supporting the economy September 15, 2006
Posted by spacemom in : Life...otherwise, Nance, Home wreckers , 1 comment so farTomorrow, two mom friends and I are hitting the local outlet mall. We leave Metro West Boston at 9:30 with Dunkin’ donuts in hand to get to Wrentham outlets!
So darn exciting. Most of this trip is for ME ME ME! I have discovered the my pregnancy with Luna has left me with size 7-7.5 feet. Hmm, is this why NONE of my size 6.5 shoes FIT?? Ack! So I need at least 3 pairs of shoes! I know I know! I hate shopping for shoes…But maybe I’ll get lucky.
I also want to get some nice pants. I am starting to get tired of my jeans and nice shirt look at work…but then again, they are so comfy….
I do need to buy some dressed for the girls. They have both decided that dresses are the THING to have. Luna gets irrational if you give her pants. G-d FORBID she wear pants.
So far, things are going a bit smoother at work. I am looking at taking most of the day off Tuesday, All of Wednesday, all of Thursday and most of Friday. There is a meeting on Tuesday I need to come in for, a goodbye to my admin person on Friday, but MAYBE I can actually FINISH the bedroom in between? I have 2 walls stripped of wall paper, but only 1/2 washed (you need to wash the remaining paste off before you patch and prime). The hope is to get the base coat down Sunday or Monday night on these two walls and then strip and clean one more wall on Tuesday. I really hate the stripping wallpaper part. I know I’ve said it before…
Yesterday, Soleil’s Pre-K teacher related a funny story to me. They were asking the kids where the dinosaurs they were playing with should live. Soleil’s answer? The Cretaceous period. Oh yeah, That’s my girl! Then we had a debate between Jay and I whether T. Rex lived in the Cretaceous or Jurassic period. I lost, it was the Cretaceous. Soleil told me "Of course it was mommy." Damn you Leap Pad! You have taught my child more of the dinosaurs than I know!
