Thank you, Mom

My jeans have all been getting too big as I start to lose this baby weight, plus the knees have been wearing out. We've been waiting to sell one of Luis' sprees before I go clothes shopping, but it hasn't happened yet. This week, my mom sent some things down with Amy, and buried in the basket was $50. I was supposed to take the money and do nothing other than buy some clothes for me, nothing for the kids or bills. She said she's been where we are right now, and that she wishes someone would have done this for her then. So, I went shopping. I managed to get two pair of pants, plus find two cute shirts on the clearance rack. Add the fun of new clothes to the fact that the size 12 pants fit wonderfully, and I feel terrific! :D I doubt I'll ever be a size 3 like I was in high school again, but it's nice to be smaller than a 14 or 16 once more. My long term goal: size 8.

Vincent only woke up 5 times last night, plus he had a two and a half hour nap yesterady and a two hour nap today. I hope this continues. *knock on wood* He's definately going to the chiro more often! LOL

I finished Vincent's doll for Solstice, but his lime and navy sweater won't be done for pictures. The front is about 3/4 of the way finished, then I just have to do the sleeves and seaming. I was sidetracked today by my Craving to Knit Cardigan. I've finished the back up to the armhole shaping. It is so soft and fluffy, I can't wait to wear it.
