The Shopping Never Ends

Well it is 4am, I am awake with a migraine, just waiting for the medication to kick in. Probably been eating too much crap...

We went into the city today, BIG mistake, it was a madhouse everywhere we went. We went to a really neat store called 'Restoration Hardware" in the Southgate mall. My mom was really excited to check this place out. We could hardly find a parking spot in the parking lot, we lucked out though and found one fairly close. Mom and I went into Restoration Hardware, it had some cool furniture and ideas but I was unimpressed, mom liked it though. I had the catelogue for the baby section but they didn't have any baby things in this particular store. Anyways the rest of the mall was a madhouse so we got back in the car and headed to the South Edmonton Common.

First stop, Sketchers, Kelly had been talking about these shoes from Sketchers since November, we finally get there and he decided that he really didn't like them that much. No big deal, in the meantime I found a fabulous pair of boots with GREAT soles and grips on the bottom. My stupid ugg boots have turned into a hazzard for both me and the kids. I keep falling in them. I didn't get the boots but I am now on the look out for a good pair of winter boots.

On our way back to the car we ran into the Adidas store. Everything was 40% off so we both found a couple of workout shirts. I found a lovely warm jacket, but it was white the we thought it would get far too dirty far too quickly.

Last stop, my least favorite store in the entire world. MARKS WORK WAREHOUSE. We went to the store in Spruce Grove yesterday, I was giving the store a second chance (I have had numerous bad expereinces there and to be honest I just can't stand the place). SO yesterday they got their second chance with me. I had been online and found a nice pair of boots there. So I found one on the floor, I went and found an employee to see if she could find me A) the matching boot and B) if they had anymore colours or sizes. She just looked at me and said "Whatever is left is all we have". Thanks for the help, I looked at her and said "Well I found this boot on the floor, there is only one, could you please show me where the other boot is so I can see what is left". I found this one boot on the floor, not by any of the other shoes, so really I just wanted her to point me in the right direction. She just looked at me again and said "Whatever is left is left" in an incredibly rude voice. Which is strange because usually when I go in Marks I can't get the sales associates to leave me alone. Anyways So I went searching on my own for the boot, which I never ended up finding... and I grumbled around loudly about her terrbile customer serice and swore I would never go back into the dang store again.
Fast forward one day and I find myself in the biggest Marks Work Warehouse in Canada... awesome. Wyatt was crying, Ethan was at the very end of his leash. They didn't have my boots and it seemed like Kelly was taking FOREVER to pick out his purchases, eventually I just went and sat in the car with the kids and fed Wyatt, anyways I was extremely grumpy and ready to go home.

I calmed down a litte on the ride home. Mom ran into Tim Hortons and bought me and Ethan a Timbit and me a tea. We finished the leftovers (finally) for dinner and watch "Bridgit Jone's Diary". I spent a little bit of time searching for a new vehicle and downloading some workout songs, then it was off to bed. Wyatt is a night owl and it takes me awhile to get him to sleep, but we finally got him down at 12:15. Once he is down, it seems he stays asleep for awhile now, which is great, but it is definately a struggle to get him down.

Our plan for today is to be at the West Edmonton Mall for 10am, We have some returns, we are expecting it to be busy so we are hoping to get in and out of there quickly. We are leaving Ethan at home with Grandad. My parents leave on Wednesday morning so I am taking advantage of having them here for one more day. I think I might need a nap in the afternoon :)
