Cinderella...aka Jamie

i don't think there are any words that i can use to describe how proud i was last night when my baby walked out of her room to leave for her junior prom....i know that many of you have small children and they are a handful...but what i would give for jamie to be little again...they will be grown up before you know it...hope you enjoy the pics...

the joke is on me....

ok...so you would think that after being married for almost 12 years i would know not to believe anything that comes out of my husband's mouth...he is the biggest practical joker ever...well today is no different...

he sent me an email telling me that jamie had been in a fight at school with another girl..she was in on campus suspension for 4 days...she could not go to the prom friday night...she was acting like a thug...and we have spent all this money on this prom for nothing....this is just in a nutshell...so i try to call him and can't get him so i call the school to see what is going on...now remember i am working in boaz today...i have two old people in a physical altercation and a suicidal person at the pell city building and i have been interviewing potential social workers...my mind is spinning...ok back to the school...the secretary tells me she does not know anything about this but she would have the principal call me as soon as he came back in....so i call stephen again and ask him what is going on and that i need some details...he casually replies, "the only detail you need to know is it is april fools day." i could have come through the telephone. so i had to call the school back and tell the secretary that the joke was on me...she just rolled...i was about to throw up...

now please understand that my daughter is very passive and does not stick up for herself...i have been trying to teach her to be more assertive and not take crap off of anyone...so i was getting ready to have to eat my words...but oh well...she is going to the prom, my hubs is still alive..for now...and tomorrow is a new day....
