Alright stop rolling your eyes and hear me out first please.
I generally love Christmas time but it is damn near impossible for me to shop for Christmas
Gifts with laylaboo in tow, Sometimes she is able to stay with friends and or she is at school
And I get off work early and can go shopping. But usually I have to bring her along which is
Fine just extra work having to be creative. I usually have her stand on the next aisle over and
wait while I pick out a gift, but even then it becomes a matter of which monster high doll was
It she wanted? Does she really need this ? As she is getting older she plays less
And does more crafts so it makes shopping a little more hard and having to be creative.
You should see the looks I get when I throw my jacket and whatever else I can find over
The stuff I have in my cart. You would think I was shoplifting.. But come on what else am I
going to do so Laylaboo doesn't see her stuff. I almost died when on one aisle I was covering
The monster high dolls up with my coat and making sure Laylaboo wouldn't figure out what
They were when this lady came up to me and said Honey crime is a life for no one you wont
Get very fair shoplifting . And besides those dolls are no gift any child should be getting there from the devil.
I smiled my best smile and said I realize that but these damn
Monster High dolls they keep telling me to come back here and please take them home
But sometimes I just don't have the money but they scare me and say please bring us home with
You so I just don't know what to do ? They drive me crazy!! You understand don't you? The
Look of pure horror on her face was so hilarious she just stood there with her mouth wide open
Then she shook her head and said Honey I really Hope you get help It's people like you who
Make this world unsafe. I'll show her unsafe I wish I could of took a monster high doll out of
The box and made It "say please come back we really want to be your friend". lol....The look
On her face I bet would have been priceless. I can't stand nosy people.
Anyway I called Laylaboo over and we headed to the register I usually make her go
Somewhere close enough I can keep a eye on her but not where she can see what I am
Buying. This particular shopping trip I was At my favorite store target so I just had her
Go to the dollar section and wait for me. I patiently waited as the cashier rang me up and
Kinda panicked as I watched my total go up but was relived when all the 5.00 target cards I
Saved up all year only left me paying 5.00 bucks in cash yeah! Now It was time for me to go on
the hunt for the last two must have Christmas gifts for laylaboo was a mp3 player and Austin
Mahone anything. The problem with this was that number 1. Austin Mahone was a up and
coming singer which meant he was getting really popular but were not talking popular like
Justin Bieber you know what I mean you mention his name and the fan girls start crying and
Hyperventilating . You go in any store you find Jb. stuff you go looking for Austin mahone and
Have to do some searching,I did find some stuff in Claire's but everything was overpriced and
I also found some stuff on amazon but I am still on the hunt for more things.
She needed a Ipod. Not a mp3 player ,She didn't even know what the difference was she just
wanted a Ipod Because her friends had one. also a problem I needed to save up money to
Download all the songs she would ask for. I also needed to find one in my budget and not
A ghetto looking one either, Or a pink one she really despise the color pink.
Do you know How many pink ones I have come across??? her favorite color is green I can find
Pink and red and blue but no green. so frustrating. I have been to many stores and found many
mp3 players they are either to expensive , screen to small, no screen at all, or they are brands
That I have never heard of and know nothing about.
. On to problem #2. Austin mahone is a up and coming
Singer so this means that yes he is popular but we are not talking Justin bieber popular...
You know total chaos and you say his name and a thousand fan girls start crying and
Hyperventilating . I searched high and low seriously...I manage to find some things at Claire's
Can you say overpriced. I found some stuff on amazon...I am still searching.
And never go into to a best buy when there is only immature snarky zit face teenager boys
Working and try and ask if they have any Austin Mahone stuff. You will only get snarky
Dumb ass comments some of which may be my Favorite one today "Aren't you kinda old to be
Listen to him?". To which I replied it's for my daughter but even if it was for me who the hell
Are you to assume how old I am and to imply I can't listen to someone because there a teen?
