Pajama Day
Well, you already know Pajama Day is every day for me, but Nicole actually had Pajama Day at school today. And she prepared for it as she does for most things: with painstaking decision making (painstaking for everyone else), great deliberation and uncertainty despite evaluating several combinations.
Option One: New Eagles Jammy bottoms, with no matching top. She absolutely could not understand and would not accept that the "matching" top was simply a T shirt or sweat shirt.
Option Two: Rummaging through my jammy drawer to see what I had and determining that every available option was "ugly" or "stupid."
Option Three: Insisting that Tianna had a jammy top, despite her saying "no, T-shirt, (non-endearing term) Nicole! And then I put my robe over, which is why you don't see the T-shirt!!!!!
Option Four: A summer nightgown with leggings underneath and then a huge dilemma about what to wear over it as today is the coldest day of the winter to date. Somehow my suggestion of "robe" was not well responded to. "What if I am the only one?" My suggestion of wearing slippers was also vetoed.
The good thing was, when she FINALLY decided (nightie, leggings and robe) when she got up this morning she was already dressed, complete with bed head.
Then when we arrived at the school, she panicked because the three other kids arriving at the same time didn't have on jammies. I assured her it was, in fact, PJ day, and if it wasn't she could call me and I would bring her clothes. I told her she wouldn't be the only one, but if she was, that certainly I could help with that.
That is why I require margin in my life! All over PJ day! (And yesterday it was over supplying like 20 addresses to magazine order forms, no obligation, mind you, just completed forms so the school could get TIME for Kids.
Oy Vey. (Katy, did I spell the "vey" right? I can't remember...
Peace.

This is precious. Thanks for the chuckle.
Yes, I think you spelled "Vey" right. Jeff confirms you did. Thanks for the smile you gave me.
