Girls finally in the bed... another exciting weekend. Actually, despite the constant arguing and bickering, it was rather refreshing to spend the weekend with them ... Dad has been clocking in for a while on the weekend thing. Lucky me.

Bought Jordin her new dance shoes on Saturday... involved MUCH bitching and moaning from me (though silently, of course) regarding purchasing a pair of Jazz shoes she can only wear for two or three months at the most before it's time for a new $48 pair of ugly tan leather booties. However, upon arriving at the dance apparel shop, Jordin spotted a teenage girl buying her first set of pointe shoes.... she was completely enchanted, making all of my $48 worthwhile.... well, at least it was a temporary bandaid. We also left with new $18 tights.

Drank margaritas with my friend Tina on Saturday night at Longhorn's.... ran over to Target to dash in and check out the blue jeans (on sale, thanks Katie Fleck... ) and picked up Jordin two new pairs of jeans and a clearance pair of pink T-strap shoes. ... hey, at $4.98 - I'll buy her anything. The pants, alas -are too big (@#@@#*&!), but the shoes are perfect.

Tomorrow - the girls are out of school - Jordin has a rehersal for her dance recital from 10-12 - Sarah Beth has $10.00 burning a fire the size of Texas in her pocket - and I want to go to the fabric store... of course, there is a church ministry meeting at seven - so, we'll see how much actually happens. Gotta return the too big pants - and of course the damn sale is over.

Drat.
