Reasons I have no medicine cabinet or toilet

Wes and Brandon left early Monday morning for a weeklong scout camp at Zions. And when I say early, I mean 3 a.m. early. That's early! They had to be there at 8 to get the permits, and they couldn't leave on Sunday, so they had to leave then. Crazy!

Anyway, we had five projects we wanted to get done on Saturday: put up the new basketball standard (the old one broke), hang up the medicine cabinet in the bathroom, put the toilet tank back on the toilet in our master bathroom (we removed it to paint), find a light and towel rack for our bathroom, and pick up the desk we bought for Wes at DI.

We decided to do the basketball standard first because that's what all the male members of the family thought was most important we knew it would be hot in the afternoon. It took much longer than we anticipated. It was darn heavy!! The second it was finished Brandon picked up a ball and went right to work trying it out:

Then we went and picked up the desk for Wes's office. The desk that probably won't fill through his office door, but we have to keep anyway because it got rained on. Just like the cabinets I was painting in the garage. But that is a whole 'nother story and I don't feel like swearing this morning, so I'll share it another time.

While we had the trailer (borrowed from our awesome neighbors to pick up the desk), we figured we should pick up the rest of the bark that we need for our front yard. So before we could unload the desk, we had to take out all of the bark and spread it.

Then Wes I had to return the lighting fixture and towel rack that I spent 5 hours shopping for because they didn't fit, as well as find ones that would work. We had no luck finding replacements. Apparently, I will be making a towel holder. While we were out, we remembered we had to go to the scout office and get Spencer's new stuff for boy scouts. Seventy dollars for the shirt, accessories, and a book. Holy stinkin' crap! (Sorry mom.) If Wes and I ever get a divorce it will probably be about scouts. ;) Let's just leave it at that.

Then we had to pick up some food for the camp-out, and Brandon & Wes had to pack to make sure they weren't missing anything. By the time we got all that finished, there was no time to hang the cabinet. No big deal. Right before we went to bed, Wes tried to replace the toilet tank. It kept leaking, so he tried to tighten the bolt. It cracked the tank. So now we have to replace the toilet. Sigh. It really does never end, does it?
