So today was my day to do my Christmas shopping. I'm all geared up. I'm ready to go out there and face the world head on....and I froze. I get to the store and I have no idea on earth what in the world to buy my kids.
"What if they don't like what I get"
"What if they complain"
"What if....what if....what if....oh my goodness I was playing the what if game!"
What was wrong with me! I was just litterly laughing at myself in the store as I'm going up and down the asiles. I mean seriously, how many Barbie's can a girl have? Or dress up clothes? :o) Or how many match box cars do my boys need? I get a bit tired of walking around at night stepping on diecast airplanes that leave imprinted holes in my feet! :o)
So I call for reinforcement on the phone...and can't get Chad. So call my neighbor who is watching all my kids. I start to feel like Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman when I say....
"I have all this money to spend and I just can't spend it"
The problem is...the store will take it, but I just can't put Power Rangers into my cart!
She's yelling at me to SPEND, SPEND, SPEND! I felt like I was on one of those shopping spree shows! So I'm back off to the toy section only to find myself in dispair again!
So I finally get a hold of Chad and he is laughing at me uncontrollably and tells me to get the small stuff and he'll take care of the big stuff. See, I'm just not a shopper! I'm the leagalist in the family! He's the fun one! The big spender! I can have fun, but I'm practical! I buy the food, clothes, and shoes. He buys the fun stuff! I can't just go out on a big shopping spree. I get lost! I have to have a list of what fun stuff to buy! Now how fun is that?
You tell me I've won the lottery, give me a million dollars, and someone will have to give me a list on how to spend it. I'd be totally lost. ;o) But we sure would have a lot of fun laughing about it!
