Happy St. Patty's Day!
I don't celebrate it, go out and have a green beer or green shake or anything like that, but I do put my kids in green just so they don't get pinched and picked on. Isn't that a stupid reason to put your kid in a certain color, just so they don't get picked on?
Today was "kids day out" at the Y. You drop your kids off at the Y at 12 noon and pick them up at 5 p.m. They do crafts, play outside, play with other friends, watch shows and color. That gives the kids a chance to be away from the parents for a while and have a little fun themselves. It also gives the parents, in this case ME, a chance to catch up on errands, go shopping and just get a little time for my self. The hubby was grading at UNL for a math championship, but he met me for lunch about 1 p.m. We ate lunch and he went on home to relax. I went shopping and got some super cute Summer dresses.
I am not a dress person, but I thought I would give it a try. I see all these women that wear casual dresses out to shop in or just see them around town and I think it looks really cute. I got done shopping about 3 p.m. Twelve to five is a long time! You don't realize it until 3 o'clock comes around and you are ready to go pick up your kids. Anyway, I came home about 3 and changed into one of my dresses. It was pretty warm today, so I thought it fit the weather ;) It was 83 degrees today.
After I put the dress on, I was thinking, how do they do it? How do you take care of 3 kids in a dress (short dress, that is)? I was picturing my self picking up the kids and having to put Taygen's shoes on or bending over and picking up Taygen. How am I not going to show anything when I bend over? This is going to be tough. Luckily, all the kids had their shoes on when I got their and didn't have to bend over that far to pick Taygen up. The only thing I had to worry about was the wind :0
