The fun of curtains.

Last night I had a sudden urge to go buy curtains. Well...maybe it wasn't so sudden, Tyler and I have been saying we've wanted to for several days, we've just never picked a time to do it. I guess it was sudden, because I was laying on the couch watching The Office in my pajamas no less, Tyler was at his brothers, and almost instantly I just wanted to go. I texted Tyler just to see what he would say. I was shocked when he said he would go (he was watching sports). He was home in minutes and off to Target we went, we had just pulled out, and I realized we didn't measure the window, Tyler assured me it was fine and we could figure it out. I picked out the ones that I wanted and Tyler looked at them and told me the size I got was WAY too small, he insisted we get different ones. Ones to cover like 8 ft. of window. I thought it would be more than enough curtain, but didn't question his belief that the ones I originally had picked up were too small. I trusted his opinion, especially because measurements and any sort of math is NOT my forte. We got home and Tyler ran back out the door to go watch the rest of the game, leaving me alone with the curtains.

I walked into the bedroom and laughed so hard I cried. I knew our window was not very big, but what I didn't know was how SMALL it really is. Let's just say if we cut the new curtains in half, we will still have extra! Needless to say, our curtains will be going back. Which last night, as funny as the whole thing was, was very disappointing. The reason we have been so anxious to get them is because our room is so bright at night. We have blinds, but all of the street lamps in our apt. complex shine right through them and straight into my face. I cannot wait for the day, when we have some that fit our window and help me get a better night's sleep! However, I am so so thankful for a funny husband who keeps me laughin, and is as clueless as me, when it comes to guessing the size of our window!
