Blog it, Baby

Kohl's is a super weird store. What is up with that place? I can't figure it out. Jeremy and I have this rule we try to live by, which is get the house speciality. For example, when we go out to eat, order what the place does best. If you are at a burger joint, get a burger. Do not try their fettuccine alfredo, you will be disappointed. We break this rule all the time, and we always remember why we had the rule in the first place. Get the speciality, it's what they do best. It will be good. So, Kohl's baffles me. What is their thing? First of all, the women's clothes are pretty weird there. Their shirts seem to be really drapey and they have weird designs on them. Am I the only one? Department stores in general really confuse me. I used to know exactly what to do with them. Head straight to the juniors department. Well, that's over, let's face it, right? So what is up with the women's section at these stores? They are divided into sections with weird names and take up several floors. What is the meaning behind all of these sections? Can't they just have a section for pants, skirts, shirts? I don't get it. I am kind of stuck in a Gap funk. I don't really know where else to go. Not a bad place to be stuck in, but I feel like I have been there for 20 years now.

What is up with celebrity Moms? I'm so tired of them trying to tell us what great moms they are. They always have to tell us, really tell us that they spend lots of time with their children. And they do it without "much" help. Oh, and we definitely send all the help home during the night, because we are not crazy! All of the great Moms I know have never had to tell me that they are great and then convince me that is true because they spend so much time with their kids. And I totally buy into it because I am pretty much running away from my children, literally hiding in the closet with chocolate in hand. Oh, and by the way my celebrity friends who I don't have but might be reading this blog. I'm sure you have never done this, but don't give your 18 month old a bowl of spaghettios to eat all by himself while you blab on the phone to your sister. He will smear them all over himself, and then dump the rest of the bowl on his head.

I just went to Kohl's today.
It has been a long time.
I took the kids, crazy I know.
But I'm a great mom who spends a lot of time with my kids.
They persuaded me to get a Kohl's charge card.
I fell for the 30% off discount.
I hate it when I'm weak and sales lady wins.

Should I laugh or apologize about the spaghetti-o's
incident.

Every day I sneak off into the garage or side yard and eat a fancy popsicle away from the kids.
Must be why I'm not loosing the baby weight.

I hate any store where I have to do work to get good deals. Kohl's is one of those stores for me and so I never go there. If they want me to remember that the second Tuesday of the month is half price day if you bring the coupon from the mail... forget it. They work for me, I don't work for them, you know?

I am at the point where I feel like those kinds of stores are dishonest. Just give me the best price you can while still making a profit (I'm okay with capitalism) and then leave me the eff alone. I don't work for you and I don't want to play your little games. Goodness gracious don't get me started on loyalty cards. I'm going to kill someone over those stupid cards one day.

As for Spaghetti-O's. You're on kid #4. Are you still buying those? They have been banned from my house since Josh was 2.

Well i actually love kohls! So I will defend them. But I only go there for two things. Their jewelry and the kid clothes. I don't even look at anything else. And their jewelry is always soooo cheap! Awesome!!
