Shopping really is the cure all. Well, shopping minus the crazy crowds….and only if you find what you’re looking for…and if it is on sale or free, even better!
This weekend I had a much needed break. Jeff stayed with the crazies all day so I could get some retail therapy. My sisters and I went to the mall Saturday and shopped till we dropped! Well, not really dropped….but you get it. I must say I am very happy with all of my purchases which included some Philosophy, a pair of jeans, Victorias Secret bra and panties, and a Starbucks to top it off!

*Disclaimer….the following story was a total accident. The thieving was NOT preplanned in any way and is not a regular occurrence of the Barr household.

My new trick when shopping with the babies is to put them both in the main part of the cart and cram everything else on the bottom of the cart or in with the babies. The only problem with this is when you forget to unload the bottom of the cart and end up walking out of the store with things you may not have paid for……like maybe this….

I get out to my car and start unloading my purchases to find this giant Dump Truck sitting under the cart. Ut oh! I look around hoping the security guard is not coming to get me. All clear!!! I throw the stolen goods in the car, back out of the parking spot, and burn rubber getting out of there!!!

Yes, I could have went back to pay for it…but what fun is that!!???! I just got a free dump truck. And the security dude I walked RIGHT PAST should have busted me out. Plus, I wasn’t about to unload the babies again to go give them my money for something I already got for free. Heehee.

Jeff, if I get caught shoplifting with the babies will you bail me out of jail? Or on second thought, maybe just leave me there a couple of days so I can sleep in and relax.
