Back to the Fabric Market

Today after dropping Danny off, my mom and I and Josh took off back to the fabric market. This time to pick up her clothes. We were both silently praying that all would be fine with what she ordered. We arrived and headed to the first place. They looked at us and told us it was still being sewn and would be ready at 2pm. I told them this was unacceptable as I had to leave no later than 12 to be back to pick up Danny from school. They said they would get it back by 12 for us. As we walked away from that stall, we both prayed the rest would not have that problem. Usually when you say it will be ready on a certain day it means it is ready at the beginning of the day unless specified otherwise. I was a little shocked that they said it was still being sewn. Thankfully, the next place had the items, but two fit great and two needed alterations. One of my mom's other things was made too small--which is always interesting as they take your measurements, so it is strange they had it so off. It became quite apparent that we would be returning on Wednesday for most of the things. Yet, she was pleased with the work that was done and we both felt much better about most of it. We went back to get her coat, and they informed us that it still was not ready. They agreed to deliver it to the house, so she could try it on. This way if something needed to be changed there would still be time to do it before Wednesday.

We arrived home and picked up Danny and had a low key evening at home. Dustin arrived home after the boys went to bed, but it was so great to have him home after two weeks of business trips.
