Prom

Ah,  Prom Season.

I never went to a prom.

ever.

My brother

(a year younger)

went to about 8 proms.

I kid you not.

My daughters went to proms and

 here

is my baby boy 

and his pretty date.

I have 4 more children

(girls) 

'til this 

Prom 

nonsense will end.

I work at a hair salon.

we have these teens come in

for $65 updos.

The saddest phone call I got a few weeks ago

was a mom

cancelling her daughter's appointment

:(

her daughter and boyfriend had broken up.

UGH!

For those of you teen girls who are not worried 

or think you are above it all

I am 48

(49 in 12 days) 

I still think of the missed 

date

missed dress

corsage

dance 

missed hopes and Cinderella dreams.

But then again I guess I didn't get drunk and puke on an expensive dress
