Oh My God - a mothering crisis

Ohhhhh Gunne Sax! My prom was in 78, and my dress was 3 tiers of cream muslin with a brown velvet bodice, laced up the front and a big tie-bow in the back, oh AND brown up-to the elbow cuffs and poofy sleeves. I loooved that dress.

Quiana! That stuff does NOT mix with velcro (learned the hard way).

I too had a Gunne Saxe that I loved. A somewhat high waist/bodice of lace, and the top knotted together. I was still in Alberta when we got it, so it must have been around 1970. Both very sexy and demure. (No underblouse on that one).

Ohhhh I had a favorite dress from them (circa 1976) that I finally "parted" with last year. Gave it to the drama dept -- they loved it. ... was kind of southern bell - but in a pale yellow flower background with ecru lace front and fitted sleeves....

LOL! Yes, we did, which is why when my mom comes to my house and I'm cooking dinner for my family, she *still* gets all worried and protective when I boil water or use a sharp knife!

What a pretty girl! With a gorgeous smile... I hope she had a great time!

]*she had to have. She loved me instead of killing me many, many times.*

BINGO! LOL!

I kept thinking during Sarah's pregnancy.. ok.. now Jim will know what I always felt for him, the depth... the worry, the love, the joy... and it was then it dawned on me that what I felt for Jim, and he feels for Marcus, thats what MY mom felt for Me! Wow.. someone loved me that much!

Being a single mom for three years opened my eyes to what my mom had to do for us, and how she struggled for us... yeah, she's kind of neurotic now, but I barely survived three years of single motherhood and she made it through twenty-five years doing it alone. I'd be neurotic too if I'd had to fight that hard for that long. Taking care of babies and a house and earning a living solo is mind-numbingly hard, and kudos to all the moms who did it and are continuing to do it today.

AMEN!! I did it for five years, and it was the hardest thing I've ever done! I had a brand-new baby and I didn't even have any family in state.
