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
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
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*
I love your blog as I can really identify with it as a parent of teenagers. My daughter has her prom at the end of June so I'm going through the whole dress, hair, make-up, shoes, handbag thing too at the moment. We didn't used to have proms in the UK but I think we picked up the idea from the US, so thanks for that. lol
ReplyDeleteThank you! I FINALLY got signed back in, after being forced to set up a Google calendar at work. It created a conflict, it was showing TWO different accounts and would not let me access my blog. I used very creative and "ugly" language for about a month or so, until I finally caved and set up another email account.
ReplyDeleteI hope your daughter has a wonderful time at her prom! Good luck shopping and wear flats. *hint hint*
Sounds positively exhausting! Hope your daughter has a lovely time :)
ReplyDeleteOh, and I hate shopping too!
