I've been quite the busy bee.
The other day, I went took Kyan to the Rome mall again with my mom and Jack. My mom and I were both in search of pants, and the Rome mall has so many things to entertain children, we figured we could kill two birds with one stone. Jack spent quite a bit of time playing in the arcade and ended up accumulating over 230 tickets after hitting the "jackpot" on a game by pure chance. Arcades are fun for me because I seem to find great joy in nursing Kyan in a plastic race car seat.
Maurice's (a too-expensive-for-Mommy store) was having some sort of super insane mega sale, and I snagged an extremely cute pair of pants for $10. They are a size three and could stand to be a size smaller. How I managed to lose so much weight, I am still unsure of. I've been getting comments about looking emaciated. Elli told me, "Oh my gosh, you've lost so much weight, I mean you were skinny before, but now you're like a rail." She demonstrated by holding up her hands in the form of small circle. Then she pointed to my breasts, "They're smaller too."
I missed the nurse out at Wal Mart because it was Elli's birthday. For some reason I had been under the impression that her birthday was the next Saturday. Lori came over and we went out for food, then shopping at the outlet mall where even more incredible sales were going on, so I got away with a few shirts and a new outfit for Kyan. We then went to Atlanta for Elli's birthday party. We only stayed an hour or so because there were a few people there I was not too keen on being around, and the drinking was about to commense. Elli was very grateful that I took the time to come by, though, and she carried Kyan around the whole time we were there. Everyone loves a chubby baby boy.
Today I drove all the way out to Powder Springs to visit with my dad and granny. They were both so excited to see Kyan. My granny made a homecooked meal and I sat over there for hours just talking. As soon as I came home and walked in the door, John was wanting to go get food, so we packed up the kids and headed right back out. Kyan was very unhappy about being back in the car, as he was very sleepy and ready to get into bed. He managed to survive and is now snug as a bug in my bed.
I'm pooped.
kyan,
