Calm before the Storm

Well, Dan took Marain out to the movies. She loves her Daddy-Daughter dates. And its funny how things are so quiet when she is out of the mix. Of course, Callie is out at the park playing with another little girl who's mom probably thinks I suck because I'm not out there too. Joshua is watching cartoons and Delaney is happy trying to steal his trains.

However, Callie is tired and cranky and all 3 girls have runny noses. Delaney is already on her way to full-blown sick. She was warm when we got back from Walmart today (fell asleep in the cart, so cute!) and she was pretty toasty when she woke up from her nap. She has been having trouble sleeping the last 2 nights and I was hoping it was just her tooth coming in. Her 4th top tooth finally popped through, a full month after the first 3 up there appeared!

I have a bit of quiet time before Callie comes bursting through the door needing something, or Joshua decides he needs a snack, or Delaney wants to be cuddled. I could be doing something productive with this time, say folding the laundry or emptying the dishes that have been in the dishwasher for 3 days now!

But here is my delimma for the day. the Marine Corps Ball is in 2 weeks for us. I have a dress that may be suitable, but do I want to wear it? Its only knee length, and I feel like it should be longer. It is nice and modest and it looks pretty good, but it is pretty plain. If it were black, it would be a perfect little black dress, but it is maroon.... burgandy sounds better. Anyway, I can't decide if I should stress about finding something better or not. Of course, I have no shoes. I use to have a million shoes, lots of really cute shoes. I know, Sharon, yu do not believe me. I got rid of them all after Marian was born! When would I want to wear heels again!?! I'm thinking I'll ask the YW if any of them wear a 7 1/2 or 8. they all have cute shoes that are in style!

Well, I'm off to poke my head out and see what Callie is up to!
