As I am trying to be the firm one and dealing with all this "get they rears out of my house" junk, even complaining about the whole idiocy of having a baby at this point in time...Tony decides to nudge me in the side Thursday night while we were sitting on the couch watching the Idol results show.
He whispers to me..."You need to take Mandy shopping!"
This was done while Mandy was in the kitchen fixing herself something to eat. I look at him with this astonished, questioning look in my eyes. He points to his belly and makes a round bump mouthing the words...pregnancy clothes.
I mouth back...HUH?
He mouths back...go get her pregnancy clothes.
So she walks in and sits down with us to watch Idol for a bit and I say.."Mandy, we have Keyana this weekend, how bout you, me and Keyana head out about noon on Saturday and get you a couple of maternity outfits? I bet Keyana would love to do that."
She kinda mumbled something saying she had to work at 5 but that sounded okay. Personally if someone was offering to buy me clothes I would have been a bit more enthusiastic but I will take it.
So about 11 am Saturday morning I sent Keyana in to make sure Mandy was actually awake because that girl can sleep forever and it also takes her forever to even get ready to go anywhere. I mean forever. And it wasnt like she got home late on Friday night because I was up. She got home at like 10.
So Keyana comes back and tells me Mandy is still asleep. So I walk back about 15 minutes later and ask her if she still wants to go? She tells me that she found out she has to work at 3;30 or 4 or something. Well? Its only 11:15! I could buy out the entire downtown Lumberton in a couple of hours...lol. I mean really. How long is it going to take to get a couple of items?
So I say...well how bout if Keyana and I go and get some stuff and I will be back in an hour of so and show it to you? Ok...I will probably still be in bed.
I got back in an hour and a half and she was gone! She came back one time to dump a chair and a love seat on my front lawn and then never came home again.
I mean really. I hope she likes the stuff because I got almost all of it on sale at Kmart and you cant return sale items! I was damned if I was just going to hand her money to go buy stuff and I wasnt going to get stuff that could be returned either. I got 3 pairs of pants and some assorted shirts that dont look like old lady maternity shirts. I know she wouldnt want that and I understand that. This stuff will just have to do.
Of course, she tried to tell Cory and Tony that I misunderstood me and that she wanted to go with me but she thought I wanted to leave right then and she didnt want to make me wait for her to get up and get ready. Hogwash. I had told her on Thursday what time we would go. Its not easy for me to keep Keyana waiting around when she knows we are supposed to be going somewhere but Keyana would have been perfectly happy to be in there with her helping her get ready.
