THE HELL?

So some of you may read my facebook statuses and know what is going on but i need this release.

Z and i spent yesterday morning at the Budget Shop volunteering. We sorted winter clothes from summer clothes and folded them and put them out accordingly.  In one of the wallets i was looking at i found 45 dollars!  I put it in my pocket, and thanked the Lord for how awesome He is.
Z started getting sleepy so i (having been there an hour and a half) left.  Checked mail nothing interesting there, then went off to GArden City to do some shopping for us.  We ate lunch at Subway, we both love subway. I knew it was going to be a good day when i heard Billy Ray on the Radio in Subway.

THen we went to Salvation ARmy where we got a few new shirts for z and one for our friend, Caleb who will be 1 soon!!!

After that we went to goodwill.  We had SO much fun there!
We loved the batman outfit we found!!  and loved the hanger even more.  I tried to get z to play with a different toy but he kept going back to the hanger.
As i went to check out, I decided to not get some of the outfits that we had so i put them aside.  I gave the guy the money and he was taking things off the hangers and i asked, "I dont suppose there is a chance i could keep that on the hanger?"  He responds "No because its on loan from our corporate office in Wichita." I said "Oh," then proceeded to take the hanger from Zypher and i explained to him that he cant keep it because it wasnt his.  Which to an 8.5 month old doesnt really mean anything.  He started screaming and fussing i even tried giving him other toys to play with that normally work when he is fussy.  I look at the associate again and ask for the hanger. to which he responds by calling his manager. WHen she arrived Zypher was still crying despite my attempts to soothe him.  When she asked what the problem was, the kid and i say kid because he looked like he was 10 years old., said i was being disruptive.  I looked at her and said, "I just wanted to know if there was a way that i could keep the hanger. My son loves them right now and i think it would be a good way to keep the bat shirt and cape from getting wrinkled" She said the same thing the kid did, " Its not ours to keep. they are on loan from the corporate office.  im going to have to ask you to leave and not come back because you are disrupting the store."  and she turned on heel and left.  So i took my screaming hangerless child out of goodwill and decided im not going back to that store.

He was still crying when i got to the dollar store, to which the ladies there who havent seen him in about three months, were coddling him and holding him and said he could have any hanger he wanted even took us to a huge pile of discards that are left at the counter when people leave.
Thats all he needed. he was happy as could be.  He was laughing and clapping and even talking once he got a hanger.

Is it so hard to just let us have what we want?

I did email the corporate office and let them know i was unsatisfied with how things were handled.  Im waiting to hear back from them on that.  Maybe i was in the wrong for asking to keep a hanger, who knows?  either way, im not happy with the way things turned out. and it was such a good morning too!
