Walker's Wardrobe

I'm afraid I've created a monster.

Walker has become so picky about his attire these days. This weekend we had an engagement party to attend and children were invited. Walker had already decided in his head he was going to wear his khaki shorts and plaid long-sleeve shirt. Both of which were dirty because he'd just worn them a few days before.

It was a melt-down of all melt-downs because I made him wear a navy t-shirt with plaid shorts. You would have thought it was the end of the world. There were tears upon tears and pouting and more tears...Then I refused to allow him to wear his flat hat and sunglasses (my mother-in-law would have died) and that produced another round of tears.

I said, "Walker, a seven-year-old shouldn't care this much about what he's wearing."

He said, "But I do care what I'm wearing mom."

Honestly, I was secretly giddy inside, but he's gotta learn to fall in love with another outfit to have a back-up if he's going to be this picky. 

He's also picked up a trend from the older boys at school - tall, black socks. And I'm hoping this trend will pass. Evidently these are referred to as "bro socks" and they absolutely have to be Nike brand - the Target brand will not do - and he wears them with his red Vans. I seriously thought I'd raise a child with a bit more of a preppy style. I'm hoping this is just a phase.

Happy Pills

I'm a crazy person. At least, that's what I feel like some times. And it runs in my family. No, not really crazy (and don't take offense if you are one of me), but just clinically depressed and filled with anxiety. It's as if I don't have something to worry about in my head constantly, then I don't feel normal. Luckily, there's a pill for that. It's a bitter pill, one that I'll basically have to take the rest of my life, but I've slowly accepted that it's like any other disease, and just like diabetes or heart disease, that little pill is gonna make me better. But that little pill makes me gain weight, gives me the brain shivers when I miss it, and although I've tried to get off it multiple times, I just can't. So I guess that makes me an addict as well. But it's a pill that my grandparents and family didn't always have, and they suffer from it as well, so I should be thankful for this little red capsule of happiness...
