Christmas Song

Okay so have you heard this Christmas song called "Christmas Shoes"??? Really? Who on earth thought this was a good Christmas song to write? Every year I hear this song I end up sobbing in my car. Here is just a section of the lyrics...

Sir I wanna buy these shoes for my Momma please
It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size
Could you hurry Sir?Daddy says there's not much time
You see, she's been sick for quite a while
And I know these shoes will make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful
If Momma meets Jesus, tonight.

Aren't Christmas songs supposed to be uplifting and cheerful? "Rudolph The Red Nose Reindeer", "Santa Baby", "I want a Hippopotamus for Christmas" (my new fav!), etc. I just don't get it. I'm telling you right now, if you are tuned in to Sunny 99.1 and this song comes on this Holiday season then you should just pull over and park and get out the tissues.

Momma and Aiden




Really???

Okay so I have promised some people I would finally blog about this so here it is...

Have you ever had your shopping cart stolen while you were at a store? Has that ever happened to you? Well it has happened to me TWICE! The first time was at Target and I had a cart full of stuff...clothes, toys, etc. Now mind you, Richard tells me all the time that I need to stop walking away from my cart and just leaving it in the middle of the aisle. Did I listen? No. So I walk away from my cart and I come back and all of my stuff was in a nice, neat pile on the floor and my cart was gone!!! WHO DOES THAT???? The person literally took my stuff out of my cart, put it on the floor of target, took my cart and started shopping! I thought for sure Richard was playing a joke on me but no my friends, this really happened.

The second time was even worse...I was 8 months pregnant and shopping in Wal-Mart. I (didn't listen to Richard again) walked away from my cart and I turned around with a hand full of stuff and there were two girls taking my stuff out and putting it on a random shelf getting ready to take my cart! Well this time I had had enough and I was 8 months prego, fat feet, fat tummy, miserable and I walked right up to the girls and I said EXCUSE ME!!! And they turned around, faces turned bright red and I said "YOU JUST STOLE MY CART RIGHT IN FRONT OF MY FACE!" They were so embarassed and even more mortified to find that they took it from a pregnant lady. I sat and watched them put all of my stuff back in my cart for me and then I walked away.

Seriously though? People really do this? Are people that lazy that they can't walk to the front and get their own cart? Am I giving people too much credit? This blows my mind...ha! Has this ever happened to any of you???
