At the beginning of March I decided to buy Olivia a new bedroom set. The reason I made this choice was two fold; One, her mattresses were at least a decade old and she was the third owner and two, I was tired of Lilly (our Beagle/Lab mix) taking everything under the sun under her bed to chew and destroy.
I went to Value City Furniture and picked out a super cute set! It is called OMG! and is white with some pink accenting on it. I did the package deal which meant I got the headboard, foot board, dresser and mirror. I ordered a trundle bed for it so that Lilly wouldn't be able to get under the bed anymore. Plus, my girls like to slumber in each other's rooms and this was the perfect solution all the way around. The only drawback was it was all on back order for a month! However, I was willing to wait because I had much to do in her room before it arrived.
Finally the day arrived when the bed would be delivered. Olivia and I were both excited! She had been counting down the days until it came since I told her about my purchase...The bed comes, the delivery guys set it up, I sign the paperwork and they left. I went upstairs to make up the bed before Olivia got home from school.
I put the sheets on the bed, put her princess quilt on followed by decorative pillows. It looks perfectly adorable! I then move on to the trundle bed...I start to pull it out from under the bed and BAM just like that the whole front end of it falls off! My first reaction is to look around for children because surely I could not be responsible for the demise of this bed so quickly! Then I realize this was all me and out of no where comes Sarah who takes one look at the bed, then me and says, "REALLY MOM? Why did you do that to LivLia's bed?" WOW! If that wasn't a turning of the tables moment I don't know what is!
At this point I am beyond pissed! I got up, got my receipt and immediately called Value City and demanded a new trundle. Seriously, this bed was in my house for less than 30 minutes and was all ready broken. They, of course, agreed to give me a new trundle but I have to wait till this coming Wednesday to get it. Great!
Sincerely,
The Queen of Insanity (and apparent super human strength)
