How am I supposed to feed my baby?

So yesterday my little sister Jolene called me up and asked me if I wanted to go shopping for a shirt at Express because she had $15 free there and well lets face it I'm not back to pre pregnancy weight so I hate all of my clothes! Anyways I ended up going and getting a shirt but the $60 I went with I didn't spend. I couldn't bring myself to spend that much on something when I plan on loosing the weight and than it being to big! So we went home......I told branden that I really didn't get anything because I wasn't spendng that much....he pretty much told me to go make myself feel better and go get a new outfit somewhere else than! (what a good hubby I have). And this is where the real story starts.................








I decided I would go to Target, they have cute clothes, their cheap and I had to get Paisley her formula!



Paisley's formula!



So I head out to the Andover Target because it's right behind my house. I get there and walk over to the formula and what do you know the only formula they are out of is the one I needed! I had to get that formula, I couldn't just switch her to a new one that could mess her whole system up. So I called branden and told him that I was just going to come home, but he than measured how much we had left and told me unless I wanted to run to the store at like 6 am there was no way we would get by with what we had left! So he than said go over to the Coon Rapids target and just shop there (what a good hubby again, said he was totally fine watching pais)! So I got into my car and what do you know the gas light comes on....lame! So I went to the gas station and put $20 out of my $60 into my tank! I start talking to the guy at the counter and he say they have formula there so he walks me over there, and the don't carry formula! lol waste of time.



I than get to the CR target go straight to the baby formula and THEY ARE ALL OUT! I pull a worker over there just to make sure and she tells me the only nearby target that has my formula is Northtown and they only have one can! So at this point I just want to go home and eat because it's after 6 and I'm starving, but I decide to head over to Rainbow which is right next door, thinking they have to have this! I walk over to their baby formula, and THEY DON'T EVEN CARRY IT! so now I'm about to loose it!



I call branden and than my mom just venting! My mom says try Walmart so I was like okay I'm just going to end up driving in a huge cirlce of obstacles to get pasley's formula! I get to walmart, head over to the baby formula and guess what...............THEY ARE ALL OUT! so now I'm about to cry, I really want to call enfamel and all these stores that don't have it and ask them "how am I supposed to feed my baby?" So I call my mom again and she says try Cub (which is right next door) and if they don't have it she told me to call target in northtown and see if they have it and put it on hold and she would pick it up on her way home from dropping my sister off at the U! (what a great mom I have)



So I head over to Cub walk to their baby formula isle and THANK YOU JESUS THEY HAVE IT!!!!!!! I literall pick up the can and hug it in the middle of cub, people probably thought I was some crazy mom! So I called bran told him I was headed home, and told my mom not worry I found it! So after all of that stress, I decided I needed a treat and I bought a box of Kemp's cookie sandwiches! yep that's right I am one of those people who needs sweets to cure my stress! lol



I got home and Branden had dinner made for me (velveeta shells and cheese, friday's loaded potato skins and ceasar salad!) TALENT! lol again what a good hubby! And than topped off by my kemp's sandwiches!



I was gone for almost 2 hrs. and I left home with $60 to get a cute new outfit, spent it on gas, kemp's sandwiches and paisley's formula (which I had a target gift card for but couldn't use cause they were all out) and had $13 left over! So much for a cute new outfit, but than again I would do anything for my sweet little girl! The drama of having to buy formula, should have just stuck with breastfeeding! HA!



Hope you all are having a much better day today than I had yesterday!

Similar story! I went to get some cat food recently, but the store was in the process of burning down! Oops!
