The voice of Reason

Yesterday afternoon, I went to A.C. Moore with my 3 year-old son to find a zipper for my latest knitted baby sweater.

Of course, since I was there I went to take a look at the yarn department and irresistibly started to fill my basket (notice that I didn't take a kart) with some yummy yarn! The feeling was delightful! Because of my "yarn diet", I haven't bought yarn in quite a while now... But I was ready to shamelessly betray my commitment to SOS!

I couldn't find any zipper though... Customer Service told me that they stopped holding zippers when they stopped holding fabrics... Great!!!

I was already earing my DH saying that I went in there for a zipper and came out with yarn and NO zipper! Oh well... He'll get over that (once again) right?

As I was talking toward the registers, I heard my son saying:

- "Are you sure you REALLY need ALL that yarn? You have a lot of yarn at home..."

Out of the mouth of the Babe, right? My 3 year-old brought me back to reality!!!

So, what would you do?

Well, I left the basket in the store and walked away empty handed...
