All or nothing

That is how I like to things. I think it is part of my excessive personality. I am sure it is obvious given that I have posted over fifty times in one month, then two in another. I get way into things, then over it as quickly as I got into it.
Anyway, I am feeling better now. I have been thinking I haven't really felt "good" since the surgery. As soon as I was getting it all together I was pregnant, and sick. Now that has passed. I hope.
It is the end of the school year and LaRita is finishing 8th grade. They have a promotion ceremony and dinner dance. The other girls she hangs with are convinced this is the prom and for some reason their mother's got them the dresses. They even sent home a note saying this is not the prom. LaRita put up a fight, but we did get a dress that is adorable and appropriate for the occasion. She was mad I didn't let her wear a borrowed royal blue bridesmaid dress, that was entirely too big, and had deodorant stains. I am unreasonable, I know. Actually, after the hissy I told her to wear it. What do I care? She wouldn't though. We went shopping and actually did not kill each other. It is a summer miracle. On top of the dress I have to give her $50 for a six flags field trip and the dance tickets. The end of the year field trips cost me a fortune. Just let them out earlier instead of burning up the last two weeks with field trips, and play days. I know they are required to go so many hours, but it gets expensive.
I have lost a few more pounds since getting pregnant, but nothing I find too alarming. I am about 10 weeks from finding out the sex. I can't wait for that.
