But I did spot instead, in the children's shoes, these gorgeous Clarks sandals. I'm only a UK size 3 or EU size 36. They came home with me for a fab $60!
We are having huge issues with the 11 year old and hideous sleep cycles - he is quite frankly a teenager already in attitude and sleeping hours. We battled with him for over an hour this morning to get him out of pjs and into school uniform and to school (he was late - his problem - NOT mine). He ended up in the sick bay 3 times , with the school ringing us 3 times and us refusing to go and pick him up, as he is not sick. It is also called "major avoidance of school work syndrome" and the school and parents are working together to get the kid moving. He is deliberately at this school to realise he can not muck around. So we are working on a tough love approach around school work, home work, family involvement and strict computer useage. Sigh. So I needed these shoes!
Dear Kimberley, thinking of you, you must be shattered!!! Little Miss also having major wobbles but like you I am just standing my ground...tough love is hard though. You definitely need those shoes, sometimes I think I need magic ruby shoes too. Maria xx
ReplyDeletecan SO understand why you need those shoes x
ReplyDeleteKia Kaha Kimberley. Keep reminding yourself you do it because you love them!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the 11year old. Always good to shop for yourself
ReplyDeleteThat sounds tough. I think retail therapy is good, (provided it doesn't get out of hand!). I was at the funeral of a friend's mother today and driving home I stopped by Laura Ashley and bought 3metres of beautiful fabric, just because. X
ReplyDeleteWe have a 10 year old suffering with the same attitude . . . We have gone to a strictly no screen policy throughout the week TOUGH when Mama is trying to study.
