Rebecca and I

It's 11:30pm, and so very quiet tonight. Rebecca is sleeping, volume on tv is turned down low, and Jim is away for 3 days up to the cabin with Joe. They got up there and found no electric on. Which means no pump for water, no airconditioner, no refridgerator and no tv. LOL, and no coffee in the morning until they go to restaurant and get breakfast. Jim took his sleeping bag to lay on, but he forgot his pillow. Last time he forgot his pillow, his neck hurt for a week.

So, it is just Rebecca and I for the holiday weekend. We can't go to Emma's for risk of getting chicken pox. So, Rebecca and I went to Walmart. I bought 4 huge bath towels on sale for 3.84 each. A pair of clip on sunglasses for my eye glasses. I let Jim use my other pair of clip ons the other day and what he do? He lost them. He bought his own today, when he went to get sneakers. Bought a new frying pan with a glass lid. My frying pans suck. And of course a trip to the toy isle, lol. Rebecca has been wanting the Disney Princess Tea Party set, she saw on tv. Well, I found one. On sale for 9.88. Then she spotted a  basket of plastic veggies and fruits, and said she just had to have it. That item, 3.88. Ok, walking down the isle thinking we're done shopping, she yells, Mommy, there it is and is pointing on the very top shelf. I look up and it's pots, pans, lids and utensils. And their real aluminum ones at that. I tell her no, and she starts crying. But I really need it mommy. I can make you dinner on my stove. Man, this kid is good. I reach up barely touching it with my finger tips. No one around to help. How am I getting this box down? Rebecca hands me a kids broom. Cool, that'll work. Yea right. I knock down box off shelf thinking I can catch it. Wrong idea. Box bounces off my head and falls in cart. All, I can say about that, is thank goodness they weren't made of cast iron, lol. Practically dragged my child out of toy isle, was moving so fast, before I was attacked by anymore toys. Headed towards check-out isles. Walking down cleaning supply isle. Ah Ha, I need some cleaning supplies. Got Windex, and bathroom cleaner. Also picked up a case of bottled water. When it is hot and humid I drink alot of water, and I make Rebecca do so also. Came back home, put things away, and opened all Rebecca's things for her. She played for quite a while, until storm came. Wow, what a storm too. It poured, wind was blowing like it was mad, lightning so bright it lit up the room and thunder loud, very loud. Lost satelite for a bit, and I shut down computer just in case power went off and I lit a couple candles. It finally ended around 10:30.

Jim put both airconditoners in windows, thank goodness. Otherwise, I can't breathe when it's hot and muggy. Weather says sunny hot and humid tomorrow. 90 degrees. It's ok, Rebecca and I will stay indoors in the cool air.

Here I am wearing my new clip ons, and the outfit I got to wear to the wedding reception/BBQ in Pittsburgh next weekend. All, I need now is a flower in my hair and a peace sign necklace, lol. Wonder where my child gets the I hate shoes thing from? LOL. And check out the mirror. I definately needed windex, don't ya think? I need to do something with my hair. Don't know what yet. Maybe have it layered.

And I took a few pics of Rebecca. Well, she made me take them. By the way, she took the one above of me. She's getting good at using my digital camera. So, here she is.

 OH I FORGOT. SHE GOT A PIN WHEEL AT WALMART ALSO, 94 CENTS.

 HER BASKET OF VEGGIES AND FRUIT.

Well, that's about it for now. I am tired and am going to bed. Hope your all having a great weekend.

LOVE TO ALL.............................

  6. Loved hearing about your escapades in the toy isle.  In fact, love reading your posts on Rebecca as it brings back so many fun memories of when my girls were young.  LOL.  I'm glad he got the A/C in for you and you'll be able to keep cool.  I'm thinking the layered look would be lovely for your hair, and the color of your outfit is a good color on you.  Very nice!

  10. Hi Cindy, loved your outfit you look great.  Yes I remember it well taking the children to Toys-R-Us they used to go bonkers.  Especially my son Julian he always knew what he wanted and nothing else would do, he was a nighmare.  What he wanted was always the most expensive thing. His saying was "don't buy me anything unless it can do something" I remember it well. Have a great girly weekend without the boys.  Raining here and very windy too. bye for now Kathie.

    Great escapade at the toy store! LOL
    Glad the a/c is on. Rain & stormy weather here too.

  12. Your beautiful!!!!! If you like to pull your hair up in ponytails, having it layered makes that task alittle harder, although I think it would look really nice layered! So happy Rebecca was able to get her kitchen together.  So what was for dinner?
    I hope you stay nice and cool and enjoy the rest of your Holiday weekend! Take care of you and yours!
