Default I am back from the mall...I nearly died!

And that's not an exaggeration. Seriously, it started out ok, I got up at 4:30, got dressed, picked up my sister and headed to Old Navy - got what I needed. Then to Sears - got what I needed there. Then I went to Target. That's when it all went wrong.

So I get in, and I am walking down the center aisle. It's not that bad, I am thinking (except for the silly girl yelling at people)...but then they opened the other doors. Apparently there was some great TV on sale, and people started running and pushing. I was able to get around all that, and went to DVDs. Well DVDs was just as much a hot mess. There was pushing, yelling, etc. I have never seen more people trying to buy the Gremlins movie.

The good part is, I really love all this. Now I am ready for the holidays....and bed.

thank goodness the kids didn't sleep last night because I was going, and that's exactly what I was going for...not Gremlins but the other $4 and $6 DVD's. Tab was gonna stay here with the kids but after being up all night I couldn't drag my arse outta bed!

Glad you made it home safe

Lena...you def. ended up lucky because those dvds were insane. I couldn't even believe it. You had to fight your way to the racks, and then had to fight other people to get some. On a light holiday note, I had many people who were next to them and willingly handed me the ones I wanted. It was very nice. Still..I could have died.

Glad you made it out alive Aaron LOL.... there's no way in heck I'd be caught in any store on Black Friday. I'd rather sit here and shop in my jammies with a cup of coffee in hand!

I had to work overnight so I couldn't make the sales. I convinced hubby to go to walmart to get one thing that they had in the ad. Well actually he pulled up to the store just after 3 because he got woken up somehow and decided to head out. Well even just after three there were so many people he said that he would not even be able to get into the store and he said forget it. Oh well.

LOL Every time I hear stories like this I picture that scene from that Christmas movie, the name escapes me, the one with Arnold and Tom, the guy who use to be married to Roseanne. They both want the same toy and there is a scene when a store opens it doors..anyways...LOL

ROLF.. Pushing, shoving, and yelling over a Gremlin's movie?

You're brave for going to Target. They showed our Target on the news a bit ago and it was mass chaos. No thanks!

alright I'll be honest I didn't even try to go out today. I did do some black Friday sale shopping online.... but that's it.... from the comfort of my own home! No screaming people or the craziness. I loved it

More power to ya'. Black Friday brings out the old anxiety and panic attacks so I stayed home.
Two years ago I tried lining up for some toy at wal-mart for Kassi. Got there at 4am and the line was already backed up to the end of the parking lot. Haven't done it since and don't plan to. I don't have the you know whats to put up with the crowds!
