It’s Uniform Day!

Today, we have to go try-on and order school uniforms for the Princess.  There are still a few weeks of summer vacation left, but if we don’t order by Monday, we aren’t guaranteed to get them before school starts. 

 

Drawbacks to these uniforms:

1. Price—I am going to spend a couple hundred dollars today. Sad smile

2. Location—I have to drive almost an hour away for the Princess to try on the uniforms and to order them.  Then when they come in, I have to scoot back up there to pick them up.  (Not loving this!)

3. Timing—We are supposed to go on vacation with my parents (and siblings and their families) in two weeks.  I could use this money then for that!

 

Anyways, I guess I can just stop complaining.  Nothing is going to change about it.  I just wish these things were different.  Actually, I’m hoping that before it is all said and done the school will find a store with a more central location for uniform purchasing, but if not….. let’s hope the Princess doesn’t outgrow these any time soon!   LOL  Right?

You should try to coordinate a consignment sale for area schools with uniforms. It could be held each July or August and families could save tons. And, unless uniforms have changed since I was in private school, they last forever.

Weight Update!!

Last week, I didn't weigh myself because I was sick! Plus, I didn't really eat anything much at all last week. I did, however, register for Weight Watchers online. So I did spend time reading up and learning about the program. Today, I got on the scale. Two weeks ago, I weighed 402. Today, I weigh 390! In two weeks, I have lost another 12 lbs. That makes a total of 26 lbs. so far! I'm excited! Yeah, if you look at the previous post about my weight, it says that I started at 412. Yeah... I looked at the paper wrong. I started at 416. I lost 4 lbs the first week. I lost 4 lbs the second week. I lost 6 lbs the third week. Then I didn't weigh in last week. I weighed in today at 12 lbs down! I can tell it mostly in my pants. I HATE for my pants to be baggy, so I buy them to fit! Yesterday, I wore my black dress pants to church and I had to keep pulling them up. I'm going shopping next Sunday with my mom! I'm so happy! Next Sunday is my bday! So.....

Still Learning

Ok...so I'm always learning something new. However, recently, I have seriously been thinking about something. I want to learn to sew. My mom has a sewing machine I can use any time I want to. Of course, if I really learn to sew, I'd want my own sewing machine! ;) Anyways, I have been checking into classes. I have only found one place in my town that does classes. They offer a 4 week class for $115. That's not bad for a class. But, I'm afraid I wouldn't learn in 4 weeks and I'd need to take the class again! lol Anyways, I'm still looking into it. I'd love to learn. I will one day. However, I've seen some REALLY cute things that I'd love to sew for Chasity to wear! :) Until next time........

NC Weather

Image
In the state of NC, we rarely get that BIG SNOW. They used to be more common.  We used to get one huge snow a year.  Now, we are lucky if we get one every 2-3 years.    However, schools are cancelled, delayed, or let out early for weather all the time here.  We haven’t heard anything today about our schools, but we shall see.    It’s all about waiting to see what happens.  Sometimes, I think that God is sitting up there showing us HIS sense of humor.  He lets the weather people tell us whatever they want to tell us.  Then HE decides to have some fun with the weather.  (That’s just my 2 cents!)   Countdown Updates: 0 days until I pick up cookies!  TODAY is the day! They are still calling for “weather,” but they are pushing back the start time to later today. My scheduled pick up time is 6pm. So, we shall see.  It should be fine. Tony is going to drive me there so I’m not having to do it alone.  Then ...
