No Shopping Again.


Happy Saturday Everyone!
Well it is official and I am making an anouncement!
I have finally lost my everloving mind!
Who I ask You, goes to Michaels on a Saturday!
Let it be known, Never ever again!
First of all the secret is.....I am not a shopper!
But I had a 40% off coupon and I knew what I needed!
And I had a ride! It was so busy, that I know why I used to shop on
my Lunch Breaks at work, so as never to venture out on a weekend,
in November before Christmas.
I was in and out before my husband had time to park the truck
with my purchase in hand!
I also needed some paint, but it was literally blocked by I kid you not,
two strollers for twins, one at one end, the other at the other end.
And they were chit chatting away.
I left, I had to get out of there.
Now this brings me to my next point,
I am bowing down to every person that has ever taken their children into that kind of situation that have left the building, with their hair on head, sanity, and the children.
I have decided this that all those Mothers in Michaels
need a raise, need to be praised by everyone of us,
for the strength they show shopping!
Maybe when Mothers give birth,
they are in so much pain that nothing ever bothers them again.
Not having been a mother myself, when I have had my nieces and newphews
I would turn the sprinkler on and we would play outside.
Oh no there were no adventures as mentioned above!
God bless Mothers!
If I had just one iota of their strength
I would be a happy woman!
...............
So after leaving there and being in traffic for 20 minutes
we decided to go to the Craft Show in our neighborhood.
We looked around, talked with a few people,did not buy anything.
I was exhausted,so we went home for a nap, when I woke up my husband had gone and
had purchased the above item that I had said I liked earlier!
I was quite surprised!
I had told him that it reminded me of Canmore where we have gone on vacation many times.
So that was my day, we are about to watch a movie now!
..........
oh and we went out for Brunch.
so it really was a lovely day!
I have the utmost respect to any mother out there!

  4. Yes khande he does, I will call you tomorrow.

    Bernie, Oh I am so glad and that you had fun, I think Bernie because I don't do alot of shopping, I totally forget, there was lineups but they had all their tills open. I have been in there before and have spent a couple hours looking. You would have laughed at me today.Good about almost being finished.

    Beth, it sounds like you and I are in the same boat, I think we would rather be on an adventure alone or with hubbies.

  5. Oh Cinner, I **NEVER** venture in the 'jungle' of shopping over the weekend! All that mess drives me crazy! AND you should be over here to understand! Your 'jungle' is not NEARLY as 'JUNGLE' as our own!;))
    Hugs,
    Monicaxo.
    P.S Love the bears, they remind me of the Adirondack Mountains!

  6. HI CINNER-

    I was exhausted just reading about your day. And yes, Mother's are a uniquely almost alien-like brood of strength! :-) An uncanny ability to multi-task- eyes every where-arms holding everything. Although once, with three kids in tow, my son, just two at the time, stood up in the carriage and fell out. Thank God he was fine. Amen.
    I love that your husband went and got you that treasure yu liked. :-)
    Love to you
    Gail
    peace.....

  7. Gail, Thank God he was fine, I am exhausted today. I was surprised, the picture does not do it justice. Be well today my friend.

    Monica, oh no I will keep my jungle, there used to be a quiet time in traffic. I don't find that anymore. Your jungle probably never has a quiet time. I envision your part of it very peaceful. I tried to get on your website and it would not open...so will try again today. Take care.
