Monday turned out okay after all. Especially because the girls and I went shopping while the boys went to hockey practice. (What gender stereotypes! Oh well...) Who can have a bad day when they now have an oriental rug for a mouse pad? And I finally bought a desk chair, I've been using a dining room chair for awhile. The color is a bit weird but I figure with $10 of fabric to recover it and the fact that it was only $40 to begin with, I'm still way under the usual price of desk chairs. It's pretty comfy too.
But I was a little shocked by the stores. It's January, right? The middle of winter for most of the northern hemisphere? Then why the heck are all the spring/summer clothes out? In my inbox this morning Old Navy was advertising 2 for $12 tank tops. Target has out Easter dresses and capris and pastel short sleeve shirts. I'm not ready for spring yet. Heck I'm not even ready for Christmas and it's over. Now I feel pressured to buy the kids' spring/summer wardrobe because the selection is good right now but they won't be able to wear the clothes for at least another 4 months (April is iffy). The stress of it all!!!
The good news about the spring/summer stuff being out already is that all the winter clothes (my original purpose) are on clearance. I bought stretchy pants, sweatshirts, and sweatpants for $2 each at Target for the twins. They have PE twice a week now and can't wear jeans those days. For Christmas, they received 3 pairs of jeans each. I hate it when irony smacks me upside the head like that.
Now if you'll excuse me, I have a TV bench to build.
