Oh yes, Mother of the Year award…here i come!! I am so excited, i’m about to cry. The ONE major present my son wanted this Christmas was an electric guitar. He’s never had lessons but wants to desperately.
Do you have any idea how much electric guitars cost?? Hundreds of dollars. Wayyy out of my budget!! Yup, no can do. There’s no way i can afford that.
I’m already finished with my shopping for him, as most of you know already. He’s gotten plenty of stuff. And sure he probably gets more than the average kid, but i make it a point to not buy any toys all year long. He doesn’t ask, and i don’t buy. So, his birthday and Christmas is it.
On to my point, i was just poking around online on Target and was going through their weekly ad…when…..what…..OH.MY.GOD.
A guitar. On sale. $88!!!! Online only!
Let me tell you a little about this guitar. It comes with: an amp, extra strings, picks, shoulder strap, learn-to-play dvd, a guitar stand, and of course a black electric guitar. The entire package was 41% off….so only $88!!! You can bet your ass i bought it!! I could return every other present i got him and just give him this and he would be ecstatic! Thats how bad he wants a guitar. He kept saying that Santa could get it for him b/c he knows i can’t afford a guitar for hundreds of dollars. I’ve been trying to prepare him for the disappointment of not getting one on Christmas.
But now, Momma saved Christmas!!! I can’t wait to see his face when he opens it!! I might even cry, considering i almost cried when i was ordering because i was so thrilled.
So from now until New Years, i’ll be accepting any and all nominations for the Mother of the Year Award. Thank you!!

Hi! Welcome to my blog!
Wee hoo you do rock!!!!!!!! Go Momma!
Another good place to shop for guitars and guitar accessories is Daddy’s Junky Music, there’s one in downtown Boston on Mass Ave. and there’s one in Danvers I think. Also Guitar Center has some good deals this time of year. Make sure you buy him extra strings (see if you can get the Slinky’s they are pretty good and cheap at $6 a pack) strings break pretty easily. At Guitar Center they have business cards of local people who come to your house to give guitar lessons!
You are a TRUE Guitar Hero, Girl! ROCK ON!
I’m glad you’re so excited! I’m sure Hunter will love the guitar. I’m hoping to find a Thomas train table for, like $20, but I might as well stop living in a dreamland and just buy it now.
Stumbled upon your blog…somehow, today. I like it!
