I was on the phone with a friend before it all began. I had a feeling things were going to get bad. I tried to convince myself things would be OK. She reassured me. It would be fun, she said.
Torture in it’s worst form: school shopping. I don’t enjoy shopping anyway (I know, I’m a freak of estrogen nature.) Maybe it’s the laying down the cash; maybe it’s that I can never find what I like. I just don’t love it. I have been advised to avoid Back 2 School shopping sprees, but people- I can see my kids’ toes through their shoes. It’s time. And when my son has worn the same 3 shirts and 3 pairs of shorts for the past 2 years, I think we’re overdue. And to top it off, people tell me the shopping is only going to get worse when my daughters reach teenagerdom. If that’s true, they can wear clothes fashioned from tissue paper, because it aint happenin’. Seriously. 6 1/2 hours, and the only fruits of our efforts were: 2 shirts, 2 pairs of shorts, and some socks
That’s it.
OK, so we might have gotten a few school supplies and clothes for some other kids……some people are a little pickier than others....I’ll give you a hint: his name rhymes with a department store he would never step foot in.

At least now he has a couple new items to go back to school in.
I DO NOT like to shop either. I never have. It is good to know I have a fellow anti-shopper in my ranks.:) My husband loves to shop. Go figure.
I'll take you and your kids shopping! I love it, especially when it's a JCPenney's. Every time I go in there, I walk out with over $200 in merchandise and have never paid more then $80 for all of it. Most of their deals beat even Targets sales.
I have more than once had a free $10 thingy to JCPenny and walked out with NOTHING. Can't say I like that store. Target and Mervyn's (boo hoo) have been my staples. Oh and Costco. Sears for my little ones, and shoes. And ShopKo with their AMAZING return policies....more on that later.
I do most of mine online. I sure beats dragging kids all over town. I would enjoy shopping more if I had the money to do it.
Oh, how I miss having stores to shop in!!!!! I love to shop, but without the kiddos...which has not happened for two years now because when we go "over the mountain" we all have to go. Most of my shopping has been online or a quick glance at the clearance rack at Target and Walmart.
OK, I'll be grateful we have stores so close to shop at.....
i love to shop for new clothes and shoes, my favorite clothes store is old navy!!
I had fun shoping with you, Hailey!
Sorry my positive vibolas didn't do the charm.. :)
