Ever make a really bad financial decision? Have a weak moment and give into temptation? I have and it was last weekend. It had been a long hard week for me. Let's face it month. Gavin has had back to back colds and I have spent half the month trying to get him to sleep through the night. After about 5 days of sleeping through the night I think it is safe to say we have conquered, finally! Mike was in and out of town, he had a sinus infection as well so when he was home I didn't really feel like he was much help or company. Then most of the friends I get together with were out of town so I found myself feeling lonely, tired and bored. Our computer broken I also felt cut off from the outside world.
Then I had an idea. Why had I resisted my husbands urgings before? We rushed out Saturday and bought what Best Buy claimed to be "the last one." A Nintendo Wii. Yes, the solution to my boredom, answer to my loneliness, a companion. Some of you might be wondering right about now "did they get their computer fixed?" and the answer would be "No." The thought never entered our little heads as we rushed around buying up extra remotes and very expensive games only 2 to be exact. Soon after we got it home and had played happily while Gavin napped. The rule is we can only play while Gavin is sleeping. After a while buyers remorse set in. We don't have the money for this. What were we thinking? Well to be honest we weren't but in the words of Mike "I refuse to let buyers remorse ruin this for me." So I happily conquer Tiger Woods golf now after my chores are done and while my son sleeps blissfully unaware that his parents are a little crazy sometimes.
This morning it is early 4:35am to be exact. I should be getting ready to get on a plane and fly to L.A. but I sit here typing and eating cereal instead. My Mom, Gavin and I are going to my nieces 1st birthday party. I am a little nervous about flying with Gavin and since last minute my brother got a job in Louisiana and won't be there a little apprehensive about the trip. I know it will be great and I think will include Disneyland. So in the words of some Super Bowl hero that I can't remember "I'm going to Disneyland, baby!" and I will tell you about it when I get back.
Love ya all! Oh and if you have never made a bad financial decision feel free to not tell me about it. Ignorance is bliss, misery loves company. You get the idea. :)
