Life on the prairie


• Monday, August 18, 2008 - I ate crow and it tasted like roast beef ;)

He (my hubby)  told me to.  I didn't do it.  I was sure I was right (not news there, lol)  He told me get a 10, but nooooooooooo, not me, it would be too small.  I had to return the 12's today because they got baggy very quickly, like within 15 minutes.  Now, before you get your hair in a knot, let me say that these are realllllly big 10's..... they say relaxed fit, but the last pair was so relaxed it was in a coma and fit horribly.  So I bought a pair of 10's.  He said I'd better buy some 8's too.  I looked at him realllllly ready to argue the point, instead clamped my jaws shut and picked up the 8's (talk about wishful thinking! ha ha ha)  So that is how I ate crow and it tasted like roast beef... I hate being wrong, but I didn't mind it so much this time :)

Today was the big day for my niece.  She turned 12.  She came upstairs to my bed last night, curled in next to me, crying.   She wants so badly for her male genetic donor (read that "father" who doesn't deserve the title) to call her, to remember her, on her birthday. We snuggled and she cried out her pain, then when she was soothed, she went back to her bed.  It's almost 8 p.m. here, and still nothing, but at least her mom called first thing this morning.  Her dad told her ( heard this one with my own ears) that he wouldn't come down or call because he doesn't like me.  The reason he doesn't is he says he feels "bad" about himself around me.  Wow, what a reason to ignore your child.  He hasn't been this way to all his four children, he lost parental rights to her two older brothers and can't see them until they are 18 now, if they choose to, but has gained partial custody of a younger brother from another mother.  My niece doesn't know about that, or it would rip her heart out.  I'm so thankful she turns often to the Lord for her strength.

That's enough of life for now, I reckon.  Hope all in your world is well!

Be safe :)

Howdy there, Amy Jo! Thank you for the prayers for my niece. Next year she will be 13, so you can start praying for ME anytime, hahahaha!!! As for what fits, welllllll, they all do (except I haven't tried on the 8s yet), so much for getting my vanity in gear, lol, they must be big is all I can figure. I tried on some 11s and they were too tight so I'm thinking that it is all manufacturer discretion in the sizing. I'm probably, like, really an 18 or something and they are vanity sizing everything, lol Hope all is well in your world today :)
