Tiny Dancer


T performed with her ballet class last weekend. All the students at Dancer's Workshop were in the two-hour production, each class performing a 3- or 4-minute dance they'd worked on since September. T finally found the ability to look upwards, smile, and not watch everyone else's feet! She loved every part of it except for being forced to wear makeup. All the dancers were good and I'm very happy with this ballet studio. I volunteered to help backstage so yes, I have added another "StereotypeMeMom" title. SAHM, SoccerMom, BookorderMom, and now StageMom. Ew. Really, I was just inept enough to prove to myself that I can put away the Type-A personality whenever I feel like it.
This week brought many changes...
K got a major start on moving dirt to the garden plot, so we hopefully will have some vegetables growing - but we are not likely to have a lawn this year.
We all now sleep in as late as we dare.
My piano is no longer taking up space at Mom & John's house - it's been relocated to our tiny living room, right under the Massive Elk Head. R loves the piano.
The street was graded! Now the huge potholes have been replaced with a surface full of rocks the size of shoes, so the mamavan is rattling in random new places.
Soccer has begun. I really enjoy it, because the girls like it so much and they're good at it, too. I like the outdoors-big-field-of-grass feeling. Soccer reminds me of good times in Laramie.

Our next week is one we've been looking forward to, when our good friends from Laramie are coming to visit for four days! BossLady has been making me count down the days since some time in March I think. Now we're down to three days until their arrival, and I have of course left everything until the last minute. I even procrastinated procrastinating. Now that it's quiet in here I'm off to get something done, in a minute.
