Most sensible people probably know better than to do this...I am one of them. The Rooster, however, would rather "deal with them than pay a sitter"....a few more outings like today and he just may change his tune!
We are in search of a sofa. Our current sofa sectional is AWFUL. The Chicks have jumped on it, broken the frame, and beat it to absolute crap. It's uncomfortable, the dog ate the cushions, so there is literally towels and duct tape holding them together...it's been a good run...well, not really...it's been a run, and it's time we parted ways with our current seating arrangement.
I went shopping for an entire day with just Chickette, and then again alone, and thought I had some decent options narrowed down. Showed The Rooster, and he wasn't "feeling" it, if you get my drift. So today, we decided to go furniture shopping, with 3 kids, ages 2, 4, and 5. The first stop we made was to LaZBoy. They were ok, but the sales lady was a tad passive aggressive with the kids...and not really all that helpful at all. Of course, when in a store full of recliners, the Chicks are going to figure out that they can pop them right up....so they eventually do this...and the not so kid friendly sales lady says "oh, can I show you how to put them back down"....all the while, I'm asking her does this particular sectional come w/out a recliner...for OBVIOUS reasons...see what I mean, they'll tear it up the first day, they'll open and close it all day long, and will probably lose a finger in the process. Wanna see??? So, we move on from this store, to Crate and Barrel...we walk in, after finding out the hard way in the parking garage that the back up beepers on my back up system are no longer beeping. I was pretty sure they weren't, because not so long ago at a friends house I backed right into a tree..but then I started second guessing myself b/c of all the kids and noise in the car...thought maybe it had beeped and I hadn't heard it...blah blah blah...wonder if they'll cover the damage caused from the stupid beepers not beeping! Seems like they should! Anyways...we go in, the kids find a sofa immediately to try out, and Busy Chick pushes Chickette (maybe on purpose maybe not) off the sofa and she hits her head on the coffee table...and screams at the top of her lungs, and then bears a purple knot on her head for the rest of the day. AWESOME. We're the Clampits, we'd love to shop in your store....
To make a long story short, we didn't buy a sofa, but have narrowed down more of what we're looking for.....and so the fun continues.
Until next time...
