Hi! I had to read on web view again. Super annoying.
We finished up school quickly this am and have been outside all day. I put out one of last summer’s dresses for Josie this morning and it looks like a cheerleading uniform on her— so short. She’s totally in between sizes. She needs the length of something a tiny bit shorter than a 7/8, the waist of 5/6.
I placed 4 orders today in the hopes of something sticking (old navy, lands end, Amazon’s spotted zebra and h&m)

Maybe try the target maxi dresses.

I'm so annoyed. I got a ton of work done today despite constant interruptions from my family. I was about done and ready to enjoy the long weekend when I got an email regarding my security clearance application. I have to respond in 7 days, of course it's a holiday weekend so people won't be in office, and what I needed to do was very vague and unclear but apparently there about 40 items I need to respond to. Grr. So I won't have a full break tomorrow.

That’s super annoying.

I’m sorry joelies. I hope you’re able to go down and visit him.

I overdid it with the cleaning today. My pelvis/Ute are not happy with me. I plan to be super lazy tomorrow so it should calm down again. Tonight was busy at work and I ended up staying an hour past my usual time because my coworker and I were talking to the security supervisor about the new check in/out badge system we are using for visitors. It’s so fun when things are implemented half ass and last minute.

I'm really sorry joelies. I hope your brother can give you more information on what's going on.

[nam2013]

joelies im so sorry, hope your able to visit him soon.

[joelies]

Thanks all. I'm feeling guilty because I'm just not willing to put the kids on a plane right now. EVERYTHING goes in Chase's mouth and Colin touches everything and HIS hands are constantly in his face. I also have no faith in them keeping their masks on. But I feel awful for my Dad about it.

[nam2013]

joelies don’t feel guilty about not being willing to fly with your kids. I’m sure many of us aren’t at this point. Big hugs.

[mwhip]

joelies sorry about your dad. I wouldnt feel comfortable flying with kids yet. You have to keep your boys safe. I hope your brother can get you better information.

[chrisy01]

[mention]joelies [/mention] big hugs and don’t feel guilty. I hope you get some information soon and go with your gut on what’s right for you and your family. It’s a tough situation to be dealing with in this crazy time and you’re doing great.

[jewels]

joelies I’m sorry this is going on now. I, too, would not feel comfortable flying w the kids now (honestly I probably wouldn’t feel
Comfortable myself either)

[guster]

I’m so sorry, joelies. Big hugs!

[tgrimes]

joelies I'm so sorry. When do you think your brother will be able to talk to the doctor?

I don’t want long. Just the simple short tank dresses. I ordered each dress in a 6 and 7/8 although I’m sure the 7/8 will swim on her. One brand is sure to stick, and if not there are always separates!

Gotcha. I was just suggesting to get the smaller size in the target maxis, they may fit better than some of the others. On H they go to mid calf.

guster have you tried h&m? I like their little dresses and Cadence thinks they are super comfortable.

I ordered from there yesterday! The last time I shopped there for Josie she was in 18-24 months so it’s been a while.

I just got the most adorable little floral dress for dd there!

[slenle]

I second h&m dresses. N loves them. I haven’t gotten any recently, but i did just get an order in yesterday from h&m for N- super cute shorts and tanks, and a romper. And super cheap!

[tgrimes]

I finally had to go up in sizes for M's tank dresses at H&M. the 4-6yo still fit but were too short. I think I bought her 6 of them a couple months ago. So cute and they last a long time.

This (and slenle’s post) gives me hope. I bought the 6-8 and am hopeful. It wouldn’t be nearly as stressful or annoying if I could just go to the store and have her try them on.

I’m so sorry @joeloes.

[wineallthetime]

joelies, I'm just catching up. I'm so sorry to hear about your dad. Sending love.
