THRIFY MOM
My mother always used to be extremely good at finding discounts and sales. If there were a gold medal for it in the Olympics, she’d have gotten a bright, shiny new one every year. I need a cheap closet organizer since everything’s been spilling out of my overpacked closet for the past month, but my mother has been gone for 3 years now, may she rest in peace. Where does that leave me you might wonder? Well, it leaves me searching through all the local malls and even driving out to outlet stores looking for the best cheap closet organizer I can find. My mother always told me to look through the newspapers and get all the coupons I can, but there’s never any coupons for something like a cheap closet organizer. Somehow, some way, my mother would have found one, I’m absolutely certain. But I’m not her and I should have spent more time listening and paying attention to her. Then I might not be so lost in finding this thing. But that’s how things are. You never really know what you have until it’s gone. Not that I didn’t love and appreciate my mother when she was around. I did. I just wish I had learned more from her.
