Nobody walks into Target and only buys one or two things. I KNOW THIS. But dang it, I tried. I tried really hard.

My mission was to stop by and get my 3-year-old some My Little Pony underwear and some ice cream.

Instead, I ended up "needing" to get her a swimsuit for swim lessons, some washable paint for her easel, oh, and then she needed some ballet slippers because her old ones were too small. And then I forgot I had to create a posterboard project for a presentation at YVCC next week, so I grabbed the board and three packs of adhesive letters. And then once we finally got to the ice cream aisle, I grabbed some ice cream for Willow. Then I saw some Magnum chocolate bars ON SALE, so I needed to get some for myself. Oops, I forgot to get the underwear, so we had to go back to the girls' section for that. (That's eight items so far.)

I can't even remember the other two things I bought.

It didn't matter because the total came to about $94. The sales associate was about to get on the intercom and yell "Someone's having a coronary on Lane 5!" but I gathered myself together and forced my fingers to slide my credit card through the card machine. I was too embarrassed to put anything back, especially since I really NEEDED all that stuff...

I need a shoppers intervention. Stat.
