Because I was very near comatose. I was so exhausted after 2 nights of waking up at 3am for the day that I fell asleep last night the minute we walked in the door from church. I literally walked to the bedroom, changed clothes, and crawled in bed. It was 8:30pm. So sad. I was so tired I actually felt kind of sick.
But, after 9 hours of sleep---I am a new woman!
Good thing too because this house is falling down around my ears. It's picked up. At least we've kept up with that end. But we have NO groceries, precious few clean clothes, and it's getting old. Today: must actually switch the laundry and get it all the way clean and dry and delivered and must procure food for my family. You know, the basics?
But I have another reason I am glad I slept. Sweetheart and I have a shopping date today. Girlfriend has outgrown just about everything but specifically she needs dresses to wear to church. I've been looking up size charts for various stores and she's all over the place. Best I can tell, it's going to be a toss up between sizes 14-18 in the girls' department and sizes 0-1 in the juniors department. There's really no way to know until we try stuff on.
My main concern is finding dresses that are an appropriate length. Can I get an Amen? Sigh. My other concern is not spending an arm and a leg. The plan is to start at Goodwill and work our way up (Wal-Mart, Old Navy, Kohl's...). We'll see what we can find for cheap and then move on if we have to.
Oh yeah, and we have some school to do too. But I think food and clothing is more important today.

girl, you should see the bags of clothes i took out of the girls' rooms. growth, while necessary & kleenex inducing, is not budget friendly - for sure. we always start at the thrift stores, too. love them! i'd pass along our things, but i have a feeling our girlies are close in size. ;)
ReplyDeleteYeah..I think they would be about the same. We did pretty well at Goodwill!
