We were fortunate to be gifted our first vacuum for our first married Christmas from Dallan's generous parents, as you all know I'm pregnant and that vacuum is HEAVY to push around it always leaves me with back pain and back cramps. So I boycotted vacuuming until Dallan would get me a new one. And we have dog who sheds more than I would like (don't ever getting a shedding dog!) so waiting too long to get a vacuum was out of the question! And expecting Dallan to do it consistently with full time work and school wasn't going to happen. So off toTarget we went checking out all of our options and we saw an "all floors" vacuum that was light weight easy to use and very reliable. It was on the pricey side but Dallan being the nice guy that he is let us splurge and get it! It only weighs 11lbs people! Me likey! (In the grossest smackiest voice you can think of) We got home I ripped at of the box and immediately went to work and it worked like a charm! So why the need to buy two vacuums if the one just purchased works so nicely? I'll tell you why! As I was making my way up to the second portion of the stairs I left the vacuum on the big platform in between to two sections of stairs, and as I was walking the cord up Jack decided to he wanted to come up too, I looked back at him and realized he was straddling the cord so I started to lower the cord down to his feet so he'd step out of it. Bad Idea! The brush of the cord down his leg sent him into panic mode and before I could react the cord was whipping through my fingers. (cord burns hurt!) I've never seen Jack run down those stairs so fast I've never seen a vacuum fall down the stairs that fast! They were neck and neck the whole way down. Jack beat it. I screamed JACK!!!!!! And Dallan came running out of the bedroom he could of course hear the commotion and then he saw our brand new quite pricey vacuum on its side at the bottom of the stairs. Thanks to pregnancy I couldn't even explain the what happened because lets be honest I was crying. Dallan just hugged me and said it was no big deal and we could just return it if it seemed broken. After about a week of use Dallan was sure the suction was a little weak so he took it back to Target and without any hassle we exchanged it. And that is the story of getting two new vacuums!

Ha ha ha. I don't think you told me you cried! That is awesome. I totally know the feeling.
Gotta love pregnancy hormones! Glad everything turned out ok in the end.
