Well, tonight is Hays's winter concert. They are required to wear black dress pants, a black belt, black shoes and a white button down. Remember, I live in America's Worst Dressed City (Durango was ACTUALLY voted that). So I had to buy Hays a brand new outfit that he will outgrow before next year's concert and will never wear again. So, I have waited until the last minute to buy shoes because that was just a cost too difficult for me to stomach.
So, we went to buy shoes today. The men's shoes (can you believe that my baby wears a men's size?!?!) were nearly $70. WHAT IN THE WORLD!?!??! So, we meandered to the children's section where the same shoe was only $20. Needless to say, Hays will be curling his toes tonight for the concert.
That brings me to the 20 year overdue apology. When I was in high school, my mom bought me a pair of volleyball shoes that were 2 sizes too big. I couldn't believe it! But "they were on sale." I still couldn't believe it! And until about one hour ago, it was a topic of great fun (poking fun at my mom) in the White house. But now I get it. I had to call mom from the store parking lot and apologize to her about the whole shoe ordeal. And to make matters worse, she reminded me that the volleyball shoes were at least too big (and I would grow into them) and the shoes I bought Hays are most deffinately too small!
