17 thoughts from the dance waiting room

-

 Lil Momma has some ad hoc dance classes (during tech week for her show?!?) to learn her competition lyrical duo, so I thought I’d live blog my mental tangents from here in the waiting room…


I’m usually in my pajamas right now 


Tomorrow is a half day of school


7:15pm is so late to be out and about 


I hope the costume I ordered for this fits 


LM looks like such a big kid <<internal sob>>


The dog is probably going to give me a guilt trip when I get home 


There’s the other mom asking if I can bring her kid back; oof, night driving to strange houses


Do I have anything for lunch tomorrow?


Tomorrow is a half day of school


I wonder if it will be warmer tomorrow 


I wish I brought a snack. Or a water. 


We need to be at dress rehearsal by 3:45 tomorrow which means we need to leave at 3:30 which means I need to get her ready at 3 which means I need to leave the office by 2:15 at the latest which means I need to leave the office by 2 at the latest because  busses


I hope the Mr is having fun at darts


I wonder if LM will sleep after this 


Tomorrow is a hair wash day so I better set an alarm (and a backup)


I hope I left a light on for the dog 


Tomorrow is a half day of school



I hope everyone is having a good week! Happy first day of spring!

    I was just thinking that on Friday I should write a Five for Friday post, but I honestly don't have five things to write about and here you are with seventeen whole things, each of which could be a whole post!!

      I am so full of random thoughts - but coherent posts seem so far haha, sigh! Five for Friday's either come so easily to me (ALL THE THOUGHTS) or I get through 2 and then freeze completely...

    Late night kid activities are the worst!!!!! My kiddo has an activity lately that goes until 8:45 and I hate it. HATE. Thank goodness it's just once a week.

      8:45??!?!? That is SO LATE! I could do that once for something special, but props to you for committing to that on the regular with everything else that comes from being a person and a parent.

    Yep- I also hate those late night activities! i also hate driving to strange places in the dark. This is all very exciting though- maybe more so for LM than for you. (On a random note, I'm wondering why March 20 was a half day of school?) Is the show this weekend? Good luck with everything!!!

      Sigh, I am so behind on comments. March 20 was a half day because of parent conferences. You could either go Tues after 5pm (which is what we did - I just had LM wear headphones in the hall) or on Wed from 12-5, which just doesn't work for us with our work schedules and me being in office on Wednesdays. Luckily, BOTH the conference and her wild weekend went well!

    This is how my brain is "working" right now, too. I can completely sympathize, except that I would have been asleep in the waiting room at 7:45 pm on a school/work night. I mean, come on, people. Sigh. Hope you all made it to performance weekend relatively unscathed.

      We rallied! (Well, I can't say that my brain is thinking coherently, but we are doing our best, haha!)

  I am having one of   those work weeks that just beat you up . Vague asks that do n’t make sense, changing timelines and details, being behind the ball but not having any way to get ahead… Sigh, this is not when I shine. However, I had my personal pity party last night and am trying to let the stress go and do what I can do with what I have when I have it.   For this week, I wanted to ramble away about  Lil Momma’s audition for a special production class  at her musical theater school as it took up most of our energy last weekend:   Lil Momma went in strong on Saturday am and was so ready with her bit of song and good attitude. With both us knowing more than half the auditioners would NOT make it in, I tried to balance my car ride pep talk with real talk ride to the studio, for sure.    When I picked her up, she was devastated, unfortunately, because a bunch of the younger kids and some of the competition team kids had gotten a callback for that ...

to chop or not to chop?

  This was the first week with everyone a certain level and above   going back into the office on Tuesdays and Wednesdays   and oof, it was a lot. I have been going in on Tuesdays and Thursdays for well over a year – the Mr thought I should get out of the house more and the change in scenery and ability to “leave” work did me good – but, this change of energy with so many people and so much noise and all the wild energy and feelings coming off everyone about the change was exhausting…   …and, then there’s my hair.   My hair washing schedule worked really well with my Tues / Thurs in office days. For context, I have curly hair down barely to my shoulders. I treat my curls with fear and respect. I try to only wash my hair 2-3 times a week as not to wash all the $$ I spend on dyeing it down the drain and not to dry out my curls. On days where I don’t wash it, half the time I end up spraying it down with water and recurling it (even though they don’t look amazing, i...

One  It’s a chop, but not a wild one! And, an explanation (which was more of a win, haha!)… I had gone to the same place to get my hair done for 10 years up until 2 years ago. When they dyed my hair, it would burn my scalp and I’d get a rash on my forehead and ears, but they said it was just because I was sensitive. Apparently, the dye was too intense chemically and impacted my curl pattern as well. SO, my stringy, knotty, gross ends were the damage from those years, while the hair above is healthier because of the better for me dye I get at the place I have now.  I HAD 2 DIFFERENT CURL PATTERNS GOING ON ON THE SAME STRANDS OF HAIR?!?!?!  No wonder it / I was a mess. My mind was blown! I told her to cut off all the damage and am so much happier with it. Though, it still doesn’t work for day 2 in office, so I guess my next adventure will be to see if my roots stay mostly bearable if I’m washing my hair 2-3 times midweek…   Two  Next week is school vacation here....
