May 23rd

Haven't posted in a few days. I've had a headache for the last 2 days (it sucked)

Saturday we went to Walmart and Hobby Lobby. I got some clips for my crochet flowers, and a couple skeins of yarn. The clips were 50% off so I bought a bunch. After we left town we went to the Delphi Fish Fry at the canal center. We didn't eat there, but it was decent. After Vallerie was in bed I crocheted some more flowers. I also made 3 shark can cozies. I made one for Eddie, one for my sister, and one for a gal at work who gave me the idea. They turned out great.

Sunday Vallerie and I went into town and got her some summer clothes at Once Upon a Child. I got probably 10 shirts, 3 shorts, and a pair of capri's for $30. I had $25 left on my gift card, so I only spent about $5 "real" money. I realized something while I was there. They had no jean shorts, and a limited amount of T-shirts. It would be smart if I bought her summer clothes in the winter, and her winter clothes in the summer. I don't know why I didn't think of that before. So, next time she needs clothes I will go in the off season so there is more to choose from.

After we got home we went on a walk around the canal. Vallerie had a lot of fun running down the trails. She didn't want to turn around, so I picked her up and spun her around, then set her down on the path towards home. After we were done, Vallerie let me crochet flowers while she was playing in the living room. I had to give her an extra skein of yarn to play with, but for the most part she left me alone enough for me to make stuff.

Monday I stayed home from work with a migraine. Eddie let me sleep it off most of the day. After I was feeling better I crotcheted some flowers. Then after Vallerie was in bed I went upstairs and started putting my clips together.

Tuesday I wasn't feeling much better so I stayed home again. Eddie let me sleep again. (He's so sweet) I made some more flowers. Then after Vallerie was in bed I made them all into clips. I think I have around 50 clips made. I am going to save some for Vallerie, then take some into work to show some of the girls. They were interested in seeing them, and might want some for the little girls in their lives. After they get what they want, I will start making sets to send to my mom.

I am back at work today. (Miss being home though) I have a couple meetings, and then I am calling customers for refunds and helping the mail room. It should be a nice day. Since I'll be busy it should go by fast. (I hope)

An update on Vallerie: Besides talking, she has now been trying to jump. It's so cute. She doesn't get much air, but she'll just jump and jump. Then she'll spin in circles and lay on the ground. She's so weird. She likes the word "purple", and "stop it". Eddie was throwing my crochet flowers at her, and she kept saying "stop it". Eddie and I thought it was funny. Then yesterday we asked her to go night night. She crawled into our bed and covered up. Then she pretended to snore. I told her she couldn't fake snore with her eyes open. I told her to close her eyes, and she would squeeze them shut for about 2 seconds. She's so cute. She's such a little person!
