When shopping becomes a chore

I love to shop.  I can shop with the best of them.  I can take down some serious sales without batting an eye.  However, today, I met my match.  Two hours and only two stores, I realized that I don't have it in me anymore.  I took Mini Witch to the mall tonight to buy a dress for her dance on Thursday.  I knew that it would take a bit to find "just the right" dress, but I didn't know that it would take as long as it did.  Of course, I am that parent that believes that you have to try all of it on because I'm not taking it back once you have it.  If it doesn't fit, that's your problem, not mine.  Some how, she managed to not only get a really cute dress out of me, but also tops, pants, skirts, socks (yes, even now, those are considered "attire" instead of just socks) and a lengthy trip to Victoria's Secret.  Needless to say, I was exhausted and wanted to know where the heck $400 went.  Of course, I was mom of the year, the greatest, most awesome-ist mom in the world! (for now, at least).  One thing's for sure... at least she got the dress she needed for Thursday....and I gained an ulcer and a lighter wallet.
