Hardy Party of 4

It finally cooled off down here in Texas. I know, it's October and I shouldn't be surprised. But, it was still 105 degrees a few days last week, so I wasn't prepared for the cooler temps we are having this week. By unprepared, I mean my kids haven't been fitted in pants for the new year. I've been waiting until I absolutely have to buy pants. It's not that I'm cheap, but because my kids' legs grow longer every night. If I had bought pants when school started, I'm certain they would be too short by Thanksgiving.

No matter what the reason, my procrastination led me to a quick trip to Marshall's Sunday night. Not one of the three of us were interested in shopping, but the weather forced my hand. Unfortunately, that meant I wasn't mentally prepared for the challenge of battling Abigail's "new style".  We got in and out with little arguing, but in retrospect, I probably should have put up more of an argument instead of just pulling out my debit card.


My daughter went to bed a 7-year-old last night, but this 17-year-old is who I dropped off at school today. Aagh!!!
