A Day Of Dressing Up Shot

[Glenda58]

All week long wife has been telling at she is babysitting her grandkids at her son's house today and staying over night. So I've been planning and getting ready for today. Shaved my legs got my outfits that I plan on wearing out the makeup ready to go. My wig brushed and ready shine my heels. Even planned to go to the casino in Ohio:).

Last night she tells me plans have changed the kids are coming here for the night:eek:. Now not only do I not get to dress I have to put everything back in hiding plus also move my cloths out of the room the kids will be in.:sad:

I had new eye shadow I want to try and a dress that I've only try on to see if it fits. I was even going to wear one of her coats to the casino that I found out that fits me.

This is the one post that I truly feel sorry for the poster today.

That sucks.

Sorry to hear about that. I hope you can find time to use your new acquisitions soon.

I know the feeling ...my Mother does the same thing every once in a while...good thing is tomorrow is another day.

Glenda,

There is lemonade and a silver lining somewhere. I am sure you will find them.

There ought to be a law against thin.

An all too common tale. The anticipation and the let down can be crushing.

Glenda,
Oh! Wonderful, at least you get to see the children. :)
Some things are there to frustrate us sometimes.
Try again tomorrow. :)

Half empty, or half full? Depends on how u look at it, Glenda.

Many here who don't, would LOVE to have a wife and grand kids! I believe if u want to dress that badly? You'll find a time and a way to do it!

Here's the silver lining. It's a bit tarnished, so you'll have to use your imagination.
Often the anticipation of an event is greater than the event itself. This certainly qualifies as one of those times. I suggest that you resign yourself to fondly remembering the anticipation.

I'd volunteer to dress for you, but I have to work today.

[Vanessa Rose]

Glenda,

I happen to agree with the other posters... By the way whenever i get big plans in my head and build it up, I either don't get dressed or only partially. Too many body parts to assemble for me many days (wink).

I would chalk it up to seeing the grand kids and smoke a cigar and drink a shot of scotch. Matter of fact,,, that sounds pretty good

Now I don't want to light the wig on fire soo...

I've given up many days of dressing, because of the grandkids. And I will gladly put it all back or in some cases take it right back off, when the phone rings and I hear hey dad, can you pick up the kids today, I've got a meeting, sorry I forgot to call last night. Or something to that effect, that's life. Years from now, I may not remember the day I couldn't dress, but I'll always cherish the days spent with those kids.
Boy, come on really, it's a bummer having to put it away and not getting to use it, isn't it?

[Glenda58]

Yes I had fun with grandkids did some things with them. Grandma's taking them home now. I'm sitting here in a skirt and blouse tights heels and a wig little makeup. Not want I had plan to do but it will work for now. She'll be back in a few hours so I must do my wash of bras and panties before she gets home.

What's that old saying the best laid plans of mice and men who CD. It will be disappointing for a while but oh the anticipation of the next time is now more prevalent than before. Maybe you can dream about it....

[SherriePall]

Wish I had a dollar for every time something like that happened. Have to make the best of it and realize that there's always tomorrow.

[Glenda58]

I'm dressed now but got to go wife just called is on her way back home now.

[BLUE ORCHID]

Hi Glenda, There will be another chance.

[anaissa]

So, so sorry Glenda. How many of us have had this happen over and over? Fortunately there will be other opportunities. I know this is precious little comfort when your expectations were so high.

[Lynn Marie]

Been divorced for 8 years now. Can no longer imagine the frustration and disappointment of not being able to dress whenever I like. It seems almost like a drug addiction.

glenda, i so identify with your post. Been there, done that. i recently was working a convention very close to home but because of the schedule decided to stay at the hotel. Planned and packed for a time both to dress in the room and to be able to sleep as Marsha. My wife announced on the day i was leaving that she would join me that night as she wanted a break. all the plans went up in smoke right then.
As it turned out we had a great time together, met new people, made new friends, renewed old ones and it turned out great. Later that week, she announced she was going with her girlfriend to the friends medical appointment,and it would require an over night stay as well as the drive thime there and back! i ended up with alone dress time and was able to sleep dressed in my own bed!
Yes your original time was gone, but whatever caused that to go away is usually better anyway. Memories need to be added and cherished, take them whenever you can.
