I did a dumb thing, but am excited about it!!

So, let me preface what happened to cause me to make a bad decision.... today has been a messy day. Literally. I have been on this new kick, to make sure that the house is completely clean before I go to bed.... toys cleaned up, dishes done, laundry put away etc... I have been doing pretty well too!! However, I got home from work today to discover that my work out DVD was MIA. I was pretty peeved about this because I know that it was there when I left. After ripping the house apart looking for it, I finally found it after pulling the entertainment center away from the wall for the third time.. it was stuck on the center itself, face-down so was nearly impossible to see. Luckily, Gavin was playing with something that reflected off the DVD, so it was found... YAY!! However, the house was now a mess. I got everything put back away, and took Makenna upstairs to put her to bed. I come down to what Gavin called "snow"... he had found the styrofoam padding from one of my Willow Tree figures and SHREDDED it! Now, this stuff, as you probably know is very static-y ( is that a word) and Gavin had tracked it into EVERY ROOM IN THE HOUSE. Needless to say, I got very good use of my "naughty face" ( My cute little niece Katie does it and is adorable! Mine isn't so cute...) I made Gavin help me clean up the big pieces, then I had to get out the vacuum for the rest. Remember, I just put Makenna down, so turning on the vacuum was not something that I was super excited to do). Anywho, we got it cleaned up. By this time, I have had it. I need something to comfort me...the Girl Scout cookies are gone and I need somthing NOW!!! So, I was browsing online and I get a pop-up for American Girl. You, now, those super cute dolls that have realistic clothes. I have wanted one since third grade and so, I bought one. How dumb am I!! I'm a grown person!! ( Woman just sounds funny in reference to myself, and I don't think I qualify as a girl anymore... so person it is) I shouldn't be buying dolls for myself! But, I did it, and I am very excited for the package to come. I did justify a little, thinking that when Makenna is a little bigger, she will get one of her own, then it will have a "friend", but it is really for me!! So, am I totally dumb? Or did I just do something that most of you other ladies have wanted to do, but were to afraid because we are too old for dolls now? I think I am just dumb!! However, if anybody wants to come have a tea party, you can bring your doll too and we will make a day of it!!

That's funny I have a couple boxes in my basement full of porcelin dolls. That strofoam is such a pain to clean up a couple months ago the girls found some and I am STILL finding tiny pieces of it

Good for you! I think it's ok to buy yourself something special once in awhile. Besides it's better than emotional eating (which I am a pro at). One thing however, as the Grammy I think the "snow" thing is funny. Love ya!
