Okay the flying on Monday finally caught up with Amanda and i today..we were both dragging and waiting for the end to come. I usually don't mind adding a little at the end but today I stopped at 5 on the DOT...Sasha was laughing at me for walking the last little bit...oh well. Okay...it's been a rough week. Our stove broke today ... and then I missed Julia's dance recital and she was heartbroken. We went to this two hour rehearsal for it yesterday and I discovered that her class did two dances at the very end. I figured I could show up later and be okay. If we hadn't hit bad rush hour traffic ( which of course I didn't consider because I'm an airheaded housewife who is usually rushing through dinner at that time and not thinking about the rest of the world)..anyway, if we hadn't hit bad traffic we would have made it okay but we just missed it. Very sad. Luckily her friends hung around at the end and the teacher let them get up on stage. What a difference...she went from crying to exuberant in two seconds..she obviously loves to perform....does not get stage fright and is a natural dancer. Her teacher said when she noticed Julia was gone she thought..."Oh no..we need her..everyone watches her to get the moves right." Anyway...sad...guilty mom feelings but nothing traumatic so I'll be content with life...I just like to dramatize things a bit. |
