The Longest Days

    Well, I'm not quite out of the woods yet.  It's been a loooooong week.  I'll work backward:

    It's finals week as you know, I finished most of my essays and took my only physical written final this morning.  I still have one more paper due by Friday.  It was supposed to be due tomorrow but I got an extension.  Plus graduation is this coming Saturday and there's also a party following the ceremony at my house, which sounded like such a great idea two months ago.  There's so much to do to get ready and it's probably going to rain.

     Anne's memorial was this afternoon.  I won't get into details but to say I was drained would be a massive understatement.  I had to go to work directly after so I was exhausted, sad and impatient.  I also have a pretty bad cold, or as Dr. Crowley calls it: "The Creeping Crud".  I'm lucky I haven't been knocked flat on my butt yet.
   
     I've slept a total of 3 hours in the last 72 hours.  Yesterday was the dance recital; it was crazy, chaotic, exhausting and totally awesome.  I have some insane scratches from the sequins on my costume and my legs are pretty stiff today.
     I was walking one of my little students to the backstage area and another girl, about age six or seven, stopped me to ask if the little girl was my daughter.  I laughed and informed her that no, I was not her mom.  I jokingly asked how old she thought I was, to which she responded "Like...forty?" -__-
     My little Pre-K II group all thinks I'm fifteen but that's what happens when you're four years old, I guess.  I'll take fifteen over forty any day.  My own class's dance went super well...the second and third time, anyway.

     Ellie's bridal shower went well; post on that to come soon, I promise.  We were trying to plan the bachelorette party but I started feeling overwhelmed because we couldn't agree on a plan and

    Friday night was Dana's band concert; she did an excellent job and her solo went very well!  I was very proud.  Even though attending the annual POPs concert always means running into parties I don't like talking to or seeing, but it's worth it to see my baby sister perform.

     I'm finally going to get to sleep tonight.  I am so excited that I... .... Zzzzzzzzzzzz
