Um, tell your 5 yr old that I'm w/ her - I think it would've been completely fun and outrageous if I'd worn a Tutu to work today .

I'll let her know you support the Tutu dress code ; it will make her giggle to hear the news. I'm pretty easy on her as far as what she wears; she's 5 and I actually let her wear it with spandex Capri pants underneath. I pick and choose my battles, and this morning I was satisfied as long as they were both clean, fed, and they let me style their hair. I'm very grateful, and if I don't have my mushy moments to reflect, I get in a bad mood, and my whole weekly outlook is just pathetic. And bad outlooks are contagious, so I try to stay happy and optimistic as much as I can. My fiance' says that I give myself 'weekly pep talks' to make it through. lol.
