Let them eat cupcakes!

Isadora is off with a friend seeing a My Little Pony stage show (god help us). So far today we've been to Chick-fil-A for breakfast then down to Super H for fun food things for the girls lunchboxes and over to Atlanta Cupcake Factory for a dozen cupcakes. I wasn't overly impressed with the chocolate one I ate, the cake was dry which shouldn't be an issue with a cupcake that cost as much as that one did. The others I've tried have been better but not amazingly so.

Now I'm giving Rhiannon's hair one last creepy crawler treatment (*shudder*) and I'm going to henna mine. For some reason I got a LOT of grey during my pregnancy and though Tomas claims its cute it really bothers me.

Tomorrow we're going to try and find a Hello Kitty store. Also I've decided that I need some Apple Bottom Jeans. I suspect they're well suited to my particular shape. It would be nice to find jeans that fit my hips and bum and also my waist. Contrary to what most clothes manufacturers seem to think even big women have waists.

I think Torrid sells Apple Bottoms, but I know that is a bit of a hike from your house.

Yay for henna, too :)

I think we're going up to Discover Mills tomorrow (they have a Sanrio store it seems) so maybe I'll find some to try on there so I can figure out my size and look for them cheaper elsewhere.

Your public demands pictures!

Pants are the biggest headache in the universe. I can't find any that fit OR are flattering and it's been driving me insane. I realize I'm not a normal shape, minimal waist that looks smaller because my thighs are the biggest part of my body, but it seriously shouldn't be so hard and I don't want to have to spend so much time and effort shopping. I've been intrigued by Apple Bottoms. I'm not sure you can read this thread without being a member of the board, but they had a lot of jeans suggestions I want to investigate someday when I'm not so lazy and my weight/shape has stabilized a bit more.

We never made it out to the mall. I'd been up with Jack all night and then Isadora woke up puking. Nothing like a little sleeplessness and puke to go with the lice. I think it was a universally fucked up weekend.

I could read the thread and I was interested in one suggestion in particular but the page wouldn't load properly. Dernit. I really just need to suck it up and invest in a pair of jeans that fit properly and quit taking the cheap Old Navy cop out because then I just walk around having to haul them up all the time. I'm not even bothering to try for 'flattering'. Frankly I wouldn't know flattering if it smacked me upside the head. I have zero ability to judge such things. I'd just like 'doesn't slide off'.

Well, "flattering" for me means that there's not more than an inch or so of bagginess at the waist and my thighs don 't look like they're trapped in too-tight fabric and plotting an escape.

I hope things get better for your family soon. Sick and tired is no fun at all.
