A 'Friday's Child' Blog

Welcome & Thanks for joining me as I attempt to unscramble the craziness running around in my brain . . . Stick around & you just might find me rambling on about sewing, cooking, baking, homeschooling, romance, getting fit {hah!}, and keeping my sanity while raising the Littles . . . Is that even possible?¿? (=

Can I Just Go Back to Bed?

You ever have one of those days?  


You know~the kind where you wake up on time, the coffee is GOOD, you get chores done, schoolwork done, the children get along and play beautifully...and when it's time to head out into the world everything just rolls together nicely...your hair is perfect, the only makeup you need is powder because your complexion looks GREAT & that perfect outfit practically leaps out of your closet ready to wear...yeah~I love that day...


That was so NOT today.


I woke up late, the coffee pot parts were buried under the dishes I forgot to wash last night, the children could NOT get along {{thankfully a VERY rare occurrence}}, and I just couldn't get it together to leave the house...ended up with jeans, a ruffled tank & cardi and my gold thong sandals...yes, it was cute and I'm glad I was able to look put together for the Hubs, but I wanted to wear a dress {{my every day wear}} and feel the warm breeze outside.  


WARNING~Rant Coming On!!!:  However the {{LOTS OF}} extra weight I currently carry around prohibited me from donning one of my summer dresses... )=  This will be fixed.  Soon.  Soon, as in I have appt with a Weight Loss & Nutritional Team on March 13.  Hopefully sooner if they have a cancellation.  I am SO READY.  And thankful that M is letting me do it...
RANT OVER!


Back to my day, lol.  I did manage to get the dishes washed, but now must choose between the piles of laundry covering my entire sectional sofa or the bow order that is due tomorrow...it may be an all nighter...An imperfect end to my imperfect day...


And I Am THANKFUL For EVERY Second Of It.

Shoe~Topia

Have you ever been to Shoe~Topia?  NO!?!  Oh My~You MUST visit someday.  I am there now, & let me tell you...it's Remarkable Awesome Sensational WONDROUS!  


My trip to this Glorious {{NON FICTIONAL}} place began when the entire family went shopping for new Sanuks.  We are in Deep Deep LIKE with this brand of shoe...the 'Yoga Mat' style is SO COMFY & as we are planning our Big "DISNEY TRIP" in a few weeks, we needed to replace our old 'holey soled' ones that we wore out last year... (=


This year our store of choice held way more variety than last year...but not much that I was interested in. =/  I did pick up this SUPER COMFY pair here....



...but felt the need to look further...So I Did! (=

I found these two pair 

and

on Zappos & they came in today... {{LOVE}}.

I also bought these for Robot~>

{{And that's on top of the two pair of floppers he got two days ago!}}  Hey Man~Fla Residents need flip flops!

Ruffles got this cute little pair of Tommy Hilfiger's from our local Outlet Store...

She wanted to nap in them today...BTW~how CUTE is she???

They are too big for her TINY Little Feets, {{thus causing a small trip & scrape}} but with shoes vs sandals or flip flops you can get away with a larger size...Oooh oooh oooh...here is a cute one of both my babies {{don't you just love all the pics with backgrounds of trucks and curbside garbage?  But, you take the pictures where the kiddos will cooperate!}}

Okay...enough about them and back to my SHOES!!!

What's our count now...3?  Okay, I also picked up an ADORABLE pair of Fushia Floral Thongs from the aforementioned Outlet Store.  I rarley find anything for myself there, but this day I literally turned around and bumped into them!  The next night, we rode out to a relatives house for a quick visit and I left with a bag full of FOUR brand new pair of flip flops...See!?!  Shoe~Topia!!!  Here are my last 5 pair...

I'm telling ya~this was MY week!  {{And to go with all those EIGHT PAIR of flip flop/thongs/sandals, I picked up a small battery powered pedicure device~like a drill?~ AND two new bottles of OPI...

and


Two PERFECT summer colors...good for ANY skin tone and appropriate for day or night...{{sigh}}



UPDATE!!!

HOW could I forget to show y'all my MOST Favorite pair!?!  These are no longer available unfortunatley, but I DO love them...they are SO comfy & will match EVERYTHING in my summer wardrobe...this is my GO TO COLOR for Summer!

Simply Vera by Vera Wang 'Mia' Coral Thong Sandals...
