girls day out!

mapboy left last night to spend some time with grandma and his boy cousin! so this morning princess and i did a few things around the house and then took off for an afternoon of shopping!!

i was curious how this event would go. she LOVES clothes, but at the age of 4 (okay almost 5) i wasn't sure how long she would last. i have always bought her garage sale clothes or hand-me-downs. i hated those growing up, of course most of mine came from my cousins who were in esssence a decade ahead of me style wise. anways....most of her collection is mismatched items but she wears them proudly. we decided this year she could get a few brand new outfits for school.



so off to target we go....she must have picked out 20 different things to try on. i figured when we got to the dressing room she would get bored with trying them on. oh no....she tried each item on and twirled in front of the mirror. it was so much fun to watch my little girl be so precious. some she said she didn't like, some didn't fit, and some mommy had to say no to! we finished there and did kohls and old navy. she even enjoyed a trip through bed, bath, and beyond!



i had thought we could enjoy lunch at panera, but mcdonald's was the request. atleast they have iced coffee now - that makes the experience a little more enjoyable!

i had so much fun enjoying the day with my little girl! i look forward to many more outings just like this one! and i did learn one thing - she is just like me!!

oh yeah...if anyone out there in bloggy land is looking to get rid of some 4t girls clothes...let me know:)

me, on politics

i despise politics. i never liked it, but i married a man fascinated with it. a man who wanted to be part of it all...and was, briefly. boy were our eyes opened... anyways...it seems like this election has several hot button topics. one of which is universal healthcare. my cousin started a blog called politics for mom and there have been several heated debates going on. i was reading several comments on healthcare. and frankly i was bothered! now, i don't know that a strict universal healthcare is the answer, but i do know that we have now doesn't work for the average person. here is our story.... hubby worked in a small business - 3 employees at the most that i can remember. we paid 1/2 our insurance..until it came to the point where our half each month was twice what we would pay if we were on our own. but for the owner it saved him money. so he agreed to cover ours in full. we were very grateful. i also know at times, that because of the healthcare cost, it was a struggle f...

the "calling"

okay - so it's been awhile since i've ranted...and it's time! it is beautiful outside and i'm sitting inside my makeshift office at the church. i am lucky enough to have a door that opens to the outside so it is wide open and i'm loving that. but as i'm working here today i feel the need to rant so enjoy.... being in my position i often have to ask people to help out. you know, volunteer to teach or work in the nursery or teach or hang out with the kids, you know - volunteer! i love all the responses i get. i am particularly fond of the "i don't like kids one" - it doesn't go over real well with me when they have 3 of their own. hmm??? but the one that really gets my goat is the "i don't feel called to that." argh...really!?!?!!?!? well, i didn't feel called to wipe my kids bottoms either, but it is a good thing i did it anyways. surprisingly, everyone feels called to the waterpark though! now, let me back up a ...
