Trying to find a new table

August 17, 2008

We are trying to find a new table for our kitchen. We had a farm house style table I loved that we bought six years ago. The problem is at the time we bought it we lived in a condo we were renting and had the space for it. Now that we have bought a house, it really was too big for the kitchen. I mentioned to hubby that I like to find a new table, a round one and smaller, maybe with a leaf, and sell our old table. Well his friend who is recently divorced was here at my garage sale and I mentioned the table for sale once we found a new table. Well this guy went from just renting a house to boom he bought a house last Monday and moved in this weekend. He told hubby at work Friday he was coming for the table. I was caught off guard and thought what will we do, hubby said we get one this weekend. Well I am NOT have any luck in finding a smaller table that is priced within our budget. I don’t want to put it in a credit card. Right now I have a blue card table (not in the best condition) with two plastic lawn chairs in my kitchen. It looks as if this is how it may be for a while. I cried last night and told hubby why did he not tell his friend we need TIME to find the new table. He said he felt bad for him. So now my kitchen looks hideous! So I told him I was going to go today to find a NEW white card table and 4 matching chairs and call it day! I rather have that than that nasty old blue one until we can save up to afford a table.

Another reason I don’t want to spend a lot is because of our kids. My son has done damage to the last table, like taking something really hot from the microwave and placing it right on the table without a plate and there is a worn look marking. He scratched with the top of a pencil with the eraser gone, perfect o’s on my table. He does his school work there so I don’t really want to spend a lot of money for something he may just scratch up you know?

There is one on sale today in the KMart ad, so we will go look at it today. I like how it looks but it may be too big. We shall see….
