dress shopping

As I posted yesterday I was extremely tired and crabby. I left work early at about 2:30 and went home. Marco was home and he always has something to say. Marco has a very outgoing and sometimes obnoxious personality but I love it most of the time. He is just so full of life and love! Kinda like me LOL. Anyway he says mom (girls name) might get kicked of the cheer team. I said why? He said she was caught drinking. I said wow. I had to pick Sarah up from cheer at 4:30. We go and get her and I ask her is someone getting kicked off the cheer team? Her response yes mom 5 girls might be getting kicked off. I said please explain to me why. Then it started with these girls pulled the I'm staying the night as so and so's house and they head out for an adventure. They stayed at some guy's house and he had a party. I was shocked! I mean these girls are 14 and 15. So they got drunk and some sexual things went on. I WAS MORTIFIED!!!! One of these girls used to hang out with Sarah 2 summers ago and I was not happy about that then and I am so glad Sarah decided to not hang out with her anymore. I could sense she was trouble. So the conversation then turned into a lecture on how you should never do that and how Sarah would get caught doing something like that because I am always in her business. It just amazes me and I know you hear this stuff all the time. Just how times have changed since I was a teenager. I have always told my kids I don't ever for one second think they are never gonna come home drunk under age because I understand this stuff happens. I just always tell them do not drink and drive or get in the car with someone drinking and driving. Just call me no matter what time it is and I will come and get you. I also tell them don't mistake that as I giving you permission to go out and drink because that is not the case. I am just simply saying sometimes things happen and I was young once too.

We then headed to the mall for a dress for snowcoming. She want a strapless dress. I said oh no you are not getting a strapless dress. That started the whining and making faces at me like I was an alien. I kept pointed out beautiful dresses that were not strapless and finally she agreed to try it on. She liked it although not as much as her homecoming dress but like I explained to her this is not homecoming. LOL She is also going with her boyfriend to this dance. So we headed over to the shoe department and she immediately fell in love with these silver shoes that I swear have 4" heels on them. She tried them on and they look very adult but cute and matched the dress perfectly. OMG she wears a size 6 she has the smallest feet that she sure did not get from me as I am a size 8 1/2 and have fat feet LOL. So we bought them and the dress and were walking out of the store. She then said mom I need a shawl too and of course she got one. She was very excited about the shoes and shawl and was just ok with the dress LOL. I will post pictures after the weekend. They are taking a limo to this dance because all of us parents do not feel like carting them around all over in 4 seperate cars like we did for homecoming. We are doing a potluck dinner at one of the girl's house and the limo will pick them up from there at 6:00. It will be fun.

Dom is also going to the dance with a group of friends. We got a good deal on the limo so I offered him the same with his friends. He is so different than the twins. He does not like to be the center of attention or any special attention paid to him. He did not want it. I said Dom are you sure it will make it easier for you and your friends. No he did not want it. Such a great kid! He likes to shop at Wal Mart for his clothes and the twins like all name brand things. So funny! He is so humble. He does not even want a graduation party. I said Dom you will get money from everyone and that made it ok for me to have a party.

I need to get to work since I am leaving early again today. I am meeting my girlfriend for a pedicure and manicure. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE PEDICURES so I cannot wait to go.

Have a great day everyone!
