I thought finding this toy wouldn't be that hard. I saw it on a K-Mart commerical and again in Target and Toys-R-Us' ad.... so I figured I could get it anywhere. WRONG!!!
The first place we went was Wal-Mart... they have everything. LOL! We couldn't find it and didn't even see a spot on the shelf for it. I thought it was kind of strange, but really didn't think anything of it. Next we went to K-Mart. Once again they didn't have it and we didn't even see a place on the shelf for it. I really wasn't surprised. The K-Mart here is kind of crappy. We went to a new store in the mall called Toys-R-Us express, but once again... they didn't have it either. The man working said he wasn't sure if they ever had it or if it was sold out. He was a damn idiot. Next we went to Target since we had seen it in their ad. They didn't have one either. We did see the spot for it and the Dancing Mickey on dispay. My cousin Bryan works there, so we asked him about it and said they were a hot toy this season and they couldn't keep them in stock. He scanned the tag for me to see if any stores around here had one. He said there was one at Target up in Southport, but he assumed it wasn't right and the computer just hadn't updated. Southport is about 40 minutes away and it was already almost 9pm so I knew there was no way I could make it up there that night. He said they were getting a truck in that night and there might be some on it. He told me I could call in the morning and ask.
The next morning I set my alarm and decided to be at Target at 8am when they opened. Still none. I asked a lady stocking toys and she said they hadn't gotten any in. I was getting REALLY frustrated. STUPID TOY!!! lol. I ran out to the other Wal-Mart in town, but they didn't have it either. I told my mom if worse came to worse I could always go out on Black Friday, which I didn't want to do... but I knew they would more then likely have some then.
Later that day I asked if Pete wanted to run up to Target in Southport and Toys-R-Us to see if we could find it. We decided to check Target first since Bryan had said the computer said there was one. We got there and I wasn't expecting to find it. THEY HAD ONE!!! I ran over and grabbed it off the shelf. There was another lady trying to find it and got kind of shitty when I grabbed it, but I wasn't letting go. I put it in the car and told Pete to guard it with his life. I WAS SO EXCITED!!! I called my mom and told her I FINALLY found the damn thing. All that for ONE toy. I know how much Aiden wanted it though... so all the searching was well worth it. I can't wait to see his face on Christmas morning.
Sorry I haven't been blogging as much. Pete and I have been working hard on our relationship and things have been going great. No major fights in over 3 weeks. I am happier then ever. It's about time things looked up for me. HAPPY READING!
