Its been a long stretch of illness, and things have really slowed down. But you’ve probably noticed, we’re back at it this week! Yesterday I spent the day out shopping with Cher, getting ready for the upcoming lake season! Clothes shopping for those who needed it. That was the priority.
I will admit, I was pretty discouraged when I came home and learned that none of the shorts I bought fit :/ Value Village has ditched their change rooms, so I bought shorts that were significantly bigger than last summers shorts, and still, upon trying them on at home, they didn’t even come close. I won’t lie – It has been HARD to have such a change in that area. I am happy to be healthier, and to have an appetite for maybe the first time ever in my life. Its crazy how different that is! But man. Shopping has some added challenges now. I am dressing a completely different body. So I don’t know my sizes anymore. I don’t like the fit of most of what I own. There is a lot of change.
I mourned my old self a bit yesterday, and had a pretty down moment when my shorts didn’t even come close to fitting. I told Cher, and she immediately reassured me that we’d go in to exchange them the very next morning.
So we did that today. I wore leggings in full preparation for trying shorts on overtop of them. No shame.
Thank goodness, I was able to find some nice stretchy, high waisted shorts to tuck in my less preferred parts of my body, and we even found a swim top and some tank tops to boot! I am thrilled and relieved to say I am completely ready for the season ahead. I have clothes that fit. So do the kids. I think a couple of them still need sandals but its hard to do that shop without their actual feet, so we’ll get there soon enough.
Now that some of that stuff is taken care of, I have energy for more things at home! I took a bit of a crocheting hiatus while we were out super sick, but I’m back at it now! Catching up on a few orders, while simultaneously trying to build an inventory for the farmers market I’m joining in just a few short weeks!
Tonight I have to attend a meeting to register Waverly for preschool. *barf* I cannot believe we’re there. Our youngest is going to be in school. I’m not ready. I never ever thought Wavy would be our youngest. Goodness. These last couple of years though 😓 They have been YUGE.
Tomorrow I have an all-day appointment in the city.
Friday Brady has an appointment and then an errand run.
And this weekend is garage sale day and mothers day!!
As the weather has lifted, the days have filled! But with many good things 🙂 Does anyone else feel like suddenly time is absolutely racing by?!
