It is common knowledge in my family that I am probably the most indesicive person in the entire world. I can rarely make my mind up about anything, and I am constantly changing my mind (to Jamisons annoyance). A great example of this is that in the 3 yrs we have been married I have pretty much redecorated our home about 5 times. HOW ANNOYING! I KNOW! I get tired of things so quickly, things that 2 weeks ago I absolutly loved. Because of this I have learned (and basically been told I must do by Jamison), if I see something expensive I love and I "must have", I have to wait a few days to buy it. The funny thing is that its usually a really good thing I do this, because after a few days of thinking about it, I usually decide I dont like what ever the item is as much as I thought I did.
Well, since Chase is 19 months, and incredibly tall for her age, we have decided we are going to start looking for her a bed to replace the crib. When I was pregnant with her I was working at Pottery Barn Kids, and was able to get a great deal on some cute antique white furniture thats in her room now. So I have always kept my eyes open for a bed that would match this stuff that wasnt to expensive ( I dont want to buy her a 2000 dollar bed from PB kids, nor can we afford it). So about a week ago I was at Cosco and saw this awesome twin bed, antique white, so adorable, that I thought would match her stuff.....and of course I told Jamison we "had to have it" and then I bought it. I hauled it home had Jamison haul it out of the car and into our storage, and then I got that sick feeling, that feeling of "maybe I dont like this bed as much as I thought I did, this bed I just spent a fair amount of money on, this bed I thought I loved". To make a long story short I returned the stupid bed. And the funny thing is I felt so bad about buying it and having everyone go to the trouble of helping me haul it home that I some how hauled it out of storage all by myself (it was in 4 boxes, probably about 200 lbs each) and into our car. It took me almost 45 min to do it, and while doing so I dropped a box on my foot, and am now missing a toe nail, and hurt my back so badly it still pains me to walk. I thought I was stronger than I actually am.
So the moral of this story is, I need to freaking learn my lesson already!!!

You returned it!?! I love that bed! I too am impulsive when I buy stuff. My problem is that if I decide I better not get something, I regret it for the rest of my life "if only I had bought that shirt, I would look so cute right now". But if I do buy something, I take it home and it won't fit right or I decide it isn't as cute as I thought it was and I regret buying it. Its a no win situation for me. Obviously we are family.
It was so fun to run into you yesterday. Chase is even cuter in person. Your story cracks me up. I don't know how many times I will almost buy something and then put it back right before we check out cause I feel so guilty. Hope the guilt wares off once Chad has a job.
