A Monday venture to the Mall

Sometimes I dread when the boys are off for a holiday. Not that I don't LOVE to have them home...but it's a matter of trying to entertain them or I should say tire them out so that we can take a nap. I have been sick since last Thursday and finally felt somewhat better on Monday, so I figured we'd go to the mall. There were some various sales and I need to get Zachary some new jeans (he has worn holes in his other pairs). We went to Sears and purchased some new jeans for Zach with double reinforced knees, I purchased a pair of cross trainers a 1st step towards my goal of walking everyday, and then we went to Bath and Body Works for some soap. So I made my purchases and Isaac was getting tired of being in the store. We call Isaac the "gecko" as his hands are wicked fast at grabbing things. We have to be on it so he doesn't grab everything. Well, my reflexes weren't as quick as they normally tend to be and Isaac got ahold of a container with some plastic Qtip testers and FLUNG them onto the floor. I mean they went everywhere....

I profusely apologized to the clerk and she was still her over exaggerated cheery self. While trying to maneuver the stroller out of the small space, Zachary backed up into another table that had some candle holders on it, and of course, one of them fell off and broke. I apologized again and high tailed it out of there...

We then ate lunch and called it a day....

On a post note, We went to the FYE Music and Movie store. It made me all nostalgic going in there. I reminisced about when I was a teen and I would go with my friends to the Music store (I can't recall the name) in Oak Ridge Mall. I saw a stand with a bunch of Twilight the Movie Paraphernalia and they had the over sized buttons of the movie characters. It reminded me when I was a huge fan of New Kids on the Block and the music store in Oak Ridge had the oversized buttons of the New Kids. I also passed a Forever 21 and the mannequins were wearing fashions that I swear we wore in 6th, 7th, and 8th grade....we must be approaching the late 80's early 90's era again in fashion and apparel....
