Clearance Queen

Yes, I am the Clearance Queen!!!

I left the boys to Be Men Together (have no idea what they did, but I'm sure it involved lots and lots of explosions) and went out with Mom today. It was nice - we grabbed lunch at Cosi and then hit the clearance racks at Kohl's.

Mmmmmmmm, Kohl's clearance....

I found an entire rack of panties for $2.99 each, which was a good thing, since I discovered this morning when I put away the laundry from earlier in the week that the dogs had eaten four more pairs of my underwear. They even chewed up a pair of granny panties. I'm not sure which of us comes off as being more desperate here - the dogs for chewing them, or me for wearing them - but I had to get some underwear, and soon! So I got 13 pairs, which should hold the dogs for a week or two.

I managed to find some workout clothes on sale (since I am actually keeping that resolution about working out - go me!), two shirts for $1.60 each, two pairs of skorts for $2.80 each, and a $70 dress for $6. I even found a nightshirt that is cute enough to wear for the husband and decent enough to wear around the son.

Best part of all was the additional 30% off on everything...and the fact that Mom paid for it all as my (late) Christmas present. Not exactly the Christmas present I would have chosen for myself, but beggars can't be choosers and we are pretty damn broke right now. Oh well. I've pretty much accepted that being a Mom/wife/responsible adult means that most of my presents have to be utilitarian, not fun. Sure, it blows, but whatchagonnado.

Now if I can only enough room in my drawers for all the loot :)
