What was I thinking? this ain't no vacation!

[Scooter's Mom]

We stopped at Goodwill along the way home and got Cameron a whole new summer wardrobe for $20. Of course his mommy was none too impressed because they are from Goodwill and told us we could keep the clothes here

Good job on the bargain hunting! Too bad Cameron's mother doesn't appreciate the value of a $$.

She never will appreciate anything I do. She made a snide comment and I just walked out of the room. I don't have to take her misdirected furstration any more, so I won't. I simply walk away and keep my mouth shut. She did the same thing back in the fall when we got him clothes. Snippy comment and then all the clothes disappeared a few weeks later once she realized they were nice clothes (Children's Place, Ralph Lauren, in addition to the expensive licensed tees he wants). So what if another little boy wore them before? At this age, they outgrow the clothes before they look worn. We got a Spiderman tee that I swear was never worn and a Pokemon tee that Cameron is super excited about - I have the feeling will never come off once I wash it for him

Hubby and I just laughed about the reaction. We don't waste time worrying about her because she will eventually realize the clothes are nice and that she wants them. It is what it is. And Cameron is happy and healthy so there's nothing we can do but love him and help when we can.

As for my vacation, I decided to take tonight off. Well, off from painting. I'm reorganizing my craft supplies, which is a project in and of itself. I bought new bead organziers tonight and keep spilling little beads all over the place. Of course the cats are being VERY helpful
