Perry loves those stairs. Now the baby gates must come up.
We received an ikea baby gate from my in-laws. Of course it came in several pieces and with a very vague piece of paper with pictorial directions. I am usually the queen of building, but these instructions actually baffled me. In the end, I managed to go through all 10 steps. The 11th step was the devil in disguise. I had to add the final part by adding the tension in the gate (so it would clamp on the wall). Then BANG*... it created a nice small fist sized hole in my wall.
I was sooooooooooo angry and depressed. To those who know me.. I am very stubborn when i make things. It has to be done correctly and perfectly. I will not stop until I have done everything to get it done.
So I was pissed:
-at myself for making a hole
-that the ikea directions were sucky
-that my wall was too thin to bear such stress
-that it was the wrong gate for the wrong wall
-that i had a HOLE that would remind me of my failure every time I walked by.
Please sulk with me.
