Ok, it’s actually not so bad anymore. I took a dance class on Saturday. I thought I’d ease back in with a “simple” modern class. Yea, um, no. The regular class was canceled b/c the school had a guest company visiting and one of the dancers was teaching a master class. Great. I somehow got convinced by the receptionist to take the class anyway. I did have fun, and it wasn’t too bad since the style is one I was familiar with from my Ailey days. Plus, I couldn’t let those 16 year olds show me up, lol. When I came home, I took a nap. I woke up so stiff on Sunday. I could barely move. I’ve been shuffling around ever since then. Someone pass me some Epsom Salts.

• Finished up my Christmas cards in photoshop! Now if I can get them in the mail before Christmas, I’ll be doubly happy.
• ZB moved to a new class and is already doing much better. He’s happy with the move and we both like his new teacher. I have mixed feelings about this whole…thing and every time I see Assy P, I get a little nauseous.
• Bebe is talking so much and understands a lot as well. I mean, I know he’s almost three, but wow. Being a third child has its advantages.
• Girlie is begging to go back to ballet class. For a while there, she had some weird aversion to the school. That reminds me, the two of us may be going to see The Nutcracker if I can get the tickets. It’ll be her first live ballet!
• Have you been watching all the holiday shows that come on this time of year? We have. The kids don’t usually get to watch tv in the evenings, so it’s a treat for them.
• Another treat is having DH home this week. Due to some stuff we have going on, he had to change his vacation time to earlier in the month. I’m a little bummed that he won’t be home when the kids are out of school which is what we’d planned, but it’s nice too. We’ve been playing board games, watching said holiday shows, etc.
• I don’t know what’s going on with my library science program. The communication with the school sucks and I fear their distance learning programs are set up more for people who are taking a few classes at the school and need to take a few online for whatever reason. *sigh* I really wanted to get it done so I could apply for a position with the school district next fall. Now I’m not sure that will happen.
• I have a meeting tomorrow to discuss taking over the presidency of a local mom’s group just getting on its feet. It’s a national organization, that’s why groups have a president, vice, etc. Apparently, there are quite a few people who want the group, but no one wants to lead. I just hope this doesn’t go the way of the Girl Scouts…

Mark Morris and Mozart? Yay! And Live from Lincoln Center, too? I spent so much time in that area when I danced since the Ailey School was right behind Lincoln Center. I loved reading as much then as I do now and so spent a ton of time at the performing arts library and the ballet bookshop, too. And also? I miss ballet so much. Hearing the live piano and seeing the performing? I’m crying a little inside. OK, sadly, it’s almost over, so let me get back to it!
