So after talking to my best friend and letting all the news linger, I decided I was going to return the Kindle. I'll have to pay around $7 to return it and cover shipping, but in the end I think its for the best.
My best friend was proud of me. I also called up Verizon to find out where I could return our extra cable box.
Anyhow, the girls were invited to birthday parties this weekend. DH is gone for the rest of the weekend cause his trip was extended, so I had nothing better to do.
I had a $25 gift card and I knew I had $10 in my wallet so I gave the girls a spending limit of $15/each for their friends.
They actually seem to do better at budgeting than me. I even give them $20 each for the MONTH (lunch is $2) and out of that they are responsible for deciding which days they are going to make lunch and which days to buy.
So anyhow, we're in the grocery aisle of Target after we ended up picking the gifts. I turned to the girls and said "Cards... what about cards?"
And they both say they are going to make theirs.
I turn to go down the aisle and a lady is slightly in my way. But I'm patient, and sort of burnt out and in a daze that I don't mind either.
Then she turns around and gives me $20
I was dumbfounded. At first I thought, "Did I drop this?"
I couldn't say anything, just sort of muttered "Why?" in a very confused way.
She smiled and said "Its for the kids, get them something nice."
And she walked away. And there I stood, still confused and unsure what to do.
That had never happened to me before.
I was so taken aback that I almost forgot my bags when I checked out
Received $20 from a random stranger
