TYE DYE INTERVENTION

Anyone who knows me or have been around my kids for any period of time knows;

THEY DRESS THEMSELVES

I DON'T CORRECT THEM WHEN IT DOESN'T MATCH

SHORTS IN THE WINTER? SURE, BUT NO COMPLAINING
JUST NOT ON MY RADAR OF IMPORTANT ITEMS TO WORRY ABOUT

WE RECEIVE TONS OF 'HAND ME DOWNS' FROM FRIENDS AND FAMILY

THE KIDS ARE THE YOUNGER HALF OF 25 & 1/2 GRAND KIDS

I'D SAY, A PRETTY GOOD PLACE TO BE

NOT ALOT OF TIME WORRYING ABOUT BEING FANCY AROUND HERE

MY IDEA OF PUT TOGETHER IS WHEN MY NIKE SHOX MATCH MY SHELF BRA

NOW THAT'S PERFECTION

I can't recall where I read this quote but I love it...

"THE MOST IMPORTANT THING YOU CAN WEAR IS YOUR PERSONALITY"
Probably a fortune cookie or perhaps a trashed Snapple lid Drexel picked up off the ground

OF COURSE MY WARDROBE STANDARDS HAVEN'T TOTALLY HIT ROCK BOTTOM

WHAT YOU WEAR SHOULD AT LEAST BE CLEAN

Summer 2011 was filled to the rim with easy going, hang out, make the most of, cross off the bucket list kinda days. Big on the FUN list was tye-dying. Huge fans of this get your hands dirty, definitely outside, pick anything in your closet fun! I wear tye dye under-roos, lay my big ole head on a tye dye pillow case, wipe the counters with tye dye rags, Zumba in tye dye tanks.

Blah, Blah, Blah.

I don't have anything against it AT ALL.

BUT

No exaggeration, after hosting several tye dye parties these have been the ONLY shirts Delaney has worn for 4 months straight.

IT wasn't hard finding pictures on the computer of her with these shirts on.

CHECK

PICTURE FOLDERS

The intervention begin a while ago, one shirt at a time. I felt too guilty to actual give them away. Didn't seem fair.I wouldn't want someone doing that to my favorite 2 pairs of black yoga pants I alternate days wearing.

BUT

That was then!

NO MORE MR.NICE GUY!

Confiscating them took a while. Higher up on the shelf they went. Last one out of sight around Christmas time.

Mom, have you seen my tye dye shirts?

Your what honey?

MOM!

No really, what did they look like?

It's not funny mom.

Oh, sorry, I will keep my eyes open for them. In the mean time I need help getting these bags in the car for Goodwill. (wink wink)
OK, sure. Ya know what mom?

What?

I think I'm going to save my money up to buy something.

Oh, yeah....what would that be?

A tye dye kit. (wink wink)
I guess I'm not smarter than a fourth grader after all.
