I have three annoyances.

[cville]

I cannot find good school/dress shoes for L. I need something suitable for dresses but sturdy, and tight to the foot. She has sneakers. I've looked at every Mary Jane, t strap, and slip on manufactured in girl's size 12 in America. Every.single.one.

I am finding way too many early walker shoes for O. My son does not need a 10 shoe wardrobe.

My husband took yesterday and today off. I asked him to put away our suitcases, please. They are still on the floor upstairs outside the bedroom door. And he had the audacity to complain that his two days home alone all by himself doing NOTHING weren't that relaxing because he had to fit in a dentist appointment. I will DIE before I put them away. DIE. I sigh deeply every time I step over them.

Are you opposed to the dansko Mary Janes? I think they are super cute and bought them for dd who is 5.

Cville, there is an empty shoes box on my couch that's been there for almost two weeks because DH said he "needed" it for something and "promised" he would put it away.

I put it on the trash last week and DH took it out "just in case" he can use it.

I sometimes wonder if his head would fit in it because seeing that effing box on my couch is making me full of all the rage.

[cville]

I will look at dansko and payless, thanks!

I will not strangle my husband. He's a good man and has many redeeming qualities, which I must remind myself of when I stub my toes. Had he not complained about his not-relaxing-enough TWO DAYS OFF DOING NOTHING I'd have just put them away. But not now. Like I said, would rather die.

We just bought the girls maryjanes from stride rite. Simple but I liked the sole for school.

[cville]

She wants something slip on, and I don't want to waste money on shoes she doesn't wear, which eliminates like all Mary Janes because they have closures. So annoying. I may just get some and see.

She needs saddle shoes, look how cute these ones are!




I loved my saddle shoes when I was a little girl I got a new pair every year until 4th grade. Mine were always black and white though


Eta I just saw your "she wants slip ons" update

YES.

Except I will NEVER get it. EVER.

I just looked at Nordstrom and they had a few different ballet flats for toddler girls. A Michael kors pair looked like it has elastic around the top.

I have literally had this exact same suitcase fight. It took a full fucking week, plus a fight. Lol.

I try that game with the dishes. And I lose every single time. And I seeeeeethe inside about it as I'm loading approximately 100000 peanut-butter smeared smoothie cups. I hope you have better luck with the suit cases.

And when in doubt, I always go with keens. Have you looked at those? There are some cute ones in zappos.

There are three things blocking in DS's bike in the garage. An empty cooler, golf clubs, and a hockey bag. In the morning I will tell DS, "Sorry, no, we can't ride your bike. Daddy's stuff is in the way.  Still." Then I will quietly and weakly pretend to try to discourage him from waking up DH who is working nights when DS runs to ask him about the stuff. sorry, not sorry. I asked him on Wednesday. 

[trixiedicksnatch]

My ongoing fight is that fi thinks its totally normal and acceptable to just change in any part of the house and will leave his shoes, pants, belt etc. just where ever all willy fucking nilly.


Dude. No. If I step on your belt buckle or trip over your giant fucking shoes one more time shits going in the trash. I refuse to pick them up and put them away, but I will straight throw that fucking belt away.

I got the Swizzles from Nordstrom for my girls last year. They have an strap but are like slip ons and fit snugly. They were really to take off and put on. If the school didn't change the rules to no Mary Janes I would've got them again this year.

[twolittlecheers]

I just bought dd a pair if sperrys. They are super cute. Pink stripes and I think they will work with leggings and dresses.

There was a retty funny Everybody Loves Raymond with this exact fight. I dont recall the details, but I think Debra put a block of chhese in it and the whole house eventually stank but they both refused to put the suitcase away. Hilarity ensues.
