what a day...

I'm literally whipped! I went to church this morning which was cool. Had my little neice with me which is the first time I've ever had her since she was born without her mother standing over me constantly accusing me of 'doing something' to her... It was quite refreshing! After church I went to the mall with Ty, Jay, Zoey and Ty's girlfriend, Leigha.

I got Zoey's ears pierced, and got the kids a couple of pairs of shorts for the summer. Ty is down to a size 34, and Jay is UP to a size 30... it's crazy. Also too funny their different styles. Jay wants nothing but baggie saggy clothes, and Ty? The tighter the better. Well at least for shirts - he's a total skater boy. It's very funny to see their different styles.

In 2 weeks I am taking Tyler as my date to a wedding, and the boy has 'misplaced' almost all of his dress clothes (not that he had THAT many of them) and so I had to get him a nice pair of dress slacks, a shirt and tie. Now we just need to get dress shoes. It wasn't cheap - the whole bit cost me about $108 (With a $25 coupon) but boy oh boy does he look SHARP in it. I can't wait to see him ready for the wedding - he's going to be FABULOUS.

I'm feeling better than yesterday - for those of you that were so thoughtful and emailed/commented me. Honestly - I'm not PMSing - I KNOW what happened yesterday was a slight, and it really just brought what I thought I'd been observing for a while now to a head. Basically I offered a bunch of my girlfriends a chance to get together while the "guys' in our group went out for a 'christian bachelor' party. I waited (The guy party started at 6) and by 6 not ONE of the girls called to say anything. At 6:45 one of the girls called and was very non-chalant about how they were just going to 'grab something to eat' out where they were and wait for the guys to be done. I had invited them over at 6. Not only did they blow me off... but they didn't invite me to join them. She actually said "have a good night!" And it's like she didn't HAVE to invite me to join them for dinner, and since I'd already had lunch out earlier... I probably wouldn't have joined them anyway so I really probably shouldn't even be sad about it - but I know I'm being pushed out, and I KNOW it's because I am not dating one of the guys in the group. And it's like I'm a social reject just because I'm not coupled up. It SUCKS.

On the other hand... the guys who are married, and/or getting married... dont' stop hanging out with the single guys in our group! This is something the women are doing... and I don't understand it. And I miss my friends... Although admittedly - I was more friends with the guys than the girls, so maybe the girls just don't want me around anymore because I am single? Please... I'm no 'threat' to anyone! I don't know...but I do know it's not hormones, nor am I imagining it!

ok now I'm sounding like I'm all worked up, trust me I'm not. Just tired. After spending hours upon hours walking around the mall - I came home and .... did yard work. What was I thinking?
So much for resting on the 7th day! LOL

Needless to say I'm pretty beat. I'm wanting to watch Oprah's big give with the boys... but Ty is not wanting to... sooo I'm making him! I know I'm such a mean mom!
Anyway - keep posted, got lots of pics of my neice and her new earrings I'll be adding in the next couple days!

Have a great nite!
