Signs of Spring Break
You know it is Spring Break and the kiddies are out of school when the grocery bill at least doubles. The dirty laundry multiplies, as if it were mating overnight. This year's break is sprinkled with something new....prom dress shopping! Did that last Saturday and just a bit the Saturday before. I have already completed my preparations for supper, chopping, etc. so off we go again! The challenge: sifting through dresses that either cost too much and or were made for a stripper to zero in on a one that is certain color, certain neckline, certain material, certain backline........certain challenge! She doesn't want blue, black, red, white, plunging neckline, bare backed, netting which makes any "poofiness" to skirt, "does my stomach look big?" Wow, hon, looks like you swallowed a grape - maybe...........where's my magic wand? Wish I could twitch my nose like Samantha on "Bewitched"!

ReplyDeletehaha, Sorry Sweetie but it made me chuckle..I feel for you, teenage girls can be a nightmare, but what fun it is to share the time and the experience! I agree with Lisa too, prelim for wedding dresses...that is also a joy...whew!

this is hilarious. so glad i had boys, a new suit, a new tie and a haircut, they are ready for anything. do show us what you find in the end please. bet she will look like a dream.
ReplyDeleteLOLOLOL! I think our grocery bill has tripled this week. The price we pay for NOT going on vacation. We started our spring break off with both of our 16yr olds having wrecks in their cars! Thank God it was not their fault. Joy!
ReplyDeleteOH MY!! You are the third person to mention the prom since yesterday afternoon! I remember those days- the boys were def. easier than the girls -
ReplyDeleteGood luck!
Doesn't sound like much fun. But the bonding time is worth it. At least she still wants you involved in the shopping.
