I'm doing OK today. Life is OK. The check book is gonna balance, we will have food, MJ is doing great, yeah, things feel nice today. I wish it was like this every day. I want to hope that I wake up and just know that a good day is here. Hell, hubby and I didn't even have one little spat about anything today!! He even wants to buy MJ a dress. Yep, showing his girly side there.
Well, I did wake up with my hands hurting. So annoying to me, but the pain meds took care of that. I can say we were both pretty tired, so I guess that's why we didn't fight, but since it was his day off, we had a bunch to do. So no time to argue!! Our first stop was the doctor's for MJ's 2 year check up. And just wow! 2 years already!! She finally hit double digits in percentile for weight. Ever since she was born she has always been right on the edge of failure to thrive. No matter what we did, she just didn't gain weight. And even now her weight gain is still very slow, but for her age now, it's good. Still low, but good. Her height, however, is tall!! She's my skinny tall twig!! 35 inches. As long as she doesn't get big feet like I have, I think she'll be just fine.
Next we went to lunch, where surprisingly MJ didn't eat much, even though I gave her all her favorites. She's been on a plain noodle diet, so I guess that's why. Then Joann's to get netting to fix her batman dress that got ripped. And since it was on sale I bought the blue and white for her Halloween costume this year. I can't wait!! Then target for coffee and for chuck to look at dresses. Surprisingly this target had no dresses for MJ's size. He's going to order one online. One last birthday gift since my parents once again sent nothing for her birthday. That makes me so sad. But I'll talk about it another day.
We checked out a newly opened restaurant food supply store. Oh man, the things you can buy in bulk there!! We picked up 2 10 pound bags of pasta that MJ eats for $6 each, way cheaper than Walmart or fry's sale prices. Certain things were not a better deal though, like chicken. Ground beef was hit or miss. Sausage patties seemed like a good deal. We might try getting a big cut of beef to cut down for steaks and roast later.
In the morning I have to go to Walmart to get some supplies. I may hit bashas on the way home, then fry's on Sunday for cheese because MJ only like fry's brand munster. And I admit, it's really tasty. And on sale.
So yes, today made a good day. I want more of these. But I know, I know deep down, that it won't happen. I can only hope, and just try. Try to smile, try to have patience, try to work thru the pain in my hands. And currently foot. Which MJ dropped a scrapbook on. Silly girl who tries my patience daily, whom I love with my whole heart and soul.
