Wow! Last week was just mind-bogglingly busy. Katie had her first dance recital - hence the mountain of photos. For her recital she had to have a bathrobe to put over her costume - an absolute requirement. Try finding a child's bathrobe in May - yeah, not gonna happen. But, like a good mommy who would really rather not sew, I searched EVERY SINGLE store in town - to no avail. I ended up having to make her a robe on Monday for her rehearsal on Tuesday - nothing like waiting until the last minute to tell us she had to have one - but that's a different story. Anyway, for her recital, the dance studio requires that all parents either volunteer or pay a $250 "opt-out" fee. I decided that paying that fee was ridiculous (big mistake!) and so I volunteered. I was selected (after having to submit pieces of my work) to be one of the photographers. That meant 2 days of shooting the rehearsal - lucky for me, Katie had her Preschool Graduation ceremony on the last day of rehearsal - so I was able to leave after 2 hours of shooting to attend that. Of course, it didn't mean I got home any earlier, or that I wasn't shooting a blue-million photos (lord, are my shoulders tired!)! Anyway, after 2 days of volunteering (and 1,400 photos later), then came 2 days of the actual recital - so we're at 4 days of the week just for this *&%* recital (Tuesday-Friday). Then Zachary had an 8am flag football game on Saturday - not to mention the field trip to the zoo on Tuesday during the week for school. Then we finally got him into the accelerated program at school and that brought a host of issues during the week. UGH! I'm ready for some good old-fashioned sleep. But that's not going to happen as I'm coordinating the HOA garage sale which is in 2 weeks. Ah well, at least I can clean the crud out of my basement.
