Relax

I took Mindy shopping today for a dress. She’s to be the maid of honor in her cousin Jessie Lynn’s wedding in TWO WEEKS. Jessie Lynn wants Mindy to wear a full-length, gunmetal grey dress. We went to 20 stores at the mall tonight and found 1, at a cost of $200 at Macy’s. It’s so not flying.
Mindy was freaking because her dad (Rob’s bro CJ) got caught drinking and will go to jail for 30 days, beginning next Tuesday. Mindy was freaking because as she said, “My parents are so stupid they haven’t ever been able to take care of me like you and Uncle Rob.”
That’s truth, but it tore my heart out all the same.
And then Rob found the checklist for our Foster Parenting license… and there is some question of whether our septic system is adequate.
I’m still worried about my beloved Dotty and her ordeal (last post) from this past weekend.
On the bright side….
- I got a dress for myself for Jessie Lynn’s wedding.
- I got a cute girlie polo shirt, too.
- We had Auntie Anne’s pretzels for dessert. Almond with caramel sauce.
- Rob is an amazing husband.
- I am going to go play piano and watch Dancing with the Stars.
Night!!
Ok.. well dancing with the stars is over, lol cause I just watched it
and now I must ask.. what on earth is a “gunmetal” dress?
I tivo’d DWTS - i need to go watch it! I am glad your day was a lil better- retail therapy!
gun·met·al –noun
1. any of various alloys or metallic substances with a dark gray or blackish color or finish, used for chains, belt buckles, etc.
2. Also called gunmetal gray. a dark gray with bluish or purplish tinge.
Darn.. I wish you lived closer.. I HAVE one of those and it’s BEAUTIFUL! poop
Mindy is blessed to have you and Rob to look out for her. There are so many in similar situations that have no one. That dessert pretzel sounds good. I’ve never tried any pretzels from Aunt Annie’s, but now you have me considering it.
Dress shopping is fun! Even if you don’t find anything.
Sorry you’re having a snag or two in the licensing process. It’s all in God’s timing. Hang in there!
God bless
There seems to always be good and bad in our days, I’m glad you are enjoying the good parts and are able to endure the rest. ec
piano, good
dancing with the stars, not so good
I love dancing with the stars. I don’t get to watch that often though. Only when the kids have already gone to bed. $200 dress. Yeah, I’d keep shopping.
I have one too but I think that it would not fit Mindy…… I wish you luck!!!
