Lucky Girl

No walk for me yesterday.  I forgot M had ballet class.  I was loading them up in the car to head home when she reminded me.  It’s a good thing one of us can stay on top of our schedule.  Really, who needs a calendar when you have a kid?  Just make sure they think it’s something fun and they won’t ever forget.
We made a mad dash home to make the transformation from grubby kid to prima ballerina and off we went to what should have been an uneventful and routine dance lesson.  Unfortunately, M was in rare form and decided the very best way to spend this particular class was by making sure everyone was introduced to her pouts, sobs, and other dramatic hysteria.  There wasn’t anything wrong but she got upset over everything – I took her water bottle out of her bag, her feet were hot, she didn’t like the order of the dance line, I was breathing…  all of this was very upsetting to her. 
She’s normally a very mellow kid so I’m chalking it up to the fact that she just had a rough day and needed to cry.  Everyone is entitled to that once in a while…
Better get back to work - I’ve got to get some things wrapped up this morning because I have a very special lunch date with one of my favorites.  It’s been too long and we have a lot of catching up to do.  I’m so lucky to have such awesome people in my life.
Really, I have the most amazing friends.

I think I had one of "those" days the other days. I'm sure she is back to her normal mellow self! ;)
