March 1st...
I ordered Averi's crib from overstock.com when our tax money came in, and it finally came today! I was a little worried at first because the lady who called to verify that I would be home said I wasn't "allowed" to have any steps leading up to my door...umm ok, let me just take those off for you! I do have 3 steps and she said it would probably be alright. I politely said "ok thank you" but what I meant was: "No mam, I spent two hundred dollars on this crib and saw no 'stairs up to door' warning when I bought it. This nice gentleman drove it all the way here from who knows where and he is not turning his happy butt around until that crib is inside my house...!"
So anyway, he brought it in no problem (but I was really worried for a minute!) and set right inside my front door. Mind you, this thing was HEAVY! He was almost sweating just pulling it up the drive way on his dolly. He let me open it up and make sure everything was OK since the box was a little torn up from the trip...and the crib itself was fine. What I should have been looking for though, were the directions! I searched my way through the Styrofoam and tape and cardboard who knows how many times...nope. Now I have a pile of pieces in Averi's room and I don't know what to do with them. I felt like running down the street to stop him (not that he would have had the directions in his truck, but maybe he could put it together...men can do that kind of stuff, I'm told) but I didn't, because I was in my slippers. I called the manufacturer and they said they would TRY and e-mail me some...thanks guys, and then I will TRY and make something that at least resembles a crib.
