Holla Hump Day

This week's shout outs go to...

...everyone involved in tonight's ballet recital. The teacher of Lila's ballet class needs a really big day at the spa in my opinion. I've sat in the class. Teaching is hard, but teaching 3-6 year olds ballet is HARD. The director of the company has been so amazing as well. I emailed her a few weeks back about my concerns with Lila not doing the recital, and she said everything in just the perfect way. Sometimes you need a stranger to bring you back to the land where your child is three and maybe just doesn't want to do it anymore. There doesn't have to be a reason or some underlying meaning. AND, a big thank you to those who came tonight to cheer her on knowing full well she may not do it. More on tonight in another post!

...those who value this community my little family lives in and want it to stay intact. There's an uphill battle on it's way. Quite a big one actually. I hope for the sake of our home value and this neighborhood that it all works out.

...my girlfriends. I spend a lot of time with my little chickies, and I wouldn't have it any other way. However, there's a lack of adult conversation in my life at times. Then, when I am around a group of adults I feel sort of like I have to reacclimate myself to being an adult. It can be awkward and completely embarrassing. Most of my friends would probably say they don't know what I'm talking about. They would say that because they are really sweet. I go to the monthly girls dinner and it takes me almost the first thirty minutes to feel like I am a part of the conversation. Once things get going though I feel nothing but grateful. I am so lucky to have these ladies in my life.

It's a short one this week because I waited too late and now I need to go to sleep! Ballet recitals are exhausting ;-) Happy Holla Hump Day!
