Good morning, DDA! I had several strong dreams about you last night. It didn't seem like anything was wrong, but you were all trying to tell me something that I just wasn't getting. I figured that my mind must be telling me that I have been away much too long.
Unfortunately, this will have to be a quick pop in a couple of times today, because my weekend is extra crazy.
I am a little sad to see that I won't be able to catch up but also a little relieved. It was overwhelming to think about going back to all that I missed.
So, could someone please give me a little recap?
It's been so busy around here. Matthew did a great job in The Breakfast Club (and others have said that, too, so it isn't just mommy pride). It was so strange seeing him up there completely into a character that is so different from him.
The older two have been off all week except when they needed to be there for Regents and local exams. That was a pain, because they don't run mid-day buses, and my work schedule didn't fit well with when they needed to be picked up and dropped off. I used a sub for a little while yesterday, and some friends helped out with other driving. Of course, being out of school requires more drive time for me, too.
Tomorrow night is the Snowball at the high school. It is a big deal...fancy dresses, getting hair done, going to dinner first, etc. Matthew's girlfriend didn't want to go, and he was actually just as happy. Laura, however, is going. There is a large group of them going together. Since there were so many, they decided to do appetizers at a friend's house instead of going to a restaurant. Anyone have any good ideas for non-messy appetizers? I am one of the ones bringing food for this giant group.
Also, tomorrow, Laura has morning synchro practice that she can't miss, because the first meet is Sunday. Synchro will be followed by a manicure, picking up flowers, her hair appointment, and getting ready for the dinner/pictures at the friend's house. Matthew is taking the SATs tomorrow morning and then wants to go to his girlfriend's house.
Sunday is the meet. We are hosting, which is good in that we don't have to travel. It's not so good in that I have to get a bunch of food prepared for that, too, and be prepared to get there early and work all day. Snowball is going to be a late night, so Laura isn't going to want to get up. I can't see making her miss her first Snowball, though, so we are just going to do the best we can to get it all in.
I wish I could stay and chat longer, but work is calling. I need to get there as early as I can today, because my co-teacher has a dentist appointment and may be a few minutes late.
I'll be in a little later between my various driving duties.
Have a great day, DDA! Thanks for visiting my dreams.
That is wonderful, Jen! Out of curiosity, just what do these emails look like? What is the subject heading?
Sounds like a really nice day yesterday wandering World Showcase. That's probably one of my favorite parts of a trip. Sorry that dinner wasn't better though. Enjoy MK today!!
