That's how today felt. I did get to sleep in until 8:30...that was nice!
I went and had a facial this morning - it was wonderful, thank you. I've already made my next appointment too. Then I had to hurry over to the high school and pick up Nicole - as well as pay for August's school lunches. She skipped school this afternoon to go to a dress shop. You can tell we're panicking a bit.
Good news though! The dress has been found. One dressmaker had quoted us $1000 to make this beautiful thing that we could have ordered and had shipped to us for $300. Ahhhh! The dress shop lady today will make a very similar dress for Nicole for $350. Sold! Painful amount actually but much better than $1000!
Then we bought two birthday gifts, one for Lilian and one for a friend of Jake's. We dropped off Nicole's invitations to be printed - begged for them to be ready on Monday. :-) Begging works. John stopped at a tailor's to shorten the arms of a dress jacket he bought a year ago. And...we had lunch.
Picked up Jake and Lisette at the end of school, after dropping off paperwork we need the school to fill out. Hurried home, Jake changed, Lisette changed and we all headed to the place of Jake's birthday party then dropped Lisette back off at school so she could drive with a friend to another birthday party.
Now it's almost time to go pick up Jake. Later it will be Lisette but we've had a few hours to catch our collective breaths.
