Halloween is coming up and today there is a dance at the school. Daughter #2 is going because, and I quote, "Dee and I are going so we can look at all the people and who's trying to go out with who!" Dee is her best friend. Daughter #2 is not the most coordinated person on the face of the earth and so dancing is like falling into sh-- well, you get my drift. At 13, she's very awkward and self conscious. But just the fact that she is going is good enough for me. At least she is making an effort. Daughter #1, on the other hand is not going. When asked why, she told me that the best thing about the dances at the school is the wealth of food that gets laid out. "Nobody ever asks you to dance", she said. How I have raised two such jaded girls is beyond me. At 13 and 14 (almost 15) the two Daughters should be having the time of their lives. This really bothers me. Ok, so they are not the most popular girls at the school... I get that.... I also know that having their dad work at the school that they attend is also a deterrent... and actually I'm glad that they are not the most popular kids in school since usually that indicates that they are up to something they shouldn't be. But this jaded attitude in them so young is not good either. Perhaps embracing mediocrity is something they get from me.... oh sh--, what am I thinking?!.... like they are going to look to me as a roll model?! I'm just their mother for God's sake!
Meanwhile I was doing some research yesterday on silk embroidery and came across a website that was deadly. I ended up wasting a whole lot of time there as it really had no relevance to the research I was doing but ooohhhh it was lovely and I just couldn't tear myself away..... Have a look....

Even the men have gorgeous silk to wear.....
This guy's shirt is too die for... I would wear that... forget him.
This clothes.... is gorgeous... and even though it comes from a different culture than my own... gosh I can't get enough of looking at it. I have to say that it makes me want to wear it too... besides it would cover a wealth of bulges.... : \
Anyway it's just a thought.
Well the ongoing saga of Halloween continues to amuse..... Daughter #2 is calling Dee in an effort to get her to wear black.... costumes are being figured out....
The dance is this evening and even though Daughter #1 doesn't want to go she is wearing a costume to school tomorrow...
Daughter #1 is going as the wicked witch of the west with stolen red shoes...
Daughter #2 is going as a spider queen....
Dee who is coming here to get dressed is going as a escaped convict.....
Me?!... I'm just glad I don't teach... maybe I should dress up as a teacher.... what the heck am I thinking... nobody ever comes here for Halloween!
