Bad Luck Dress

Have you ever worn something that always seemed to bring bad luck when you wore it?

For my sister Jordan, it was her bathing suit. The summer she was 5 years old it was rarely off of her body. Unfortunately though, bad things seemed to happen when she wore it. We used to go to Wet 'N Wild (now Hurricane Harbor) 3-4 times a week. Somehow she got lost one day and of course she was wearing the bad luck bathing suit. During the same summer, she was playing outside with tons of other kids and a neighbor came around the corner too fast and hit Jordan with her car. Again, she was wearing the bad luck bathing suit. She was fine thankfully - just bumps and bruises. I'm pretty sure my mom burned the suit after that though.

The girls have had bad luck lately in their 4th of July dresses. First, Landrie puked in our rental car after our Conroe trip wearing her dress and then 10 days later Karsyn did the same. I still can't believe the virus lasted in our house for that long!

Unfortunately, the bad luck traveled to Salado. The girls went down on Tuesday to spend the week with Gigi & Grandpa. Karsyn got sick the night before, but it seemed like a one time deal. She woke up the next morning feeling fine...evidently not. On the way from Hillsboro to Salado, she got sick, but quickly got over it. Gigi came down with it last night though. I feel terrible! I don't think she was planning to have the stomach bug on her week off. So, the girls' trip was cut short and I picked up the girls today. I sure was glad to see them, but I hated the circumstances for which they came home early.

Feel better Gigi!! Thanks for watching the girls! I hope we didn't scare you from doing it again!

Hopefully we'll have good luck in their dresses tomorrow. Happy 4th Everyone!

I hated cutting the visit short too! Juli and I had planned to take the girls to the park, creek, and a water park. But, unfortunately the bug got me in a bad way. I am still feeling under the weather today...thought I was over it, but my supper last night has not agreed with me. So I am laying low today and trying to get myself ready for the "real" world again. My girls are precious. God has been so good to my family and I am thankful for every minute I get to spend with ALL of my family. I am looking forward to the next visit...but leave the "bugs" at home. :) Love you all, Gigi
