Rachel has been battling severe allergy problems for a month now, Over the weekend her symptoms became worse, so today I took her to the doctor. She has a sinus infection, but thankfully it hasn't turned into bronchitis. I'm hoping all the medicine they put her on will begin to work quickly.

This evening Lindsay and I had to do some shopping for a wedding we are going to attend in June. We're trying to get all of the girls outfits together for the trip as they have all grown and nothing fits. We first went to Sam's to get Rachel's meds and we also picked up some micro-fiber cloths for cleaning and some food service towels for the kitchen. After that we went to eat at Johnny Corino's. If you love Italian food, it's great, and they give you so much. Lindsay and I split a combo platter with Lasagna, Spaghetti & Chicken Parmesan, each eating only half of what we had, and we will have the rest for lunch tomorrow. We then went to my favorite re-sale shop to look for clothes. Lindsay wears a size 0-2 and it's really hard to find clothes for her, but she was able to find a few shirts and a skirt, but nothing for the wedding.

Last week I took Hannah and Caroline to this store and found a few dresses, and today I found several more. Amazingly they were modest, and the most I paid for one was $6.50! Having the younger three so close in size is really a blessing when it comes to this type of shopping, because if it doesn't fit one, it'll probably fit another. The other day when we were buying shoes a saleslady brought me a certain shoe in a size 6 1/2, I tried it on one of the girls (don't ask me which one;-) and it didn't fit her, so I just got the next one closest to me and had her try it on. The saleslady giggled, and I explained to her that this is how we always do it. You should have seen me the day I had Hannah, Rachel & Caroline at the re-sale shop trying on pants. I had them in 3 different dressing rooms, and I would go from room to room trading out the pants until they found something that fit. I'm sure we are quite a comedic act to watch.

I also found some great books at the re-sale shop and a couple of tote bags. One of the tote bags was a tapestry horse print, which went to Hannah, and I found a red toile one for me. I also found Caroline a really nice apron.










After the resale shop we ran to Wal-Mart for a few thing and while there we found Lindsay a skirt for the wedding. We were pleasantly surprised to see that Wal-Mart was actually stocking size 0-2.

Well, that was my day today. I'm pleased that I was able to get a good deal accomplished in my shopping, even though I didn't get much done at home.
