Wednesday AM Alone – #3

Labor Day has come and gone and a good southerner knows that means to switch the closets. I am obviously not a good southerner because it’s over a week after Labor Day and I am just now getting to closet number one.

With the house to myself this morning, I turned the Backstreet Boys up to a ridiculous level and went through KB’s closet to remove the summer clothes , too small clothes, etc. The closet and drawers were surprisingly empty when I finished. I can’t believe that KB didn’t have more sleeved shirts over the summer. I ran to pull out the 2T box to see what goodies were ready to be put into the drawers and onto hangers when, much to my surprise and chagrin, I found very few size 2T clothes!!!! PANIC.

I put out what I did find – all long sleeve, mind you – and then began to try and remember what Little had worn during her 2nd (and 3rd actually) year of life. I called a friend to see if I had lent her the clothes – nope. And then it hit me. Little wore her cousins clothes. Yikes!

I made a list of what we will need and the errands I had planned for the rest of my morning alone were expanded somewhat. I had planned to return a few items at Target – I checked the clearance rack for short sleeves. I had two boxes to drop off at Goodwill – I went inside to check for any short sleeve shirts. The new Walmart Superstore opened today and I didn’t need a thing but went to walk through, see how pretty it is, and decided to check for short sleeve shirts.

I’m going yardsaling this Saturday for sure!
Maybe I should check Little’s and Bubba’s closets ASAP to maximize my Saturday. No telling what I won’t find if I look.

Halloween – 1 costume down, 2 to go

The kids are going to be Peter Pan characters for Halloween. Little is Wendy (thanks to Memom). The question is, “Should Bubba be John and KB by Michael? or should Bubba be Peter Pan and KB be Tinker Bell?” It is OBVIOUS that the second option would be more. . . snazzy? but also MUCH more involved and expensive to make. What’s your vote???

Sleepless

Little has hit a new phase and for two weeks has been waking up EARLY. Several mornings it was just 5:30AM but it has slowly crept up. The last three nights have been 2:30A, 2:00A, and (my personal favorite) 12:30AM last night.

Please pray for us, her, and the call I am making to the doctor today!
