you about my trip to Ikea. It was a lot like a certain three-hour tour that we all know about (but longer). And minus any islands. Well, there were kitchen islands...

Those first two sentences? Abutting each other? They just make me love you more! True story. And, have to tell you - we HAVE done cake for dinner around here. Sadly, on more than one occasion. It's just the way I have to roll sometimes. ;)
