Mississippi Sorority Recruitment 2015

Sassymom, I'm dying laughing - sing-along-songs!!! That is perfect! My middle daughter turns 13 this weekend and I have a slumber party happening at my house tonight - not going to drink a whole bottle of wine with a bunch of 13 year olds running around, so maybe I will have to turn up the music!!! At least I will be distracted from my clock and my cell phone

You all will appreciate this: when my daughter sent me photos of her rush schedule, I glanced at the first page and she only had one party, all other slots were "break" - I am not accustomed to these rounds being broken into two days, well my heart dropped into my shoes... oh boy, I thought she had only been invited back to one. I was so relieved to see the second sheet marked with four more houses that I about dropped my phone. She is very very happy with all the houses on her schedule and I am feeling so much better about our chances of this being smooth sailing. She is not a drama queen, sometimes I wish she'd get more wound up about things but the nice thing is that her disappointments don't sink her to the ground either. This may make our Sunday a much sunnier day, even if she doesn't end up at her first choice.

Thank heaven we have our "family birthday party" and college football to get me through tomorrow. That and the fact that my area is expecting to float away tomorrow. We're just south of Charlotte, NC and north of Columbia, SC - somewhere between 'build an ark' and 'lower the life boats'....

Thank you OldOleMiss and Sassymom for your good wishes, sending the same to the girls you're pulling for. Sassymom, do you have any other daughters? I have two younger and am already hoping they choose schools where it may not be so MUCH.

BTW, My husband was able to get me a hotel room for the weekend, but a couple weeks ago my daughter decided that maybe I didn't really need to come over after all.... (since she would be so busy and all ) So..... Canceled the room for someone else to have and although it's much easier not having to drive all that way this weekend, I realize I will miss having a sideline seat for all the activity on Sunday. Glad she is feeling more self confident but..... #FeelingEnvious

She is NOT missing having a sideline seat, because we three have been in contact and I will be standing in for her in The Grove tomorrow and sending photos and videos!

I honestly will never be able to properly thank my friend Loyally Kappa for bringing The Grove and Pi Phi and my daughter's joyful smile to me in South Carolina today. She spent hours on a chilly damp Sunday traipsing around with a camera and capturing the memories for me. The photos and video are fantastic and the next best thing to being there. I am truly grateful.

Let's see if I can figure out hot to post them....
