So today's post is a very short one, as well as a very late one as
I've had a very busy and hectic day with a lot to think about. My mum and I got
up earlier than usual to go shopping for my Leaver's Ball dress. My school
hosts a Leaver's Ball which we arrange ourselves with the budget they give us.
We have decided to have ours at the Thistle Hotel, meaning dress is pretty
formal so me and my mum decided to take a trip to our local shopping centre to
check out some dresses :).
We stopped off at my school first of all
to pick up my Yearbook and also Leaver's Hoodie and as I started reading the
Yearbook in the car, I didn't realise how emotional I would get! I think it's
just beginning to dawn on me that some of the people I see all the time and
hear about, I'm never going to see again. It's definitely a bittersweet part of
life because I know this summer is going to be the best ever and I can't wait
to see what I get up to in the next few years, but then I will miss some of the
people I don't talk to as much, so so much!
We did in the end manage to pick up a
couple of dresses in the end for me to decide between; both maxis and both ball
appropriate, however it's so late now I haven't been able to photograph either,
so that will have to come at a later date. I then kind of got thinking how I'm
spending so much money on a dress and shoes and makeup etc for one night and I
don't even know where the want to buy it all came from. Like I understand it's
a ball and our last night all together but is it really worth all that money?
And would the boys be spending this much on suits? Like exactly what is the
difference? I'd much prefer to spend the money on summer clothes I'm going to
wear all the time. But we don't. We spend £200 odd an outfit for one event.
Because it's the thing to do. The thing is, am I buying them because I really
want them or because everyone else is buying new clothes and makeup as it's an important pinpoint in our lives? Well even I don't know the answer so I
can't see how you trying to work it out will help. Because I can't confirm or
deny. We also took a stupidly idiotic trip to Primark to see if there was any
good bargains and ended up walking out with about 20 items to try on at home.
Mind, all but two, will be returning as I wasn’t too impressed with their
quality this month. But that’s me. The picky shopper. Ha ha!
I had to look after the kids until 8:15 this evening which was
emotionally and physically draining as both were under 6, meaning Frozen and
Football were the main priorities. Mind, who am I to turn down Frozen...?
Exhausted, sleepy and aching all over, it is finally time to let
my head hit the pillow and dream of ball gowns, hair up-do’s and all things
girly. Hopefully tomorrow will be more photo inspiring and less wordy. I'll leave with a pretty fruitful quote I found which pretty much refers to the rest of my life as I know it.
