Kindness of Strangers

Have you ever just been blessed by the kindness of a stranger?  I was the last time we went to Kohl’s.  They were running their Kohl’s cash promotion and I waited for mine… $10.00 but still less money I had to spend next time.  The lady in line behind us said if we waited for her to check out we could have hers.  I waited and it ended up being $20.00 worth.  That was very much appreciated.  I turned around and told her thank you multiple times but she didn’t hear me any of the times I don’t think.  The lady at the register kept looking at me funny because I kept saying thank you to this lady who didn’t respond, but what can I do but keep saying it?  Anyways… I noticed that it was going to expire soon when I looked at it this weekend so planned on going today during lunch.  Then, Saturday in the mail I got a gift card from Kohl’s $10 off anything in the store so I had $40 in Kohl’s cash and gift cards to buy something for myself.  I went today and got two shirts and a dress, all things I can wear to work and only spent $2.14 out of pocket!  I was super excited about that.

Come to think about it, the only time I ever really buy anything for myself is if my hubs is there making me do it!  But that’s the nature of being a mom… you put everyone else before you.  Your clothes could be thread bear but if your babies needed something they would get it first!  I love being a mom and would do anything for my babies and feel especially spoiled just by being able to buy a few things for myself.
