But this week she condescended to cash in for a date with me. We went to see The Spiderwick Chronicles (really good, though possibly scary for nightmare-prone kids), shop for jeans without holes in the knees, and get some dinner.
Riding the escalator at the mall multiple times was a great highlight for Whitney.
Here is our self-portrait. Whitney has recently taken to wearing a bow in her hair. I told her I think she looks really cute with it like that and she said, "I know, that's why I want to wear it." Ha.
Last night while sitting at our RS book club I noticed that my neck was really hurting. I thought it was just my usual tense neck, but as the night went on it hurt enough that I knew it was more than that. I don't know what is going on (stress perhaps?) but it is still hurting 29 hours later. $%#@
Operation Cheer continues...
Tasha sent me me this cute card and a bunch of gold coins to help change my current luck. Thanks Tasha!!
Lara rendered me speechless today (that seems to be happening a lot lately) with this huge shipment of Operation Cheer goodies. I could not believe it. She sent two boxes of padded envelopes (different sizes) woohoo, an enormous bag of Cadbury eggs, Dove chocolate eggs, a journal and 2 sheets of stamps. Good heavens! Thanks Lara!!
Michelle sent me (which is guilt inducing to have her pay for shipping) this heavy envelope full of goodness. She got me new Jammie pants because she recently saw the very tattered pair I wear. She also sent gift bags, flower seeds, my favorite popcorn, a cd and some fabulous smelling Sweet Almond lotion and bath gel. Wow! Thanks Michelle!!

Operation Cheer is cheering me from afar...so much love coming your way! And it's very necessary going on 29 hours of neck pain...yikes. I'm hoping you get a good massage from Randy tonight??!
Good to see more cheer is heading your way!!I think it is funny that Michelle mailed your package!
Did you find any jeans for Whitney. I think her bow is cute too!!
Parent dates sound so awesome- something to look forward too! Whitney does look super cute with that bow.
Bummer about the neck pain. I get that every now and then and it is usually from sleeping weird. Hope it recedes soon.
It's so cool that the cheer is still headed your way.
I'm glad that Whitney condescended to go on a date with you -- Marc and the boys saw that movie and they liked it a lot. (Remember when Lucas was too scared to see movies -- any movie?)
She does look so cute with the bow in her hair. It reminds me of a Dr. Seuss character, and that is definitely a good thing in my book!
Remember once when I had bad neck pain and couldn't turn my head? I ended up going to a chiropractor for the first time, and it was much much better afterwards. Something to think about if it doesn't get better soon.
Hooray for those two big boxes of padded envelopes!
What a fun Mom & Daughter date. The SP of you together is very pretty. Escalators are always a hit, aren't they?
Enjoy your bountiful boxes and care packages of love and cheer--you deserve it!!
The boxes of padded envelopes are wonderful! And I love that Michelle mailed your package--she obviously knows how exciting it is to get a package in the mail :)
#1 time is our term for kid/parent dates and our children love them plus they make me feel like such a great mom. It looks like you and Whitney had a great time.
Hope your neck gets better soon!
Whitney is so darn cute! I'm glad that the two of you got to go on a date, and I am loving the marble idea.
Neck pain is awful! A lot of my migraines stem from neck pain. Motrin and a good heating pad seem to help me, also my memory foam pillow has been great. I hope you're feeling better.
We do kid/parent dates too. Our girls love them! We haven't really started it with Jared yet, since he gets so much of our attention anyway right now. :)
Do you have a chiropracter? That always works wonders for me when I've got neck or back pain!
Wow,wow, wow on the packages coming in! You are definitely loved!
Did you get Whitney the much-needed jeans with no holes in the knee?????
Ouch to your neck. That must be so irritating. Can you sleep okay with it?
All that Good Mail is brilliant. I love that so much of it is just practical, like the envelopes and stamps. I told my husband all about Operation Cheer this evening and he was VERY impressed with all the ladies' thoughtfulness and fellowship.
Pop Secret Homestyle is my favorite, too! I refuse to eat any other. That's hilarious--I thought I was the only retentively picky-popcorn-eater.
Operation Cheer is so fun! I'm having fun just vicariously watching you receive all that happy mail. Look how many people just love you, Jill. That is what it's all about :)
that is my favorite popcorn too.. homestyle.. love it.. hate it when target is out of it!
fun to have a date with your daughter, my girls would be all over that!
glad you got some jeans that work! love the bow in the hair!
I think parent dates is such a great idea!
Sorry about your neck pain- it's not a clot, right?!! I am feeling slightly paranoid after what happened to Amie's friend. SO crazy, sad!
Feel Better!!
Love Whitney's comment about the bow! Why can't I have that much confidence?
Operation Cheer is cheering me up too. I love it.
Neck pain is one of the things that does me in! I hate it. I hope it goes away soon.
I'm loving all the good mail posts.
Whitney looks super cute with the bow!
Sorry to hear about the pain.
Wow, Jill, you're getting spoiled! Lucky you. I hope the operation is successful and a cheerful prognosis is imminent.
I think it's great you and whitney had a mom date together. I think I need to do this with each of my girls. It's rare that I'm ever alone with just one.
Sorry about your neck pain.
Looks like your completely set to send cheer of your own.
i always have a hard time remembering whether or not i sent a thank you note! so glad to hear i'm not the only one! i guess if in doubt, send it again, no harm in saying thank you twice! :)
