I purchased a total of six cards this year. One for my mommy, one for my Grandma Gerri, one for my Grandma Betty, one for my Aunt Claire, one for my Aunt Debbie and one for my Aunt Nesi!!! Whew child, I'm glad I'm done. I spent so much time in the store trying to make sure each card expressed how much I value them and the impact that they've had on me.
Also, I did something a little different this year... I didn't buy any of my friends Mother's Day cards. Usually, I'll pick a friend who I know won't get a card from anyone and get their kids to sign it. I just wasn't feeling it this year... Maybe next year. I just don't have any friends (true friends) who have kids but no man around. I guess that's good. :)
Anywho, I'm so proud of me! I've been pushing myself like The Little Engine a That Could. Everyday I find myself thinking "I think I can, I think I can, I think I can..." and I've been doing it honey! I've been functioning from sunrise to sunset for FIVE DAYS NOW! Praise God!
It all started on Thursday, May 1st 2014. I woke up that morning and seized the day. I didn't get in bed until 10:00pm. Ok, so I forget what I did that day but trust, it was amazing! I blogged about Friday. Saturday was another amazing day. I went with my mommy and sister to a Mother/Daughter Luncheon! I'll have a separate blog about that one! That brings me to Sunday!
I woke up Sunday morning around 9:00. Honestly, I could have made it to church but I was in a mood. That's no excuse but I really wanted to get to the mall since I didn't get to go on Saturday. I NEED CLOTHES. I seriously do. I dragged my sister out of the bed and I was at the mall by 11:30am.
Although I didn't find any shirts, I found some cute Bermuda shorts and a cheap Coach bag.
Let me tell y'all, God worked it out for me with this Coach bag. The bag was originally $298 and reduced 50% but Macys was having their Friends & Family sale which meant I would get an extra 25% off. But, I still couldn't afford it because all of my little chips need to go to clothes.
I ran, well I walked fast, and found Stephie to tell her about the sale of the bags. She purchased the only black one. Le sigh. Then, I called my mom and told her that they have some cute Coach bags for $119 but they only had one brown left. She told me to swipe her card and get her one.
Well, I felt good. I made sure my mommy and sister got a bag for a great deal. But inside, I wanted one.
I got home and told my Grandma about the purse and she asked me where mine was. I tried to brush her off and tell her I would get one next season but she wasn't having it! She told me to go back and get that bag because she was going to buy it for me.
So, I had to find another location because Cumberland didn't have anymore. After calling around, I found two black purses with gold handiwork but they told me that Cumberland misprinted their tickets for 50%. The bags were supposed to be 25% off and then 25% off of that but the lady at Southlake honored the price and I got both (lol my mom wanted the black one as well).
Then... My mother offered to pay for half of my bag. I love it! Y'all just don't know, I love sales and discounts. I can smell them from a mile away.
