Shopping with GG... Oy Vay!

Just for the record... I despise shopping. Wholeheartedly, undeniably, hate it, loath it with every. fiber. of. my. being. And my daughter loves it. *sob*

For some reason, whenever GG needs to go shopping for "just a few things" it always turns into a full day, half the night and several hundred dollars worth of merchandise. By the time I drag myself into the house, I'm tired, sore, and broke again. But, this is her Senior year and my husband and I knew it would be expensive, sooo...

So far, I've purchased the requisite Homecoming dress, shoes and hairdo. Then there was the Senior cruise to Cozumel... that I was told I couldn't go under any circumstances that they had enough chaperons and all the required cruise clothes and shoes.

Then this past weekend we made a flying trip to the mall for a Prom dress. Thank you sweet baby Jesus we had already purchased shoes! She had found the dress online at Dillards, so we went and picked it up... after trying it on, along with fifty bajillion six other dresses. We left at 4 pm and got home that night at 11 pm. Now we just have to get jewelry and hair done... and a date. She STILL doesn't have a date!

It will take me half the year to pay off my poor credit cards. Poor, poor things.

Ack! Update: she now has a date! Yay, maybe now peace will reign in my house again... Until the next shopping expedition anyway. *sigh*
