conulyWhich is annoying, and I had 4 left over after cooking dinner the other night, and now I'm just roasting them in the usual way. Gonna make potatoes to go with. It's boring, but it will be edible. Potatoes and carrots, I think.
I ordered the girls new shorts and shirts for the summer as Ana urgently needed shorts and she made a convincing argument that she needed shirts as well, as all of hers raised up to the belly button if she lifted her arms. (I don't have any sort of modesty concern here, but she cares, and really it's not unreasonable for me to buy the next size up for her.)
As I did it, I had Eva show me the tag on the pants she was wearing so I could get the right size. "Wow, 10/12, huh? I had no idea!"
Turns out that Childrens Place cuts its leggings and bike shorts a little differently from all other pants and skirts and so nothing I bought her fits and we're debating whether I should just baste up the waist a little on those or return them. I'm tempted to do the former. I need to get some more pins first. And maaaaaaybe a wider variety of thread colors.
This isn't a disaster, we technically have plenty of last year's shorts for her, but a. they're all covered in cat hair (turns out the lid fell off the box of summer clothes and Mama Cat's been using it as a bed for the past several months) and b. she always complains she never gets new clothes, only hand-me-downs. Which isn't quite true, but....
I also confirmed today that Ana's been completely lying about taking her inhaler, which means I will no longer listen to whining about her asthma "getting worse". It's not getting worse, Ana, you're just not doing the one thing you're supposed to be doing about it! She's freaking twelve, when do we get to stop sitting on top of her to make her take her medicine?
