Home Alone

 As a parent there is very rarely a time when you have the house to yourself.  Today my boy's are at school, my daughter is out with Grandparents and my wife is working.  Aside from the painters in the basement and the kitchen guys that just left I am free to do what I want or need to do.  A good nap, laundry, floors, a garbage run to the dump, clean out the garage or even watch Oprah, but she's not on until 4:00 and my kids will rat me out to my wife.  Instead here I sit contemplating how anyone could come up with so many shades of pink.

 Can you wash them all together?  Can you match any of them when dressing your daughter?  Should I go with the black pants and pink top or pink top and black pants?  Pink socks with pink pants?  As you can see I am at a crossroad with no idea which way to go.  Excuse me a minute, "hey guys just put on the blue jeans and whatever top you want on".  Now if I did that with my daughter or when I do that with my daughter I am criticized for not making her look like a little girl.  Now don't get me wrong I do dress her in pink many days just not always the right pink.  What the heck does that mean?  Why doesn't someone sell complete outfits with the right pink and matching colour that helps make it pop, oh and don't forget the matching shoes?  Listen to me, matching shoes and what does the word pop mean.  I have to stop watching "What Not To Wear".  Today I dressed my daughter in pink so that she would look like a little princess.  I hope the white turtle neck doesn't distract the whole look, but it is cold outside.  And by the way, do not get me started on the hair, that is for another day.

 My wife is working hard to get me understanding the pinks and how they work.  For Valentines she is getting me a subscription to Teen Vogue and Fashion Magazine.  If you want to chime in with your fashion tips or know how please do so.  Wish me well as I tackle the load of pink laundry.
