Chelsey and Connor

All beautiful....all slept until after noon and all just left. Danny is napping, WHAT the heck did he do? Plant flowers? Lily is exhausted from being a guard dog all day, Chelsey is tagging everyone she knows on Facebook, and Colby ran to take Tyler home. Sure do love the whole group, especially now that Prom 2011 is behind us.

Love to all from Pam, the Prom Queen! All the rest are Princesses...

Awe.....

Oh they were all beautiful and handsome when they drove away.......

So.....we did great today. First stoore (Sam Moon) earrings, second store shoes, Bella Salon for an up do, Great Outdoors for lunch, walked the mall for an hour, Nordstroms for make up.....she even did mine! Lowe's for flowers Drive home, make it by 3:30pm. Not bad. I start straightening the house up, with the plan to plant flowers before everyone gets here for photos. (tired yet?). Chelsey walks out at 4:00pm, 30 minutes before Conner is to pick her up, Colby is in the shower, and Chelsey says "where's the sack with my earrings and bracelet?". Ummmmmm....check your car. Nope. Check the shoes sack. Nope. "Mom, i think i left them at the shoes place.....DAMN! Frantically look for receipt with number, but of course it is in the SACK. Find number on line, call, RECORDER. Call, call, call....finally a Sam Moon guy answers (we got shoes at Shoe Mart, in Sam Moon strip). He can't understand me.....i s....l...o...w.... Down and STILL he has no idea, finally he puts a lady on the phone, YES, they have the sack....it's like 4:10 by then. So i YELL at Danny because he's not moving fast enough for me. Jump in the car and fly to Frisco.....RUN across the parking lot, thrownopen the door, the lady says "earrings?". YES, she holds up the tiny sack, i grab it and run back to the car. Jump on the tollway....but, before i get to the store, i had called another Mom to get oictures in case i do not make it. I call Danny to throw the pots of flowers in my planters and turn them so the pictures look okay, and i drive like a maniac home. Chelsey texting, Colby texting, Danny calling. I get to Celina, run by Chelsey's friends house, jump out, run down driveway, find her in back yard. Rip earrings out of package, stick them in her ears, and back up, they do NOT match....luckily, we got TWO pair. Tear the u matched ones from her ears, make the switch, back up and they are perfect! She was beautiful with TWO wrist corsages....my Princess was gorgeous. I kiss her on the cheek and run fir the car.....Danny has text two more times, everyone is at the house! As i am leaving, Chelsey and crew's Hummer limo arrives. One down one to go!

I drive like a maniac again, to the house....cars everywhere...and they are all over the front yard taking pictures. All are beautiful and handsome. I run in house, grab camera and run out for the photo op. Group pics, couples, group....then i run them all around to the backyard by the DAMN flowers that are stuck in planters with ALL their pots showing. Grrrrrrrrrr...men! I fix them, drag chairs oit of the way and we have another photo op. Cameras clicking all over the place. Then Brendan, Tyler's little brother (who is 7) says "why is there a Limo here?". Yep...you got it, pulled that off before leaving with Chelsey this morning. Woohoo!!!!!!!! They all load up, more photos, and i tell the driver, "i would not do what you do for anything!". She smiles and says she enjoys it. Off the limo goes, followed by all the parents. Danny and i look at each other, WHEW, success!

He and i then jump in the car and go to Anna to eat. We stop by Brookshires and get snacks, drinks and ice. If they are going to drink anything, it will be at our house and i will sleep with their keys! Just made all the snacks, ice down the drinks, and have finally sat down to update our blog. Now...are you tired? I am, but i am waiting up to see all of them come home at midnight via limo and Conner will bring Chelsey home.

I must say Dallas has had a rough week....he is BEYOND jealous....again, snooze you lose aroind here! I bet he picks her up as soon as Conner gets out of the driveway. Dallas text her today asking if they were coming straight home after Prom. I burst oit laughing! He went stag and said he would NOT be able to stand it if she dances...my Princess....that's even what he calls her!

Colby was so handsome and Sierra was beautiful! They looked so dang cute together. She is just a little shorter than him, so they make a great couple. She has a boyfriend in Oklahoma, where she lives, maybe he should have been Dallas' date. LOL.

I shall post pictures tomorrow. Have to get Chelsey's via email first, from an Angel Mom that took care of me on the photo op....

I am sure there will be more stories, but as of this moment, i just hope they are having fun....and everyone makes it home safe and sound...including the Limo drivers afterward!

Wonder how it will be next year? Ugh....

Love to all and it cracks me up that so many people have been checking the blog...hope my story was worth the wait!

XOXO,
Pam, Mom of the Prince and Princess, who are dancing right now...be still my heart!

P.S. I am sure this is full of type-o's, but you'll figure it out....maybe even the guy at Shoe Mart can understand it

Last year's Prom vs this year...

