shop

[]

mom and i did some shopping today. at the first store, i tried on a dress and while i liked the colour on me (purple) and the top of it (it actually didn’t show cleavage!!! i HATE that EVERYTHING has to show cleavage these days), but i wasn’t in love with the fit, though not bad, and i didn’t like that i would have to put a slip under it. i don’t want to fuss with slips in summer. i actually finally did find a slip for under my orange dress and i’m planning to get a scarf to cover more cleavage. i don’t know why i didn’t think of a scarf before today! it came to me when i was browsing in the store and saw some near the change rooms. i did get a onesie for a friend’s new baby (i plan to get more but that’s all i found for now) that has a picture of hands holding a sign saying "will cry for food." i love the "Wild Child" line of clothing; too cute.

at the next store, wal-mart, mom bought beau a cuuute winnie-the-pooh soft soft jacket for cool weather/fall. i don’t really like winnie-the-pooh stuff usually but we’ve been finding a few cute pieces lately that i like. last week, she bought sawyer a Spiderman fall jacket which i’m saving for school. i picked up some things for a bridal shower present; not much, just some bowls, a little serving bowl, and some flatware for outdoor use. i added a box of crystal lite drink packets with it. dennis didn’t want me to spend anything on this present (we just don’t have extra money right now) so i couldn’t really get much. i did what i could.

i bought some other essentials like hair straightening cream and….well, maybe that was the only essential. LOL. dennis got everything else we needed at the grocery store. i asked him to buy me flowers for the dining room table though and he didn’t  i’m kinda disappointed. i want it to look pretty for beau’s baptism. we’re not giving the poor kid a gift so we could at least give him flowers! we are buying his cake and the food etc but still…i want it to look nice, though i do hope everyone stays outside.

my mom and sawyer cleaned the play room last night while mom was babysitting. thank goodness for that. that’s one less thing dennis and i need to do for sunday. weight training class was pretty good, though frustrating b/c it seems like the ONLY thing my body understands is yoga. i have to get help constantly in any other class. argh. the trainer is super super nice, thankfully, but i still felt frustrated. why am i so retarded when it comes to stuff like that? why can’t i just understand what i’m supposed to do? argh. just argh. we’ll keep going back but i’m worried that i’m NOT going to be able to ever pick it up. i really just want to be able to do something to get in shape/add to the walking i do. i need to step it up and get off my lazy butt and ride our exercise bike at home. i started doing it and then forgot at some point. i do get pretty exhausted. beau is SUCH a hard baby to take care of. even my mom finds him to be difficult. he exhausts me.

anyway, dennis actually surprised me by asking his sister to watch the boys tomorrow night so we could go out (our 6th wedding anniversary is sunday–but we’ve been together for about 14 or 15 years.) i really need time away from the boys. then saturday, dennis is leaving at 3:30 to bartend a wedding and i’ll join him later when mom’s off work. our best friends, k & u.v. are bartending too. i’m missing out on a free meal b/c i can’t go on time. dangit.

sunday, beau’s baptism is at 4. i pray everyone gets along and no one acts like a pain in the ass. my sister is working so they won’t be here. my one BIL is on the fire squad or whatever you call it for a NASCAR race this weekend so he won’t be there. my nephew has a football game so his family won’t be there. oh well. i wish they’d all stay home. they’re just going to talk about what a horrible mother i am later behind my back. hopefully my mom isn’t too hostile toward them. i do have to be around them still. they disgust me but what can you do?

so that about sums up our weekend. it’s going to be a doozy.

the worst task? finding clothes for everyone. the only person who has something to wear is sawyer. mom got him a shirt and i had shorts already to match. we found a pair of pants for beau but they didn’t have his size!! argh. maybe if i see them in his size tomorrow night when dennis and i are out (if we go to wal-mart), i’ll be able to convince him to buy them. haha the porker needs an 18 month pant. he can wear 12 month but we like to buy bigger b/c he grows out of it too fast and they don’t fit with cloth diapers. he can’t even wear the pants my mom just got him at easter time. i have a bunch of shirts to choose from for him but very little in the way of shorts and pants. and for me? ugh. i might just end up wearing this cotton dress i have. it’s comfy. mom got me a jacket and some other stuff the other day; maybe i’ll wear it with the jacket. i need something to wear on saturday too but i guess i don’t have to be really dressy since we’re not actually guests at the wedding. we should probably look decent though, i guess…..? i have a few outfits set out. i’ll have to get dennis to help me choose which ones to wear to which event.

wow. i guess i had quite a bit to say.
