oh muggles. i'm screwed. my friend jer returned today to try one last {un}magical thing with my shower. total fail. *ugh*
the good news is that my friend jer is going to be sending me an email soon with a cost estimate on totally removing my shower and replacing it with a tiled stall. and honestly, i'm totally being a smartass with my introductory tone of this paragraph. sweet baby j. this will be a lot more money than the quick-fix i was hoping for. in the end, i know i'll be happy with the result, but to get there... we're taking money... more than i was hoping to spend on fixing this janky old shower.
but such is life, no? we go with the flow because otherwise i fear internal combustion. not worth it. see? that was me growing. learning to not worry, not to stress over things that i cannot control. it's called... LIFE. kind of like the outfit sophie wore to school the other day. i get to not care that she has mixed up patterns on and she gets to exert her inner design diva. it's a total win-win. i'm not saying she can get away with wearing a tube top and booty shorts, but if the girl loves her some striped leggings with a plaid skirt, who am i to say it is a horrible look? she works it so confidently. i can't diss on that!
my name is erica and i am relinquishing ridiculous over-the-top constraints on my children. it's unbelievably liberating and mornings are way less chaotic. if sophie can work a crazy ass outfit into something that builds her self-esteem, MORE POWER TO HER!