Snarky teenager employee decided it was best to have someone help me before I chewed him up and spit
Him back out. Even better Dumb Ass number #2 who had no idea who I was talking about.
He just keep saying is he like a second coming of Justin Bieber? I smirked . Um yeah I guess you could say that.
All I want to know is if you guys have anything Austin Mahone! Dumb ass #2
Just stands there I felt like I needed to start belting out a Austin mahone
Song or doing a dance from his video Which I am not ashamed to say that I do know all of his
Songs I am mom Fan so what. Anyway I just left I could not take it anymore.
My mp3 shopping was even more horrifying. After I told laylaboo to wait a aisle over from the
Mp3 players I asked bored teen boy at Toys R us if he could help me out. I whispered what I was
Looking for so Laylaboo wouldn't hear. and asked his opinion on them since I had really no
He was really helpful maybe to helpful because apparently I had given off the vibe that as a
Single mom I was needing to be seduced. He was to close to me and really needed to stop
Touching my arm. He made wired jokes and asked me what kind of music I was into and did
I know that I could buy a shower proof protector for the mp3 player so I could dance in the
Shower.....Ummm Yeah I was making that face too.....ewwee just retyping it makes me sick.
I did a horrified face and said thanks and found laylaboo and left fast O' and sanitized my arm.
I Went to what felt like a thousand stores searching just for a simple mp3 player.
It should not be this hard to find one I don't think? I am still searching with only 9 days
Left until Christmas. And If one more sales person tells me I should just buy a Ipod
I am going to scream. I know a Ipod is better but they are way expensive and she is 8.
She does not get one if I don't have one..lol.
I knew Laylaboo was probably getting really tired and I still had to take her to the mall She
Wanted to buy me a Christmas gift she had only 8.00 But wanted to get me something really
Nice The problem with her wanting to Christmas shop for me was that 1. she never had much
Money. and 2.as hard as she tried to hide it I always saw what she was getting because I couldn't
Let her go off by herself to far. So this year I took her to the mall. She picked Victoria secret
Which I love but we all know can be expensive. I gave her 20.00 to help her out and let Laylaboo
Know the stuff I liked the scents I preferred and so on . I was going to just look around while
She got my gift But she really wanted to be a big girl and do it herself . So I noticed there was
A young girl just standing around so I explained to her that Laylaboo was Christmas shopping
For me and didn't want me to see and could she helped her out while I waited outside the store.
You should of seen the look on the girls face. You would of thought I said something horrible
She Looked at me and said are you serious? I smiled back and said yes, she is a customer isn't
That your job to assist her? She still just stood there. I got right in her face I am not asking you
To babysit her I am asking you to help her pick me something out so I don't see it , Is that to
Much to ask of you? I looked around the store that was pretty empty and said you don't seem to be,
Busy so could you just do a nice thing and help her out . The sales girl gave me a half smile and
said fine. I waited outside the doors for a few minutes. Laylaboo came bouncing out of the store
With a big pink box and proudly said I spent 28.00!! The Sales lady said why not spoil your
Mommy. Well played Victoria secret sales girl.. But I still left behind a comment card that
Awaits your boss so we are even:)
I guess I cannot complain to much I don't have to buy any other presents then Laylaboos I
Do stress over money but try to save as much as possible to make ends meet. It is just the stress
Of having to figure out ways to buy presents with her around and the snarky sales people
And other peoples comments that irk me . I hate when people say get a babysitter then go
Shopping that would mean I have to save up money for the babysitter and who knows how long
I would be gone and how much I would have to pay. I always manage to figure it out every year.
Would Life be easier if I wasn't a single Mom of course it would . But in the end being a single
Mom does not define me as a person I t just makes me stronger and able to handle tough
Situations and even snarky sales people.
Besides If I wasn't a single mom I wouldn't have awesome adventures and even better blogs to
Blog about and I especially wouldn't have Snarky employees to make there life fun and regret
That they came to work that day, Just kidding....um maybe a little.
