But then again, the only jacket that I want from her, I haven't been able to wear since I have longer limbs than her. It's sitting in my closet waiting to be altered.

She went to school today in polka dot palazzo pants from Contempo Casual. Oh the humanity.

And when he would not give it back to me on lazy-stuck-in-the-house-cuz-it's-raining-Sunday,I ended up wearing his the rest of the day. Yes, I made his a little roomy to grow into, but it was not tight on me at all. The belt was way too short, though. And part of the reason my robe was so humongous on him is bc I made it big enough to fit me when I was expecting his little brother...so, yeah it's way big on me too.

Great for paperbacks and Trade paperbacks, as well. If you're like me and aspire to having totally segregated book collections with the hardcovers off looking stuffy and intellectual, and the paperbacks mixing it up in the back rooms. But most perople are sane. As an aside — media cabinets? Great for paperbacks and Trade paperbacks, as well.

I shifted my maternity clothes into my closet, and non-maternity stuff out. I did a toy culling, AND a kid shoe culling. YAY! I had that kind of weekend, too.

The years fly by and, before you know it, there is your daughter wearing the short, black leather miniskirt that you wore on that ill-fated, one date with....what was his name again?

They even drove off with the ancient (bulky) television two weeks ago! Unfortunately since they come fairly regularly I am not quite as ruthless with the pitching as I should be... still, baby steps! Now, someone tell my Mother to stop off-loading her de-cluttering treasures on my Children!
