White Trash Couch

http://www.coolmom.com ||
Well, we are wrapping up "Madoff Week" here on Cool Mom. Our money being stolen caused one behavioral change in me: how I reacted to Vivien getting furniture or rugs dirty. Before I would be like, "Oh, Vivien, you need to be more careful." The first week after we found out the trajectory of our lives was up for grabs, I practically cried if she spilled on my couch, "Vivien, this cost mommy a lot of money" (when she had it). "Please no more food near my couch." (I started calling everything 'mine," taking it all personally).

Then I realized that having a 3 year old and wanting to preserve furniture that I could no longer afford to replace was setting us up for failure. So, this was my temporary solution. A little later, the couch you see was loaded up and sits in my mother in law's spare room. I had two couches; now I only have room for one. And there is NO eating on it. The good thing about a small house is Vivien can see the TV from our dining room and the computer and the toaster you get the picture.
