Ouch! Lesson learned

I am stubborn. While at times this can be beneficial, usually I find that it isn't. We have this very old chair in our dining room that sits at our computer desk. It came along in the marriage to my husband. I love this chair because I find it soOOOOO comfortable. Being a stay-at-home mom provides the opportunity to spend many hours at the home computer and a comfortable chair is a must! This chair has been slowly falling apart for about a year, but the rate of disintegration began increasing in the new year. My husband kept saying we needed to do something about it...get rid of it...find a better chair (he doesn't find it nearly as comfortable). I was stubborn though, and basically chose to ignore the problem. This morning, however, it could be ignored no longer. One of the legs began to come apart so I just put it back together in a simple manner. As I was sitting down I was having the thought, "I wonder how long this is going to hold," when I heard a creak. The chair fell into several pieces, I fell with it and managed to bang my head on the plaster wall in the process. Okay, I think it's time for a new chair. In the meantime I'll use a very uncomfortable dining room chair. And HT (5 years old) has assured me that he'll fix it when he's grown up.
