What's a girl gotta do to find a pair of gloves?

Okay, I'm officially putting Kohl's on notice. I'm not ready to ban them for life, but they're pretty annoying. Here's the thing: their prices aren't good. They just aren't. They almost always have sales on everything, but if you price shop, a good number of their "sale" prices are comparable (or still worse) than you'd pay elsewhere. But whatever, as long as you pay attention, there are some good deals to be found.

Until I wanted to go buy a pair of lightweight gloves for the boys today. We have big bulky gloves, but the problem with those is that they're so big and bulky, the boys won't keep them on. I accosted a mom in the parking lot at school today about her son's gloves, and found out she got them at Kohl's. So off I went with the boys.

We get to Kohl's and of course I can't find the kids' gloves section, because their kids' section is an overfilled disaster area. No one is around working, so I went to customer service (right by the kids' section anyway). They get someone to help me, who helps me by wandering around, saying "Wow, I'm sure we must have kids' gloves. I wonder where they are."

Then he gets someone else, who leads me over to their kids' gloves 2 square inch area. And they only sell glove/hat combos. For $15 a piece, and it isn't even good quality, but on the plus side, their "sale" is buy one, get one half off: useful for parents of twins at least! On the minus side, they have one set in the boys' size, and it's a hat with a single glove. Yep, no second glove. The woman says she needs to restock and will be right back with some from the back. Another mom shows up then too to wait.

And wait.

And wait.

About five minutes go by, and B-man announces he has to go to the bathroom. So we go. He takes FOREVER, over ten minutes. We go back to the imaginary glove area, that has still not been restocked. No workers in site, line at customer service is approximately one mile long.

So we left, without any gloves. I would have left without buying anything...I was that annoyed, but N-man, who is NOT potty trained, saw a set of Wonder Pets undies. He asked for them. Oh yeah, baby!

I didn't get gloves, but I do have little N-man in undies. Which is huge, since he would cry every time we tried to get him to wear underware before.

But I'm still pretty unhappy with Kohl's. Unless N-man potty trains, in which case I'll forgive them.

Current NaNo Attitude: Looking forward to a write-in tonight. I crossed the 100 page mark in Word, which was kind of exciting. I should finish my 50k words this weekend, which will take a lot of pressure off (I have a ridiculous amount of other stuff to do, including minor things like, oh, paying bills), but my novel still has a ways to go (I'm guessing 75k words final).
