boots

about a month ago, i was digging through kohl's shoe department to find a pair of boots and since i like to hide things for another day,....{not because i haven't got enough money or anything but because i shop with my two very lovely wild and crazy children and sometimes we need to scoot before i go berserk} i hid this black pair that were low with zippers on the side somewhere in the mens shoes. went back days later to find that they DO clean their store up at the end of the day and browsed the women's section to find them staring right back at me. i said to myself i wasn't letting them get away this time. here's the thing. my kids are great kids. but i'm constantly shopping for them and i end up buying myself nothing. i always put it back or say i would just rather make them happy and let them buy things. but then they take it to a whole nother level. they can't wait patiently for me to finish what i'm looking for so i end up getting really peeved because the store is crammed in that department. mind you, i have to make sure no one steals my six year old because she is that cute and she could go for millions in another country,..but they fail to realize this and think they can head to their department, so guess what...i have to get up and go be by their side because nobody is making a couple dollars off this gorgeous face. and where is dad. dad is off yonder because men think they don't have to have the kids in stores. they get to wonder and if i tell him to take the kid,...he doesn't pay much attention so i worry and that doesn't make for a good shopping eve. he'd probably notice she was missing ten minutes later.

After I bought the black ones at kohls, m was doing her photo shoot and slipped down some stairs. she scuffed the top of my new boots. i didn't care much. i was just concerned if she was okay and she was. this is why you don't let almost 12 year old girls wear grown up ladies boots that slip. so much for doing a photo shoot myself in those boots. now i'm on the hunt for more. we went to the mall last weekend when we ran into the same problem. dad gets impatient waiting for me and the girls are trying on every pair of display shoes possible. dillards is packed. we stumble across uggs that m wants. i had not like them at all but was monkeying around with them and dillards had some pretty ones. i then wanted a pair.

but now spending 180 on a pair of boots seems ridiculous but they are comfy and since we both want some that would be 360 just on boots. oh and i bought some for sugar mama. so now we are at 540 plus tax over six hundred bucks on boots. that's just crazy. so i'm going to vs this weekend and going to see if they have cheaper boots i like. i could spend that much on a pair of boots or anything i wanted but it just seems so odd to me. does anyone else feel that way. i don't know...maybe it's a mom thing.

xoxo happy boot shopping
