I was so hoping we could finish the nursery this weekend and have that stress off the table but I was so wrong....

A) We were lucky enough to be gifted what we thought was an Ektorp chair and ottoman for the baby's room for free because the slipcover was stained. After some research I found out that a new one would only be 50 bucks at our nearby ikea. Win win. So we picked it up and off to ikea we headed. When we got there they had the footstool cover in stock but not the chair cover. Arrg. It was set to arrive the next day which meant we were going to have to go back. We bought some other stuff and headed on our way.
B) We spent hours painting and it looks great.
C) DH installs expensive dimmer switch that we bought for baby's room only to realize when it doesnt work that we bought the wrong one. Back to Home Depot he goes to exchange it. When he gets home he realizes the new switch is only a switch and no plate. He has to go back to Home Depot to again to buy it. Switch finally gets installed and he moves on to installing new ikea light. I work on repainting the wall with the light switch because DH dinged the wall in the process.
D) DH installs new ikea light and cracks plaster ceiling. I now have to do a major patch and repaint the ceiling.
E) we realize we forgot to buy the special light bulb that goes in said ikea light. That's fine we have to go back anyway to buy the chair cover.
F) toilet downstairs randomly starts dis functioning at this time. DH knows the problem and knows it will be a quick fix. Off he goes the Home Depot for the fourth time to buy the parts.
G) in the mean time I paint the dresser navy blue. It actually turns out. Yeah.
H) I wash the blue paint out of the brush and go to touch up the paint on my newly patched ceiling. The brush is still a little damp so I stupidly give it a quick shake. This splatters watery navy blue paint out of what I thought was a well cleaned brush onto my freshly painted white walls and ceiling. I now get to touch up these too. With two coats of paint. Because white walls and navy paint don't mix.
G) DH try's to repair toilet but needs another part. He goes to Home Depot for the fifth time and returns with the right part in the wrong size. So back to HD he goes again to exchange it. He installs part and now toilet no longer runs but the tank has now started leaking. At this point DH gives up. We may need a whole new toilet but neither of us can admit it.
H) So we go back to ikea and buy our chair cover and some really expensive light bulbs
I) we install light bulbs and they don't work with the new dimmer switch...apparently there is such a thing as a dimmable light bulb. Who knew? Now we need new light bulbs but are too embarrassed to go back to HD for the seventh time.
J) Fine at this point I am exhausted and would like to sit down in my newly covered ektorp chair only as I discover after I have opened the newly purchased slipcovers and realized they don't fit this isn't an ektorp chair it is an older model that they don't make anymore. Which means that there are no slipcovers to be found. Unless I order from Europe. And pay shipping and tax and customs fees. This is more expensive than buying a new chair from ikea. We can't win.

So after all of that the only project which is actually finished after three long days of work is the painting. Which it better be because I went over it about 18 times. I am lying in bed exhausted and laughing about the whole thing because either I have managed to maintain my good humor through all of this or I have finally gone a little coocoo for cocoa puffs and I am really not sure which it is
