It became apparent that a summer of shorts with growing kids leads to a fall shopping trip. Arielle and I valiantly headed to out to our own “war” – “The Shopping War”. We were thrilled to find all the right sizes 30 x 32; 32 x 32; 32 X 34; 8 slims….on sales at Ross’s and the other famed battleground – Wal-mart. It appears, however, that one must now watch for the CUT and not just the size. I noticed that the relaxed jeans we bought the older three young men seemed rather baggy. I commented that I seemed to have gotten the wrong size and was assured that I got the right size. I then noted that they didn’t seem very relaxed. Jared (11) solved the mystery of the baggy pants for me, “Mom, I wouldn’t call it relaxed having to jump behind a tree every 5 minutes to pull your pants up!” :::snort::::
Zander continues to give me wonderful advice on parenting and life in general. I’m not sure WHERE he picked it up but he loves to tell me, “MOM!!! RE – LAAAAAX!” He also has begun cocking his head to the left and saying "You talking at me?" and "don't sass me"....sigh. To show him in a brigther l ight I continue to struggle with wrist pain (and feet pain too???). Zander has taken to asking me quite often "Mom, Your wrist hurt?" and giving me a hug. One day last week I asked Zander to help me carry laundry and he said, "Ohhh....my wrist hurts!" He also has a new habit of shaking the computer mouse. I asked what he was doing and he said, “waking UP the mouse”.
