When it rains, it pours! (otherwise know as Murphy's Law)
Last night, I started feeling like I was coming down with a cold, so I took some Airborne right away. I have taken it twice since then, and it doesn't seem to be helping. The kids were both up in the middle of the night last night, too. I think Wonder Teen is coming down with the same things that I am- he's not feeling well, either. Now Princess Stomping Foot doesn't feel good, either. This is *so* not the week to get sick.

Last night, I went out to get cotton balls and stopped at Ross. Our local Ross (they are in the process of building a second one- Yay!) is usually a mad house and a big mess, but they do get in some good brands. I tried on a lot of things, including dresses from New York & Co, Calvin Klein and Evan Picone. The New York & Co and Calvin Klein dresses were size 14's, and they were too big on me. That seems crazy. I ended up buying a cute little summer dress in a giraffe print- and that is a size 12. Maybe I am just in denial, and my "dress size" is really a 12 now. When I showed The Rusty Knight the size tag, he said "Size 12? I didn't marry a size 12!". He's right- I don't think that I was a size 12 when we got married- I was bigger than that (and size 12 was smaller then, anyway- thanks to Vanity Sizing). I told him that he wouldn't end up with a size 12, anyway- I still have a long way to go.
