my Supposedly Xmas shopping

I decided to have MY Xmas shopping last Saturday. I need to reward myself since I've been working on weekends twice last November and will work straight from Dec. 3-23 including weekends. so no time to shop. I was thinking of buying a new pair of boots (after reading Sandra's Boots Fashion Show). It'll be great to have one especially wearing my jeggings.

We went first to StyleSense (shoes haven with low prices). No luck. We went next to Winners my favorite store (who doesn't?). But unfortunately, I don't find anything I like.
Whenever we go to Winners, my kids usually stays at the toys section. So I let them scan the toys there. My son saw a pencil set with a Bakugan design. Bakugan? what's that? He never let go of the pencil set. so I just let him hold it for a while and maybe before we leave the store he will forget about it. I found a pair of pants for him and went straight to the cashier. Since Christmas is fast approaching, expect a long line. And there, a very, very long line. I'm not falling in line, don't have the patience to stand there for only one item. And besides it will really take my time and I don't have my boots yet.

Ready to leave, here comes my son holding the Bakugan pencil set. He really wants it. I told him I am not buying it. After hearing the NOT buying it, he's ready to throw a tantrum. Teary eyed and crying out loud made me irritated. I told my hubby I will not fall in line for just two items. Sorry son, cry your heart out, even cry out loud and make a scene but I will definitely not be carried away.

A little irritated, what's a Bakugan anyway? Bakugan is a Japanese anime Tv series which initially failed in Japan but is so popular in USA and Canada. What's in it that he really like? And how come he knew about it? So Hubby and I decided to take him to Walmart and look for a Bakugan toy. So he agreed and stopped crying. Next destination: Walmart.

Finally, we found the Bakugan toy and costs almost six dollars! But since we promised, we bought it. Enough with the Bakugan! It's my turn now. We went to another Winners, still no luck. But hubby is happy, he bought a pair of Nike rubber shoes. Hmmp... and I'm the one shopping here.

And we went home without my boots. :(
