46 Reasons (&11 pairs) Why I Love Freecycle

When you marry a man of a certain stature and consent to have his children, rarely do you reflect on the future body type of your offspring. This is short-sighted since you consented to incubate this child for nearly a year, push it from your body, then continue to clothe the child for the first 18-22 years of it's life.

Three weeks ago I noticed that Caleb had finally grown into the waist of his pants. YAHOO! My rapture was short-lived though... last week, only two weeks later, I asked Caleb if he thought it was raining 'cause his pants were ready for a flood. High-water's.

I pulled out some 4T pants from my stash (yes, I have a clothing stash) and noticed they were not as plentiful as the 5T collection, so I typed up a message on Freecycle.

So I neglected the loads of laundry occupying our upstairs hallway and planned on a box of ol' blue along with some apples and crackers for dinner and headed out.
Here are some shots from our outing to Oak Grove Farm, Out of 75 pictures these are the best. And, believe it or not, they are making an appearance on this blog UNEDITED.

I Get Around

The past two weeks I’ve been haunted by a noise (think the score from Jaws). A foreshadowing of an arrival. The sound is of a plastic chair being pushed across the floor. At the beginning of the first week it was rather slow in approaching, but more recently it is more like the lightening before the thunder…
