It's Monday Again

Today I have a cold. I don't get colds very often, in fact the last one I had was 14 months ago. I woke up this morning a little before 6am. Seriously. Went back to sleep and got up at 730. I really would have liked to have slept in this morning. So because of that I eventually went back to bed. I had snot stuffed up my nose, pressure in my sinuses, a headache, thankfully my sore throat is gone and dang it I wanted a sick day. So I didn't go to the gym today. I know bad, bad me, but I knew I would have snot running down my face if I had gone. Now that it is the end of the day I feel really bad, but that's life. I missed another Monday work out. Will not happen next week, I promise. I decided that because it was Monday that I needed to clean something. My house is pretty clean, so it wasn't as if I needed to do much cleaning. There is a closest that I open often that is a total mess and really bugs me, so today I cleaned it out.
So when I got into this I realized the heinz box that was holding my little pharmacy and home medical needs needed to be replaced. And because of the slots in the closet shelves things seem to always tip over. So I decided to take a break from the closet cleaning. All day long I have wanted to go to the thrift stores. Friday night I had a few minutes and stopped by one and had some huge success, but didn't have time to brows but a few racks. So I gave into my desire and drove 12 miles to thrift store drive. There are actually three thrift stores right by each other. I first went to Value Village and found gobs of darling skirts from the children's place for my niece. I also got myself a few skirts, a shirt, and a book. There wasn't a dressing room however so when I got home to try on my skirts my very favorite one with tags from the store still on it didn't fit, so my friend Karen is going to get it, because I know it is going to look darling on her. I also got my in the womb niece a pair of shoes. I went to The Good Will where I had previously been last week and found a pair of shoes for Aidree and another skirt. I also got me two pairs of shoes for $2.75 each. In my shopping I also got Aidree a snow suit for next year because when I was home for Christmas they were trying to find one for her at the last minute. One of the twins will get a new pair of church shoes and so will Gavin if he wears a size 10 1/2. I had actually initially gone to the thrift store to find a black shirt with white polka dots because I saw one on a friend that looked so cute. Glad I found what I was looking for!
I also got Aidree 2 pairs of pants and a darling dress. By the way Alisha if Ava wears a 6 then she gets to use the blue skirt, because Aidree won't fit in it for a while. It is so cute too.
Last week I got a sweater from j-crew, a calvin klein shirt, and another shirt.
I did hit the dollar store and finished the closet. Walla!

  2. I keep hearing about this Value Village. Let me know the next time you're going! And do I dare hope I'm the "friend Karen" who will get the skirt? =)

    Your closet looks great, by the way. I've got one here you can come work on next. =)
