Yellow shoes

Today was Bugs' last "vacation day"

She sounded a bit forlorn on the phone this morning so I asked her if she would like to go to the mall with me.
Of course the answer was yes!

She will be the matron of honor at her friend Maddie's wedding in September.
It's going to be a "green" affair with cotton dresses and sunflowers.
The bridesmaids dresses are BRIGHT green, very cute.
Initially they were going to wear yellow shoes.

Goooood luck!

After a few weeks of looking for yellow shoes, and not finding any, the plan was switched to plain beige canvas type shoes.

Ah yes.

We went to every shoe store in the mall, as well as the shoe departments at Belks and Macy's, Penneys and Sears. No such luck. The choices were either tennies, or what we call in this family: "suicide shoes", those 4 inch platform things. My ankles break by just looking at them.
Since Bugs has the longest and skinniest legs on earth, she can not wear anything higher than a one inch heel. And even then she wobbles.

Of course every store we went into had a row of....yes...yellow shoes!!!
But, always with 3-4-5 inch heels, and patent leather, or sparkly stuff on them.

I reminded her that the wedding wasn't until September and that she had plenty of time to find the right shoes. Summer collections are just coming into the stores, and who knows....

Much to my surprise, the first thing she did this morning was to call Humana Health insurance, and set up a good plan for her. (Her bosses decided to drop the coverage they have because they don't have enough people for the plan and it's too expensive)
For once this girl does what she is supposed to do. Only to get a call from her boss tonight that they will hang on to the coverage "for a little while longer" and not to sign anything.

Bugs is fit to be tight. I think she's pretty much had it with this job. It will be interesting to see how things will develop.

Next Thursday she has an appointment at Scottish Rite Children's hospital for Boo-boo's MRI.
They called her today to confirm. What sounded like a simple procedure at first now seems like some major undertaking. Initially we were told they would use a suppository type tranquilizer to calm her down, now they tell her she will have to be put to sleep. First it was a matter of an hour, now it's four hours.

Bugs hadn't told her boss yet, thinking she would be back in time for her shift at two.

She's afraid they won't let her take the day off. She is so frustrated. Welcome to motherhood, darling. I hope she will ask me to come along. I offered to a while back, but she hasn't said anything since. So we wait.

The reason they want to take an MRI of her spine is because her little butt crack veres off at her tailbone, which might be an indication of scoliosis or even a fused vertibrae.

Hopefully it's nothing, glad we have the insurance to pay for it, and to get some peace of mind.

So without shoes, and Boo nodding off, we decided to take the long way home (as opposed to the freeway we take the scenic route), and then go to lunch. Home again at two. Not too bad. I was bushed!

We're not sure about tomorrow yet, as Bugs can't get a hold of Daddy. There we go again. Oh well...

All in all an interesting week. Me with my post-Menopausal PMS, Bugs with her problems, Boo with her teeth.
