A Little Depressed

I went to Macy's today to use my new stroller and to get out of the house for a few hours. I strolled through all three floors because I had a fifty dollar gift card to use. I looked and looked for something  to wear to church or even just a tee shirt, but the more I looked the more depressed I got. I tried on several different things, but nothing looked good on me or fit right. Sigh.... Go figure. So I started shopping for Stephen and Zander instead. I love shopping for other people and it's a lot easier. I guess I'll have workout a little longer before I can do some real shopping for myself.

I was only gone for two hours, but Zander didn't get in a good nap, so he started fussing before I got to the check out. When I finally did, he was on full crying mode, so one of the sales associates came to my rescue and took the stroller from me and walked Zander around the store a few times while I finished paying for my clothes. She brought him back around again and I thanked her several times for calming him down for me, and she said, "That's what grandmas are for." I don't think she really realized what she did for me; I'm sure it was just a small, simple gesture to her, but to me it was much bigger. I was frustrated, embarrassed, and ready to run out the door. So thank you sales lady for helping me; it meant a lot.