Last year Chelsey attended Prom as a Sophomore.....i didn't think we'd make it thru the day! Thanks to Carla and Ashley, we did. So much fuss and everything being PERFECT...beyond perfect!

This year? It is s just after 6am, and i seem to be the only one fretting.......and not able to sleep.

Colby is all set, no ride, but set. He told me last night everyone is coming here for pictures. Well okay, now i get to make sure we have a good place outside for this to happen. Dinner reservations? Yep, Rudy's Steakhouse. Okay, where's that? He doesnt't know. What time is he picking Sierra up? Don't know. Should i get a Lincoln Town Car for them? Don't know, when Danny gets up, i shall put him on a mission....like it or not! The "for sure"? He has a tux, it matches hers, saw her mom in the grocery store a couple of weeks ago, she confirmed. Does he have flowers? Yes. All done here...LOL.

Chelsey does not have shoes, earrings, jewelry, hair appointment or a clue until Conner text her last night at 11pm what time he will pick her up. He'll be here at 4:45pm to get her to go to Beth Anne's for pictures. She said "Mom, we can just get jewelry and shoes tomorrow, wake me up at 10:30am.". Now.....we have make up appointment at 2pm. That is set. If she gets up at that time, it takes a minimum of an hour for her to get ready...20 minutes to Frisco...that's noon at best to find it all in 2 hours, including having her hair done because MOM, you do hair first and then makeup. Do they have a ride? Yes.....another Mom got the limo a month ago! Does she know where dinner is? Yes, some italian place....where? No clue. Does she have a bib, so that there are no spaghetti sauce stains? No. Does she have the flowers? Yes. Dress. Yes?

Another Mom called me last night to see what i thought about all the "after parties". I had no response.....last year Dallas made sure she was safe and his parents stalked them, to make sure... I asked C and C what their plans were, not sure yet.

Now, a few things are for sure.....Prom is tonight, i have to be in two places at one time for pictures (after i buy a new camera, that is WAY less complicated than our current one), we have flowers, a dress and tux. Prom is at Craig Ranch Clubhouse in McKinney. And i am fretting!

Maybe i will put on two wrist corsages and two lapel flowers, with my pj's and houseshoes and go walk the track, with the new mountain lion that has come to Celina. I'll just come home in the morning, when the kids do!

Limo update...

Okay, my limo quotes ranged from $1350.00 to $2300.00.....so, we are going to plan B, as soon as i figure out what that is!

Their wrist corsages and lapel flowers are safe in the frig. I requested teal flowers.....they landed at the airport from Holland at noon today and i picked them up at the florist at 2:30. Now.....i didnt request Holland freaking flowers, the florist chose to do that, not me! Just so you know, teal orchids do exist. They have a lot of purple, but beautiful just the same. Photos to follow. Colby and date have matching ruffled roses that are white with gold ribbons, from Holland as well. I smilled big when i picked them up. DJ's Floral in Lewisville did great!

So....tomorrow, shoes, jewelry, hair, make up, and home so that she can dress. Colby will probably run in, shower, and throw on his clothes. Someone knew just what i needed....a boy and a girl, NOT two girls!

More Prom Weekend posts to come....but no limo.

Pam

Need a LIMO!!!!!

Colby and friends have gotten screwed out of their deposit and limo for Saturday.....trying really hard to save the day. Hope i can pull it off somehow. Carla thanks for the info. Going to try that in the morning. I have half my friends on alert! 12 people will not fit in all our vehicles! I am sure there will be more story to this in the next 48 hours.

He picked up his tux today. He looks great in it. Danny had a field day trying on Colby's size 17 shoes.....Chelsey and i both posted a picture on our Facebook pages, check them out.

Chelsey got her nails done today. Gel, so it will last. If u have not tried, yes, more exoensive, but lasts and does not chip. Highly recommend!

Another late night....tomorrow will knock out another month end, thank goodness, been a rough one! I started in the mortgage business September of 1984.....would probably make me shiver if i counted the number of "end of the months" that i have made it thru!

Off to bed soon....night night.

Pam

He's coming home Monday!

Dad update: i talked to him on my way home from work, yes, just a bit ago, and he's coming home on Monday. He sounds wonderful and happy that this whole ordeal is almost over. 5 weeks is a long time....made me cry after i hung up with him....i think relief finally hit me. Then i collected myself, and talked to Mom, and YOU sounded good too, SO, i teared up again after we hung up. I am the terrible daughter, that cant make it down often enough. Gotta figure out how to change that somehow, i promise. I love u, just know that!

Pam

A new look for our blog

Just a little change of scenery for our blog....Happy Wednesday all. Home at 9pm last night. Long day!

Love,
Pam

P.S. Who could i possibly know from Boston? Or is that you Carla? Never know where you might be.
