The Past: March 14, 2003
TGIF!
Today is the first day that I haven’t taken a nap in a while. I finally got some energy and decided to clean! The whole house has been dusted and vacuumed. The laundry is finished and I am ready for whatever the weekend brings. I know that we need to go grocery shopping, but I would like to do other things as well.
Ashley paid $1 today to dress the way that she wanted. The proceeds benefit the UK Children’s Hospital. She picked out a blue jean jacket with a brown fur trim. The child is daring. I would have never gone to school in something like that. I was never a trend setter. I always wore the same old blue jeans and sweaters or t-shirts – no big deal. I can tell right now that Ashley is going to be very picky and her daddy and I are going to be spending a lot more than we ever anticipated! That’s okay though; she’s all girl and I love that about her.
What do you mean Ashley paid the $1—was it a school thing, like a special day/fundraiser or was this at a clothing store? We don’t have this kind of day at schools/stores near me.
She paid $1 so that she could wear whatever she wanted to school that day. Many times, people will do the same thing at work for charity. For example, when the University of Kentucky is playing a game, they can pay $1 on a Friday to wear a UK sweatshirt instead of their normal dress clothes.
Did she have a uniform then?
