Soccer games, basketball game, D17 drama re: $475 prom dress she thinks she's entitled to, dinner w/H and kids @ Friday's (H's favorite, let H pick where to go...), then home to color eggs. The kids had been dying to see him since we were gone all week, and bugged him to play video games afterwards, so he did, and said he'd stay up to make sure D17 got home on time if I wanted to sleep (must have looked tired!).
Is it me, or is $475 for a PROM dress ridiculous? Her argument is that she's going to THREE prom's. (Did I ask her to go to 3 proms?!) Her argument is that she didn't go to winter formal, so I didn't have to buy her a dress. My argument is, you want Juicy sweats, Rock N Republic jeans, Ugg boots, etc... What is left to want after a freaking $475 prom dress? UGH! And, last time I checked, that's more than my wedding dress cost! Lastly, if she didn't procrastinate on the prom dress shopping, she wouldn't be limited to TWO choices in a city of 500,000+ people, and would have PLENTY of stores to choose from! God, give me strength. The power of teenage daughter drama could cause ulcers! (She was literally stomping her feet! LOL) If not for that reason only, I am NOT buying that damn dress!
OK, done.

The average woman would rather have beauty than brains, because the average man can see better than he can think.
