First up, what we did instead of shopping…
Audrey and I went to Saturday at the Nasher with our friends Tiffany (mine) and Joshua (hers), and (I hate to admit this) it was so much more fun without the babies along. With just the big kids in tow, we sat through an hour long story/performance, took our time eating lunch and assembling a craft and managed to also fit in a quick visit to the Crow Collection of Asian Art...So I'm one month into the hiatus, and friends I have to say, this week was (unfortunately) very, very challenging. We had to go to the dancewear store to get Audrey some ballet slippers and tights, as she’s just started taking lessons, and I drooled excessively over a new pair of yoga pants and one of those flimsy, gauzy ballet wrap sweaters.
Then later at Target, I literally put three different pairs of sandals in my cart…of course I eventually took them all out, but boy was it hard. Finally there was a chunky felt bead necklace at the museum gift store that I wanted to hang in Millie’s room -- all multi-colored and groovy and fun and only $9.00, but I decided I’d wait and make it a gift for her Easter basket post-hiatus. I think I wanted that the most.
Oh and our support group now boasts 53 participants... How are you all doing?
