Good Deals and A Kid Free Outing...Halleuah or WTF?

So today the double A's are with their Aunt as they stay two days a week with her so hotness and I can either get some things done around the house or have a day with each other. I love my little ones, but I also love Tues and Thurs. Hotness wasn't feeling that well today, so after having lunch out, he headed home to read and rest, while I headed out to shop. Now, this Yankee town is not a big city, so the nearest Target, Mall, Old Navy, is about 25 min away. We do have a small "mall" that has a few stores but I don't believe it should be called a mall unless it has a Macy's. Well, I head to this thing this lovely city calls a Mall and I first stop at Steve and Barry's, where Sarah Jessica Parker has a line of clothing and everything in the store is $9.98. How could I go wrong here? Venus Williams, Amanda Bynes, Ben Wallace, and Laird Hamilton also have clothing lines there as well. After walking around for a half hour and trying on clothes that clearly were not measured correctly because nothing in my size fit, I have come to the conclusion that the stuff there is crap, cheap crap with a famous name on the tag. Very disappointed. SJP, very disappointed in you, no one on Sex and The City would wear that shit in that store.

Next, I headed down to, JC Penny's because it is dollar days there, so I pick up my Paul Mitchell Super Skinny and Smooth Shampoo and Conditioner for $26 and bought the styling gel as well and got my PM Clean Hairspray for a dollar. So girls, head on down to the Penny's to stock up on all of your hair needs. While at Penny's, I spotted a few things that I wanted to try on by Nicole Miller. Of course, everything I picked out was black, but very cute. Even though I am not in a good mall, I am enjoying looking around without someone asking me to go potty or for a cracker. My enjoyments turns to disgust in the dressing room. While trying on my garments, I hear a mother repeatedly tell her daughter not to lick the mirror. Yes, not to lick the mirror. I almost vomited in my mouth. Now, after the first time my double A's did something so nasty as that, I would have quietly told them to stop and it would have only had to have been done once. This redneck, told her stop at least 5-6 times, therefore I was so pissed that my quiet afternoon was being interrupted with this nastiness, that I left without buying anything other than my hair products. Total spent- 41.00

Next, off to Raggamuffins Consignment Shop where there is peace and quiet. I LOVE going into these shops because I don't feel guilty buying things because they are so inexpensive. Found a cute navy Gap blazer and two pairs of pants for Little Man, A brand new gap shirt for Little Mama and a cute, dark denim skirt and tan pants from Old Navy for me. Total spent- 9.82

After my little shopping spree, I went to the library to pick up a few books that ClemsonGirl suggested I read to help me get this household organized. After picking out my books, I had few minutes before I needed to pick up the children so I jumped on a computer to check my email and read a few blogs. Listen to this. Some dirt bag of a father had his small son, strapped to his stroller, with no toys, no snack, no nothing while he checked out girls on facebook, myspace, and god knows where else. This dirt bag was there before I was and for the next twenty minutes, this sweet little boy kept begging his dad to go home. So sad. The bitch in me went to the desk and told her that to no fault of his own, the little boy was disturbing the people trying to work and that is was unfair to him to have to sit there while his selfish dad did his thing. She said that she would take care of it. So I headed off to my car and spent the next ten minutes reading Martha Stewart and watching the exit door to the library like a hawk. After 10 min. I went back inside to see if this poor excuse for a father had left. Nope. Still sitting there and the little boy was still sitting there begging to go home. I promptly went downstairs and asked to see the head honcho, told her my story and she went upstairs to see the situation for herself. She reported back to me that they were monitoring the situation and that every patron has the right to be on a computer for 1 hour. Poor kid, he probably sat there the whole time. WTF is wrong with his father? I can't believe he actually enjoyed looking at questionable hot chicks while his three year old begged every min to go home. Loser. Stay tuned for the letter that I will be sending in to the editor of our local paper.

So, long story short (ha!) got some great deals, some alone time, and I now feel like the Angelina Jolie-Pitt of this town. Maybe I should adopt that little fella from the library and name him Patience. Needless to say, the double A's got a lot of hugs and loving from me when I saw them.
