Prom Dresses

Today was prom dress day. Mike and Michael had a advanced karate training on pressure points so Cindy and I packed up poor Robby and headed for the mall. Cindy had a dress in her head that she seen last year and wanted this year but nothing that we seen on the racks matched this image. I felt terrible for Robby as he has given up playing Game Boy for Lent so he had to just stand there bored. After seeing Cindy in dress after dress with a frown on her face, I spied a custom order binder on the near by counter at DEB. I picked it up and began to flip through. There it was, one page 12, the dress that got away last year . I showed her the picture and she agreed that that was the design. She immediately quit trying on the other dresses. As we waited in line, we discussed whether to order it in turquoise or fusha .When we got to the counter turquoise won out. We ordered it and within minutes were out of there. Next time I am going to look through the catalogs first !It all worked out though, Since Robby had been so good, we treated him to apple dippers on the drive home. Now it is almost dinner time and the men will be home shortly so I better figure out what to cook. Mom's work is never done but that is how it should be !
