I’m glad Fadra created Stream of Consciousness Sunday, because I’ve got nothing else today. I’m out of energy. My friends and I went shopping today, and if it wasn’t for this meme, I would totally have given up on the concept of NaBloPoMo today. Thank you, Fadra.
I took my friends on our annual shopping pilgrimage to the Grove City Outlets today. BigBrother recently had another growth spurt and was sporting both flood-length pants and shirts with sleeves that were somewhat hilarious. I’m thankful that I had enough foresight to purchase some jeans for him on sale during our spring trip so that he had something to wear. At the end of today’s trip, I feel confident in saying that he’s officially set for the season.
Shopping for the boys was, as per usual, a disappointment. Aisle upon aisle of colorful, fun, in-style things for girls and just zilch when it came to selection for boys. It’s navy blue or red. And in big boys, it’s skater stuff or nothing. Thankfully, Gymboree had some great firefighter stuff carried over from last year in some new styles and colors. Children’s Place came through with a few dress shirts and some great thermals — which I find good for layering or wearing alone. Carter’s was a huge disappointment. I tried to steal a shirt from Osh Kosh — totally an accident and I did end up paying for it — but it was only because I decided not to buy an ugly flannel and forgot I had another shirt draped on my arm. It’s just so hard to find clothing for boys. Frustrating!
It was a fun day though, and I introduced Mandy to Primanti Brothers. I also found a few nice things for myself. The day was a success — even if my back does hurt very badly now. The things we do for our children!
