Well, the little men in white coats have not yet carted me off to the psychiatric ward, so I must still be at least a tiny bit sane! It must be a terrible thin thread though...I can see insanity just around the corner with all the dance company paperwork there is left to finish.
Some little beavers were recently seen in the dining room sorting candles, vases, and all kinds of polka dots! Those little slaves organized everything, packed it up, and then recruited the big guys to carry everything upstairs. We can finally see the dining room table after months and months! We can't however, say that for the floor in Shyla's old bedroom. Good thing she won't be needing it anymore!
However, we have discovered that we still live in a forest with all these trees that now need a home. Dad's tigers are having a ball...guess they like the forest look! Britni's room is actually turning into the rainforest with all the dense leafy things in there. Guests beware is all I can say!
The biggest miracle of all is that there isn't even one straight pin on the floor in the sewing room...I'm scared to walk in there because I might make a mess!
We have also finished celebrating Cymbre's birthday, with the party being yesterday. Now she has some new webkins to keep her old ones company, and life is good for her.
The dance floor upstairs will be getting a new workout this year with Cooper in 17 classes, and Cymbre is close to 14 I think, haven't counted hers yet. I must have gotten a raise since they will be at the studio more, and I will be there about the same amount. Worn out tap shoes have reported that they are wanting a hook on the wall. It seems they have heard some terrible rumors that the trashman was needing some tap shoes, and now they are hiding in the corner of the closet hoping Dad won't remember them on trash day.
The little girls finished one of their duets with Mr. Lenorris today...just have to finish up the arms. He finally had the music for them, so now the noise level upstairs increases a million fold.
They both have other duets that still need to be finished, and they will be working on them next week while the studio is closed for classes. The new classes will begin on August 6. What a birthday that will be! Several hundred parents and students all asking questions at once....I think I will take a headache pill before I even go to work that day.
Dad is preparing another long trip...I hope his suitcase has better luck this time. And I hope that nothing major happens at home. I hate these 3 week things! And school starts while he is gone...GREAT! There are always problems with something when school starts.
Well, I think I will put my sleepy eyes to bed on the couch...dad is already sawing logs.
Remember I love you.

It's Monday YetAgain
Monday, July 9, 2007
Today is run around day to get ready for the wedding reception this Friday. People will start arriving on Wednesday, so things have to get done today.
We are getting the punch stuff, verifying people helping, packing up the stuff on the dining room table so it is ready to go to the church, and checking on the ficus trees that need to be picked up.
Also have to check on the cake, tux, flowers, and make sure when they are all going to be ready to be picked up later this week.
We have survived the wedding and the open house with a bit of trauma and drama, but everything seemed to go as planned. We enjoyed getting to know Russell's family, and we are anxious to see them again in Houston. The photographer says we should have the San Diego pictures this week. Thank goodness we have made it this far!!
I am running on exhausted constantly, and told Dad I just need a nap! I am going to take one when I get everyone on their way after Friday night.
The dance studio is off to a flying start on Summer classes, and Fall will be right behind. The office is finally getting a bit more organized. I have all the dance company stuff to get organized, but I will begin that this week as the paperwork is turned back in to the office. Just getting the email stuff set up will be a time consuming thing. Then the dance lists, and the directory, but since I will be the only one doing it, hopefully, it won't become the mess it was last year.
Once all the people have gone home from the wedding, and the wedding is put away, I am going to finish the stuff for the dance studio upstairs. I still have curtains, and bean bag chairs that I have promised the girls. They have been so patient to wait for the wedding to be over.
Then I don't know if I will sew costumes this year. I think I may have enough to do with keeping the office organized and keeping up with things here at home. I will do the duet costumes, but the production (Mary Poppins) I am not so sure.
Well, must get running and off to the store. Got to get the laundry started too....and make the bed, and load the dishwasher, and then on Wednesday we will clean the house.
Love you all.
