Walking Shoes

I am so flipping tired. I slept pretty good last night, even with getting up around 5am because of a Charley Horse in my leg. I absolutely hate when that happens, but I kind of knew it was coming because we did a LOT of walking yesterday. We also did a lot of walking today, too, so I am pretty sure it will happen again in the morning. I need to invest in some good walking shoes, or maybe some 5.11 Tactical boots. Okay, so maybe the boots are not a good idea for long walks on pavement, but I need to do something. The past two days I have worn my fake crocs, and they are not the best for walking. I have blisters on more than a couple of toes.

I think I need to finally find out how it feels to have a professional pedicure.

Birthday Money

Kasi racked up quite a bit of money at her party on Saturday. She walked away with $80 in cash, not counting the gift cards she got. She already spent her Walmart one on a jacket and a pair of sneakers, and she wants to spend some of the rest of her money on more Shoes. The sneakers she just bought are cute enough, but they were cheap, which means they will fall apart pretty quickly. I would like for her to invest in a good pair of sneakers so they will last. I know my sister loves Stride Rite Shoes, but I don't think they carry shoes in her size. Her feet are as big as mine these days. She is wearing a size 6 in women's shoes.

Kasi was looking at Converse Shoes online and found this really cute pink pair. They are not my style, that's for sure, but when you are twelve, I guess you can pull them off. Now, if they were purple, I might consider getting myself a pair.

I won't mind if Kasi ends up buying these shoes, because I know they will last a while. I would rather her spend more on a pair of shoes I know she will get some wear out of, instead of constantly spending money on cheap shoes that fall apart in a few weeks.

New Shoes For Everyone

I hate shopping. I don't know why, but the thought of having to go to the mall and fight through the crowds makes me queasy. I haven't always been like this, and I'm not sure what happened that made me this way. I would much rather stay home, and shop online. There are no lines, no hassles, and no rude people to deal with.

I have a problem right now, though, because I need new Shoes to wear to church. It has taken me years to convince Junior to go to church, and I don't want the need for new shoes to stop us from going. Junior needs new Mens Shoes , too, and luckily I found somewhere to get shoes for both of us. I can get free shipping on most items, and they give a 75 day money back guarantee. That means if I get them delivered and they don't fit, I can send them back.

I was also looking at their Skechers Shoes for Kasi. She has reached that age where it is important to look good, and that includes what she has on her feet. I am just hoping that she doesn't start asking for designer jeans. I hate to tell her no, but there's no way I can afford to buy her a $100 pair of jeans. I think that is ridiculous.

Brandi Needs New Shoes

This morning was just like any morning. I got the kids up for school, and picked out Brandi's clothes. It is supposed to be kind of nice out today, so I had jeans and a short sleeved shirt for her to put on.

After getting fully dressed, she decided that she wanted to wear a dress. She is definitely my girlie girl. She loves to wear dresses and have her hair put up. But, this morning, I told her since she was already dressed, that she could wear a dress tomorrow. That statement brought on the tears. Finally, after five minutes of arguing, I gave in and picked her out a skort and a shirt to match. Once she was dressed, again, I asked her why it was so important that she wear a dress today?

I about fell over laughing when I heard her answer. On Thursdays, her class goes to the library. During this time, they have to sit and read quietly. If you wear a dress, you get to sit on the couch instead of the floor. So all the girls in her class wear dresses on Thursdays. I thin this is hysterical!

My biggest problem with her wearing dresses now is that she doesn't have any Spring shoes. She got quite a few Summery dresses for Christmas, but they just don't match her black sparkly flats. I was browsing the Stride Rite website and found these cute little sandals. They are Stride Rite Girls White Tulip Sandals. Aren't they cute! They would be perfect for her to wear with her Spring and Summer clothes. What's even better is that they are on sale right now, too. I just love saving money!
