My pants are too tight
I bought new pants yesterday. Jeans really. My only other pair of fitting jeans has holes in the thighs, so they aren't usable as pants for me anymore. Soon I will break out ye 'ol sewing machine and get to using all this material I have. I have ideas forming to be creative, but I'm not sure if they will pan out.
But back to my jeans. they were a bit snug at the store, and I knew that. I am bloated so I figured I would deal while I'm bloated and that when I'm not they would fit nicely. But as it stands I am still bloated. Oh well, they were on sale for $12 and they are nicely embroidered. Great find really, and Rick says my butt looks great in them. So I guess everything will work out well. I bought a shirt for $5 there too. I love WalMart sales!
Rhiannon got on the bus, we had a great morning with her today. A few not so great moments but they were dealt with calmly and I have to say I was very happy with my little girl.
Yesterday my co-worker Elma gave me a bunch of hand me downs for Rhiannon. Some stickers (which I immediately informed her were mine now and I would just share some with Rhiannon...I LOVE STICKERS!!!!), a few clothing items which are mostly too big, a leap brand math turbo toy (super cool thing too) and a stack of young reader novels. They are about 80 pages each on average, larger print, and a few back and white pictures in it. generally about one a chapter. Along the same level of reading as the choose your own adventure books (which I will be uber excited when Rhiannon gets into those!). The first one I gave her, which I knew would be her favorite, was the Garfield one. 71 pages and she finished it yesterday before bed. Started it at 5:25pm and stopped for supper and a bit of whining, getting ready for bed. But before lights out at 7:40 she was completely done. Can you believe it? She's only SIX! Most kids her age are just barely able to read most Robert Munsch books! I'm so proud of her. (btw, pictures of her intently reading in the car are to be posted to FB shortly after this post is, well, posted.)
Well, I'm not sure what else to write about. There is one thing. I don't feel up to going into any great detail, only because it has been very hard for me these last few days. I think I have let all my stress bottle up inside of me and that it ended up really bad. But I am so very lucky to have such a wonderful man. Rick is amazing. He's been so supportive. He got me through some really tough times that I was terrified to face alone. He's the greatest. And I'm so proud to call him mine!
Ok, that's it for today. Maybe tomorrow I will have ore. Depends on when I bring Rick to work. If he's in at 9am I don't have much time to write when I get home and before I have to leave for work.
Ciao all!
