So, what is the Nita up to lately? Not too much of interest, but in order to keep my readership up, I thought I would drop in a few of my moments of epiphany. Tonight I took Myah out to find SOMETHING to wear to her 8th grade graduation. The child has grown up so much in the last few months that none of her decent clothes fit. Her normal clothes weren't quite right to wear to this event either. I mean, she dresses nice enough for school and what-not, but for a graduation she should wear something a bit nicer than Abercrombie and Fitch holey jeans and a t-shirt, right? Anyhow, like I was saying, I took Myah shopping. It took a total of six stores but we did find something. Actually, I picked it out but Myah liked it after she tried it on. She bought a green suit. Yep, green...like grass green. And, it has a little bit of shine to it. Very schmancy. She also got a dressy white tank top to wear under the jacket. Anyhow, I went in the dressing room with her to sit because I was tired and quite cranky by this time (mind you, six stores!) and I was busy folding up clothes she had tried on when she turned around with this amazing green suit on. Wow. Wow again. Myah is just a hair shorter than me and she has medium brown hair with a reddish cast to it. This suit made her look so much more mature and sophisticated. For a brief moment, all of her thirteen and a half years flashed before me. I wasn't looking at my baby anymore. I finally realized that she is a young woman. She looked so different. Myah hemmed and hawwed about the suit because it is green and she wasn't sure if her friends would like it, but after checking herself out in the mirror a few times, she said screw her friends and bought it. So, tomorrow night I will officially say goodbye to my middle-schooler and say hello to my high-schooler. She's an amazing kid young woman.

Other than that, I have been sitting around on my arse pretty much all day. I did manage to wash, dry, and fold about five loads of laundry. Hey, I have three kids, two of whom are female. Laundry is a day-to-day necessity around here. I did call my mom three times though. I know, this is getting a little cheese-sandwichy, but hey, give me a break! I was checking up on Mom because she was quite ill this weekend. She had a nasty case of bronchitis. Mom is recovering fine though and will be back up and running tomorrow.

Ummm. Well, I can't think of anything else that is new to report. Oh, I did pluck my eyebrows. It is a painful necessity. Oh, and for the ladies who read this... have you seen the new Always maxipads yet? I mean, they are the same, just in a new packaging. Anyhow, I got my period last week and I had one of the new packages of Always. I took the pad out of the wrapper and the little paper backing that is on the sticky stuff had this logo on it "Always have a Happy period". What, what???!!!!! I have since used those up and I will not be buying Always pads anymore. I mean, who in the hell has a happy period? Obviously men thought up of that logo. Sheeshh, idiots. No woman wants to have her period, and how can a woman have a happy period? Anyhow, something to ponder.
