Shoes, glorious shoes, marvelous shoes - Yes, I adore shoes - have 50
pair all totaled. I wear four pair. Just like lining them up on their lovely rack. Working at home means all my high heels are retired for now.
Payless sucks unless you're buying one-time shoes to go with that awful bridesmaid gown in chartreuse your cousin, whom you hate, is forcing you to wear so she'll look better than you at her wedding, despite the humongous hairy mole on her face.
DSW is great. Esp. during buy one, get half off another pair.

A mother's work is never done.... and shoes should be disposable like plastic bags.

You make a good point, since it was our own fault that our parents had to be stressed out, maybe they are enjoying some pay back now :)

My mind is attemping to recover from trying to convert Celsius to degrees Fahrenheit and look up what the heck cricket is, but I am done giggling from the name thong. hehe, I have heard them called that, though here they are flip-flops. My son's feet and shoes have developed an odor all their own, it is revolting. He refuses to wear socks, so you can imagine how quickly the smell worsens!!

Is - Did you ever stop to think that just maybe those grandparents got
all those gray hairs and worry wrinkles before they ever became grandparents and that just maybe they deserve a little "easy"?

We always lose a shoe...
lose a shoe on a walk with the stroller, lose a shoe in the grocery cart, lose a shoe in the back seat. And of course ever since the ugly of the shoes on the wrong feet - my husband isn't allowed to touch Rachel's shoes - only Mommy will do.... *sigh*

Don't you hate that?! When you have just done the child's shoes up to get in the car to go for a 5 minute drive down the road....when you arrive and go to get everyone out of the car, said child pipes up with "But Mummy, I can't put my shoes on!"...Why oh why do they insist on taking their shoes off as soon as they get in the car? And the SMELL of those kids who take off their shoes when they have been
- at school all day in 36 degree celsius heat
- playing a game of rugby
- playing a game of soccer
- playing a game of cricket
I applaud the person who thought to make thongs fashionable again this summer....YAY...GO THE THONG! ( I always thought thongs were for complete dags....but not so!! They are the epitome of the well dressed young boy/girl/man/woman....not sure what they are called elsewhere in the world....flip-flops maybe?)

I swear this is true, I met a guy that worked for Baker Shoes, Inc., and
his fiance worked at a comedy club, and a large of us went out after the last show. He was admiring my shoes, and then the high arch of my foot. He asked if he could see my shoe, and that is how I found out he worked for the sexy shoe company. Then, he asked, "Have you ever met anyone with a foot fetish before?"
Then, he asked if we could get together and I would let him suck on my toes within the next month, before his wedding took place! I guess toe sucking is the same as intercourse to a person with a foot fetish.
Whammie

I don't let anyone touch her feet. I fend them off with a stick. And she usually goes to DSW, so there's really no shoe salesmen around. It's basically do-it-yourself shoe shopping.
