Friday and home from work.

Read here to join the party.

I ended up not going to work today. I'm having yet another FMS flare, yuck! I am so sore it's not funny. But I'm trying not to think about it too much. I'm trying to move as much as I can becuase if I don't I'll just end up in even more pain. That's the problem with FMS, your darned if you do and darned if you don't!

I have to pick up Anna today from daycare (dd working later than normal) and I knew the moment I opened my eyes this morning it would have been impossible for me to go to work and pick her up. Getting home from work, I take the trolley and then the train. I would have had to get off the train at the daycare and then a 20 minute walk. A 20-minute walk when I feel this bad turns into an hour, my arms and legs are on fire. At least staying home I can hop the bus to go get her since it's a straight run from home. It sucks I've always loved walking and to me it's not a long walk at all. Oh well.

On a more positive note , yesterday when I left work instead of getting off at 30th St. Station, I stayed on the trolley and went to the Gallery. My granddaughter is in serious need of fall and winter clothes and I wanted to see if I could get a few things for her. When your income is limited it gets tough keeping up with a growing baby!

Anyway I was going to go in the K-Mart but when I walked by the Old Navy they were having a sale. OH I found the cutest things. I ended up spending $68.00 but for that amount I got her 2 pairs of jeans, a jacket, 4 long sleeve tops and 2 pairs of pajamas. I think I did pretty good this time and I love all the pinks and browns. I did end up in K-Mart anyway because I needed a new pair of sneakers and I'm really cheap when it comes to buying myself something. I did find a comfortable pair (that's all I worry about) for $20.00 and got lucky because K-Mart's shoes are on sale, buy one get another for 50% off. So you know what I did, lol, I bought Anna another pair of sneakers. Well, at least she has 2 pair now. I bought her Dora sneakers and last week I found cute little pink and brown ones so she's good for a while. Now of course after worrying about Anna not having any fall clothes when the weather was cool all last week and I didn't have 2 pennies to rub together... it's going to be nice and in the 80's all next week! LOL, go figure. If I hadn't bought anything we'd have a cold snap.

I just finished a layout for a challenge at Scrap Girls and thought I would share it here. It's of my dd when she was 2. She was the flower girl at my cousins wedding.

I used PSE3 and the following from Scrap Girls:

Well, I'm going to rest for a bit before I have to go get Miss Anna.
