Woo! A rant, YAY!

Today I realized how much I don't like shopping with my mother. Every kid learns this at an early age, I did...example!

She goes shopping to try on clothes and you are supposed to behave in the stores and if she stays too long you start to get bored, impatient, and whiny saying that you want to leave now and go home

Aside from that I've gotten to the point that I would like to go more places than staying home all day and the only way I can do this is if I go with my mother when she goes to run her errands. I love going to the grocery store.

Grocery Stores: A place where you buy food for home ... and where Kimmie can sneak her food in the basket without mom looking then after all checked out, mom can't do anything about it. twisted

Well, it was cool for a bit, we left at 2:30pm and went to the bookstore where I bought a manga whee . Afterwards we head to a fabric store so she could look at ribbons. She is the type where if she can't find what she wants...she'll look through the whole batch of ribbons like....several more times, of course I think "there is not going to be anything different if you keep looking in the same spot for 30 minutes!" Of course, I preoccupied myself by looking at the many fabrics and stuff cause I'm becoming interested in crafts, that was okay.

Then we went to craft store cause she didn't find anything she liked at the other store, she bought two ribbons. I was happy! We could go home! =D

But before I knew it we were headed to ANOTHER fabric store. I'm starting to get impatient. She couldn't find anything she liked there. While I was looking through the fabrics, she seemed to make a new "friend" there who gave her directions to a fabric store that was 10 minutes away. We had NOE idea where it was, so therefore it took us like 20 minutes to find it.

I'm starting to get hungry, I hadn't eaten anything since lunch, it was 6pm. I'm getting irritated and annoyed, I wanna go home. She finds something...joy....as we head to check out, she says "I don't know...let's go look one more time to make sure."

I'm biting my tongue from saying anything and the fact that I earlier asked if we could stop at a best buy or gamestop didn't help either. I wanted a new DS game since I only had one. She goes on saying how I don't need another game yet, that I haven't figured out how to play my first game yet. I'm thinking "WTF!? You got your grandaughter a DS game for that DS her parents were getting her, knowing full well she was going to get more games from her parents and grandparents! Also what happened to getting many games at once for one console at Christmas?" So her comment made my night worse.

We leave the store and we're finally headed home, I stick both earphones in my ears to prohibit me from hearing anything at all, cause I swore next thing she said I was going to burst. I only answered with a mm-hmm whenever I was asked a question.

Finally we made it home at 6:30pm, we had been out around for 4 hours yet it felt like 12 hours and that is my rant for today. I'm never going to go fabric shopping with my mom again if it includes going to more than 3 fabric/craft stores. So this means now: Since I want to get out I am now going to start applying for a job.

Woo, it felt good letting that out. =)
