Generosity Does Exist!

It was all set today! I would meet a lady by the name of Leslie at Wal-Mart to buy one of those Bumbo seats for Paetyn. She had it on Craigslist for $20 and I couldn't wait to get it! I'd been wanting one of them since I was pregnant! Well, I realized at around 1:00pm that my phone wasn't allowing phone calls. It was just being retarded! I emailed Leslie and asked here when she wanted to meet and exactly where... well after a few emails she said she would just bring the seat to my house. I informed my dad who was outside that she was coming over and he said he had the money on him so I wouldn't have to get any out of my wallet. About 10 minutes later he walks in holding the Purple Bumbo and says... "Hey!" I turn around, "She gave it to you!" My jaw dropped! "WHAT?!" he brings it over to me and I take it, GREAT condition... "Yeah, she wouldn't take the money! She just gave it to you!" I was shocked!! I immediantly turned around and emailed her, saying that I was going to pay for it and that she didn't have to just give it to me. She emailed me back and said "No, it's ok! I remembered you were a single mom. I know how hard it is being a mom with my husband around, I just wanted to give you a break!" My eyes welled up with tears. I couldn't believe this lady who I had never even met was being so nice. I mean yes, it's just a Bumbo chair, $20 dollars, but still, you just dont see people like that anymore! I am happy to say... Generosity still exists!! Glad to say Paetyn loves the Bumbo! She likes being able to look around! I am so thankful for you Leslie! I wish you could understand how much I appreciate this. Something so small to you I bet, but it's really big to me. Thank you!
As for the Journey... I don't think starting today is such a good idea. I have not in any way watched what I've eaten and I wouldn't be surprised if I gained 5lbs! When you have a toddler in the house, it's kind of hard to watch your food. I buy Pop-Tarts, sugary cereal, chocolate milk, all that yummy stuff for her and then it tortures me until I chow down on it too! I'm eating a Cinnomon and Brown Sugar Pop-Tart at this very moment. Hate to say it but it's VERY good! Plus, I'm going out for Pizza tomorow! Well, Me and my friend Jenn and her husband are taking the kids *She has a little boy, Ayden!* to Chuck E Cheese.
I can't wait!! Jenn has been there for me through this break up with Danny, through all my tears when the girls are tearing at me, and just a great friend. I don't know if I would be sane without her and my other bestie Maddie! They keep me calm!! I love you guys!!! Hope you two know that! Ya'll are two of the best friends a girl could ever have! I'm sorry for all the crap i've put you two through, all the downgrading myself, and all the frantic texts and IMs. Just know that I really appreciate everything the two of you have done for me!
I can't end a post without posting pictures of both my beauties so theres one of Laykin from today and heres one of the two of them together! They look so identical it's scary!
