Oh 1985

I have been an emotional wreck. I have been told it is common for pregnant women to be all over the place and I am definitely emotional! Just to show you how crazy I have been I will share this almost embarrassing story with you. (My poor husband!) Rich and I went to Target a few days ago just to look. There isn’t a whole lot of fun things to do here so this is what we do in our free time. (I know, sad!) I always love looking at the toys and I am hoping for a girl so I was looking a Barbies. I spotted these new Barbies that are collector dolls and they have the most popular Barbie for certain years. I thought all that is so nice and it happened. I looked down and saw the 1985 Peaches and Cream Barbie. I quickly grabbed the Barbie and went into lala land. I started remembering those days when I would play with her in my hammy-down doll house. She was my favorite Barbie. She wasn’t new when I got her. My parents bought most of my Barbies, clothes, and my doll house used from Erin, a family friend. But she was in great shape and I loved her dress. As I’m standing there remembering all of these things, tears began to fill my eyes. I saw the price which was $45 but I just stood there determined to buy my doll. Rich stood there looking at me like I was a crazy person. He then noticed the price and looked at me and said no Jennie. I started to get upset and he told me to put her down that we weren’t going to spend that much money on a Barbie. I began to plead my case and tell him that he didn’t understand. He peeled my fingers off the barbie and put her up and I was so upset almost mad! I just stood there staring at the Barbie. I even slipped off to stare at her again a little later! Yes, I am a bit crazy these days. I cry over everything apparently even outrageously priced Barbies! Although I would love my my little girl to have her(if we have a girl) I do know that is really expensive! Never have I imagined that I would cry over a doll in the middle of Target. I just keep reminding Rich as well as myself that this will get better from what I hear. I only have a few weeks left of the 1st Trimester and then maybe I will be normal again.
