This morning I took the kids for a quick commissary run to get some staple food items before Chad's mom comes into town tomorrow. I quickly got the groceries, and on the way out, decided to go over to the NEX (Navy Exchange) to take a look at the newest Coach Bags. I really like their bags, and if they weren't so costly I'd have one for every season plus vacation handbags!
After drooling over my favorite ones, I decided it was time for us to get home. Out at the car, I popped the trunk and dug into the shopping cart for the first bag and much to my surprise found a Coach Wallet (the Soho line to be exact) with a price tag of $248!!!
I think my heart stopped for a moment. I high-tailed it back into the store, pausing briefly to ask Savannah not to say anything while we were in there. I don't need anymore attention coming my way! Lucky for me, nobody was in the Coach section, and I was able to discreetly toss it back on the shelf (not so discreet if you look at the security cameras--you'd think I was actually stealing one, not putting it back). Phew! I got out of there as quick as I could.
Can you imagine me getting apprehended with 2 kids and trying to explain it was my son not me?! I can't believe I almost got home with it! I was wondering how many people would have actually stashed it in their car and taken a "freebie". It would have been so easy. But, every time I pulled out that wallet, I'd remember. So, instead, I have a picture to remind me of what could have been.........And, it was a good life lesson for the kids.
I can see already this is not going to be a dull week after all!
