Dancing Queen

Seems I missed our little weekly get together last week, didn't I? I admit, I was preoccupied with the upcoming trip to see Karin, which went off with out a hitch. (You read, that, mom? WITHOUT A HITCH.) Not one single person got sick, stranded, almost dead, or was otherwise unhappy.It was monumental. It was record breaking. It was nice, for a change. We had a fabulous time visiting Karin and her family in Oklahoma. We helped her unpack some, shopped some, ate some, a generally schmoozed like only old friends can. We even went to a couple of garage sales. I miss my Karin...





We also recently concluded Claire's summer dance classes. I think what she was most interested in was the idea of being a dancer, not so much the practicing. She just wanted to wear the costume and cool shoes.

I know absolutely nothing about dance, so I have no way of knowing if she actually exhibited any excess talent for her age, but she seemed to enjoy it.

School starts Monday, so we will see how that affects my enthusiasm for posting. As of September 3rd, all three kids will be in some form of school, and I will have two days a week by myself. Alone. With no kids.

The level of freedom I will experience has me a little giddy...
