I'll ask my mom how often I had to do mine. twice a week is sounding familiar. Its been so long I dont remember.
Wearing the retainer when he eats is strange too. I dont blame you for letting him take it out.
I'm sure he's going to feel very self-conscious over his speech tomorrow. I'm so glad he got it Saturday morning and has had a few days of practice. He does pretty well, but of course still sounds "off".
DH suggested I let his teacher know about the expander, but I don't walk DS to school anymore, I have to drop him off at the corner in order to get DS4 to school just a tiny bit late instead of very late.
I'm not certain that is a good thing all the time but at least I have a good story.
I started working on it last night and then just finished it up. I'm planning to see if a store nearby that makes shirts and decals would be able to make it. If not then I will just buy a shirt and iron transfer paper and just iron it on myself.
Thank you!
I can't believe they ripped so bad! I mean, what kind of material was that? Good grief!When I walked in the door I immediately ripped off my pants and threw them in the wash. Jeff was like What happened.? I had to bring my ripped pants home because I wanted to show them just how bad they ripped. He would have never believed they were that bad.
Well, maybe he would have. stuff like this happens to me all the time. Even the girls said "Only Shawna would walk in here and do this!"
Except in rivers or lakes or course. I walked past her shopping cart on my way to pay for my clock and bolt out of the store. Well, my pant pocket caught on it and RIPPED!
I froze in doubt at first. Was that just me? Did that just happen? I reach around to my side, bare skin.
OMG!!!! BARE SKIN!!!
She turned probably thinking I farted honestly until she saw my hand at my side and froze too not believing what just happened. Then she BUSTED out laughing.
Remember I am with 5 women in a crowded store and i have to go back to a birthday party where there are 25 kids and parents and pick my kids up before I can head home. There is no time. OMG! What do I do. I say "Can I cover it up with my purse??" the answer looks like a yes but then something fell out of my purse as I shifted it from the right side of my body.
I squated down to pick it up and the tear just ripped down to my knee!
By the way feel free to laugh your head off right now because I am laughing so hard I'm crying.
I hadn't ripped my pants by them being too small and busting out of them BUT since there was a rip already the movement I made ripped them all the way down. There was no covering this. I was flapping in the wind.
Tina was crying she was laughing so hard. People were starting to wonder what was going on. Then the girls came over wondering what happened. They knew it had to be something about me. I am always donig something stupid. THIS IS SO ME!
They all fall into hysterics. I'm laughing so hard but I'm trying to hide by bare leg. Its ripped from my waist to my knee at the side seam.
Ok so what do I have to do.
Well there is only one t hing I CAN do. I said drive me to the mall and grab me some pants. They were like UMMM we are in a clothing store. HELL NO!
Yes Shawna you HAVE TO NOW! The Savers GODS were not going to let you get out of ther without purchasing something!!!! They have won! This is a sign you need to buy pants I'd say!
So they get me pants as I run for the dressing room. YUCK. I had to try these on. AND THEN WEAR THEM OUT! Like a kid wears shoes out of the store. YOu take the old shoes to the check out and then show that the new shoes are on their feet. That was my pants.
After a few pairs I found some that might work and that I can take on vacation. Then they throw the chicos shirt over too. For giggles I try it on but put it back as its sleeve hits me at the elbow and I hate that.
Anyway, so not only did I dip my toes in the Savers world today but I jumped in the pool completely naked! I had to wear a pair of pants without washing them.
I shop at thrift centers all the time and to be honest I don't think you could get me to wear the clothing out of the store. Goodwill maybe, because I'm pretty sure they wash their clothing before putting on the rack. However, not Value Village, I can tell they don't wash anything. Not to mention when I come home from thrifting the first thing I do is tear the tags off everything, throw them in the washer and throw myself in the shower! Somehow I bet you would change your mind Pix the first time you found a brand new Coach bag with the tags still on it for $2 at a garage sale! Garage sales can be especially lucrative and while some are not so good, you would be amazed at some of the new or almost new things you can find for next to nothing.
