Just My Size
Last Read: |
The boys and I were getting bored yesterday so we went to the Salvation Army to see if we could find something used and cheap for Chris to wear for Halloween. My boys will probably go over to the churches' trunk or treat deals they do every year. They never really eat the candy they get. Usually, my sweet tooth takes over and it gradually disappears....especially the chocolate. That's probably why I have to get another tooth capped soon. They didn't have anything left that would fit Chris at the Salvation Army, but I found some picture frames just the right size for the school pictures my sister gave me. The boys found a Star Wars monopoly game, too. They haven't played board games for awhile, but seem to be collecting different monopoly and Life games. Since they were really interested in it, and it was so cheap, I let them get it. While I was standing in line, I noticed that a woman had found some really nice athletic shoes there, so, looking down at how worn out my shoes had become, I forfeited my place in line and went on a treasure hunt to find some for myself. My sons were getting impatient with me and the line was getting longer, so I went back to the line without any shoes. I waited for a couple of minutes, in the line, then across the store, I saw that there were more athletic shoes in another place. I asked Chris to go find a pair in my size, so reluctantly, he walked over to the shoes and picked out a beautiful, hardly-worn, pair of Asics! He held up the shoes, and from across the store told me that they were a half-size too small. I told him to get them anyway. They were really nice shoes! And, get this! I think I was supposed to be behind this particular person before I made my purchase. The lady in line before me pulled out a military card from her purse and asked the cashier if they were still giving out a twenty-five percent discount for people with military cards. I hadn't even heard about that discount until then, so Zach pulled out his military ID card and showed the woman at the register. We got the shoes, the game, and the picture frames all for less than six dollars! When I got home and tried on the shoes, they fit perfectly! It's almost like they were put there just for me! Chris told me this brand of shoes is really expensive, new. I took the boys to get something to eat after that, then we remembered that our library materials were due. We had to go back home to get them. Since the library started charging late fees this month for overdue materials, I didn't want to chance turning them in late. We went to the bookmobile and turned in our movies, picking out a few more. Chris found a joke book he couldn't put down, too. After that, he reminded me that he still didn't have a costume. I took them to another thrift store, but there wasn't anything there that he could use, either. We decided to go to Walmart. He ended up getting a black shirt and vest so he could be a secret agent or something. I was happy because he can just wear those things any day and they look nice on him. Now, if I could only get him to get his hair cut! |
