Day/Night Nightmare!

I had a really ruff night of sleeping.  My back was screaming and it was around 4.30 AM before i got it to calm down enough to get some sleep.  YES .. i slept in this morning.  The rest of my day was spent doing absolutely nothing but laying around watching tv and Yes a few naps here and there.

Later on after dinner hubby decided to tackle our day/night shade that has been broken for some time and I've been using a curtain rod to hold it up with during the day.  Well since hubby is working on his “honey do list”  and he is struggling to get all it done as soon as we can so that we can move up our departure date.  Neither of our bodies is liking this cold weather.  YESSSS .. we were born and raised in the cold Illinois winter but neither of us can take the cold anymore.  Were wimps!!

What a nightmare!  Who invented these things?  We took the valance off, np all went well.  We took the shade down .. all went well and from that point on it all went down hill …  I paid bucks for this kit as it had a how to cd included .. yeah right .. it had every one but ours .. grrr.. while i looked at the cd hubby tracked where the cords went.  Finally i got online and looked up our brand and found some what of some directions.  What helped the most was the chart i found for the cord.  Well it would of if someone would have listened to me!!    NOOO .. he has to do it himself and of course it didn’t work right .. so once again we took it apart and FINALLY someone is willing to listen to me.  After all it’s only almost bed time and my back is screaming.  YES your right by this point I'm not the nice person i usually am :)  Hubby finally gets the string right and we hang it up and the bottom bracket is on wrong.  We have one side hung back up and i say “Um this doesn’t look right”  I get the look and keep my mouth shut and when he is done he says “that isn’t right .. why didn’t u tell me me” EXCUSE ME!!  I just smile as i help him take it back down.  We turn the rod around and behold it works better then it ever has.  YES finally the day/night shade nightmare is done .. sure hope the rest of them never break!

It wasn’t long and i was taking a very hot shower, pain pills and off to bed i went .. sorry no pictures .. i wasn’t sure if one of us was going to make it out alive .. I’m proud to say that we both made it out alive and with no scars :))
