Amazon Jcpenny Lulus online I was going to suggest Lulus originally, but since the plan is to return most if not all if she decides not to go, they don't have a great return window and charge a restocking fee. So I'd stick with Amazon, there should be plenty of options there. Is homecoming short dresses or long dresses for your area? I'm 5' and had good luck with Amazon dresses (but not smaller than 0, but my 13 year old DD is and can wear most women's xs or xxs things we've ordered from there as long as it's not long dresses/skirts). The girls typically wear short dresses, which makes it easier. She just has a really small frame and always has issues with straps being too long. I usually do, too and it is so annoying. I almost always need formal dresses altered unless I can find something in petite sizing. But we will try Amazon. Good to know about Lulu’s return policy! |

Where is a good place to order Homecoming dresses? My DD is a freshman and says she is probably not going to the dance. But I know most freshman typically go with a group of friends and I can see her deciding that week she wants to go. So I’m thinking of ordering a few that can be returned. She is small; right at 5 ft. and not even a size 0. Trying to find her a dress for NJHS induction last year was a shitshow, so I’m trying to get started on this early. Macy's Amazon |

I've got a half day of work before both my kids are home for 5 days. I'm also trying to squeeze in play dates and hanging out with various families before school starts.

I have Covid for the first time (that I know of, at least). I haven't even finished unpacking from our family vacation and my house is a disaster. At least, I imagine that it is - I've been quarantined to the master bedroom in hopes that no one else gets sick. I can hear the teenagers bickering over who has to do what chore so they're not enjoying this either.
Can you break a rib sneezing? I have been sneezing a ridiculous amount and they are the violent, and always three or four in a row. I probably just pulled a muscle, but I have to brace my left side, while trying to prevent pants peeing, every time I have a sneezing attack.

Things are just super bad here right now. I can't go into too much detail, but suffice to say my XH has royally screwed me.

This is probably not what you want to hear, but yes, you can break/Crack ribs from violent sneezing and coughing. Hopefully that's not what's happened. Feel better soon. ❤️ |

I've re-watched Derry Girls during my quarantine. What a gem that show is.
Now the Cranberries will take over my playlist again for a while.

It's been a week since bloodwork drawn and there's so much anxiety in my brain and body waiting for answer.
Of course it's unlikely I have caught hiv or hep from the anesthesiologist screw up
But anxiety is not listening to my logical side of brain.

Unfortunately they didn't renew for a second season, which broke my heart a little (still worth watching the one season imho). |

Just long story short, XH got arrested and lost his job. So I'm down child support for right now and lost DS's health insurance, had to pick him up on mine which is horribly expensive. Between the two I'm going to lose about $1,300 a month.

Rusty Red that’s a hard hit. Is it possible to get DS enrolled in a state sponsored healthcare program?

Rusty Red are you able to get your son set up on COBRA insurance through XH’s previous employer? Might be cheaper than yours. Getting fired is a qualifier for COBRA. Also, check with your County for programs you may be eligible for, even if it’s a one time relief payment. State sponsored programs probably a good option although I know it can be a lot of hoops. Sorry you have to deal with this.

I'm so sorry Rusty Red, how frustrating, stressful, and infuriating all at once. |

I’m so sorry Rusty Red. If you decide to go through the state insurance they will retro active the coverage to the date he was eligible (whenever XH was fired and he lost coverage). It’s usually about a month turn around time- but processing really depends on how backed up they are. |
