This week seemed to go by fast. Tuesday was our 8th anniversary but we celebrated it by taking Sydney to her last dance class of the season, taking Eric to drivers education class at noon and then ended it with a baseball game (Charlie’s) and a T-Ball game (Sydney’s), both at 6 PM. The kids were all in bed by 10 PM but my hubby decided it was time to go to the store at 10 PM, before the store closes at 11 PM. Unfortunately, he didn’t buy anything more than milk and bread and some necessities. So, I was feeling a little let down that we didn’t celebrate in any way.
Wednesday began with dance pictures at 9 AM, which was a nightmare for me. It took over an hour and two changes of clothes and a very crowded studio, leaving me with hot flashes. By the time I got home I nearly had a migraine and was almost feeling nauseous. Eric had drivers education class at noon again and then Sydney had a T-Ball game at 6 PM. While I was there for Sydney’s game, I got a baseball right in my left ankle bone, only a bad bruise according to the doctor but it sure has been swelling and sore for a couple of days now. I did enjoy the game though. When Sydney was on 2nd base, the assistant coach, Patrick waved her to come to 3rd base and she waved back at him with the cutest little wave. What a precious moment that was! One to remember for sure. 
Thursday, we had dance rehearsal at 10:30 AM at the high school. That lasted until noon. Chuck took the kids there so I had more time to get ready but he neglected to leave the keys for the van and took the car (which is what I normally drive anyway). Nila met him there and he decided to leave her with the kids and come home, which was good for me since I had no keys and he never carries a cell phone either however it wasn’t nice of him to just dump the kids on her either. She stayed with them until I got there. Charlie was very bored but he had to be there since Eric had drivers education at noon again. Chuck did go home to get some sleep since he had to work at 5 PM and work all night. In today’s paper, the Ranger Review, there was a picture of the girls from Roses are Red, from rehearsal.
Friday morning I went to the doctor to get an x-ray of my ankle, only to find out that it is only bruised which is a good thing since I had so much going on this week. In fact, I had hoped to be a part of the community garage sales, holding one of our own and making some money on Saturday however I gave up on that idea with all that was happening. It was just too much and since the garage was left in a mess, no thanks to my hubby, and no way to pick up the rented tables and get it all done on time, I decided to put it off until I am a bit more ready for it. Drivers education class was at noon again on Friday for Eric. And for me (since it was payday), I had bills to pay and I also finally got some flowers to put in my planters out front. I will take pictures of them and post tomorrow, hopefully. We finished the day with Sydney’s dance recital in the evening. I woke up after a short nap, with Sydney asleep on top of me, at 5:50 PM. She was supposed to be dressed and ready and at the high school in the choir room by 6:30 PM. We arrived at 6:45 PM and still needed her shoes and makeup put on. Thank goodness for the room moms that were there to help. I gave Eric my camera and Charlie and told them to save me a seat and to get seats that were good for taking pictures. I ended up being one of the room moms instead and Charlie ended up running around while Eric took pictures. Chuck never did show up and I don’t know if he absolutely couldn’t come or if he just didn’t even try to work out the time to be there for even part of it. Nila had said she would be there too and arrived for the last portion of it. Sydney seemed extremely happy to see her when she got there. Sydney and the girls all did wonderful. The only complaint I have is that the recital was way too long for girls that are so young. Some of the youngest ones fell asleep before the last part of it and some of them just left early. There was only 3 left for Sydney’s group by the last part. Here are the pictures Eric took from the performance (I am lucky to have at least these few pictures)…
