I'm Out Early

Hi everyone. This week and month have been crazy around here. I won't bore you with all the details, but I am taking a few days off......just from blogging; Motherhood never rests. Apparently there is a certain 8th grade girl.....whom I love more than the entire world....and she is graduating!

I don't remember my 8th grade graduation taking over the entire family....boy have things changed for today's teen. The graduation has not been our major focus....it has been the 8th grade formal dance. Yes, formal....as in a ridicules amount of money (for the second time) on a dress and shoes that will never fit or be appropriate again. There was a formal holiday dance last December. My daughter has grown a couple of inches taller and one shoe size since then. 

I won't complain any more because she is totally worth all the effort. I just wish it was casual attire

I will be back on Monday with my first Lowe's Garden Challenge. Before I go, let me ask you this...how many trips does it take to find the perfect dress? Tell me your shopping stories, it will make me feel better about mine.
