Something for everyone.

Last night was our End of the Year program at school.
On the one hand, I think it is something to celebrate that you are near enough the end of the school year to have a program designated for that. So cheers everyone!
On the other hand, it is, most generally speaking, the music teacher's burden to bear. That makes the culmination of the school year program kinda exhausting for me.
It turned out "Through the roof CUTE!" and was, by far, my most favorite program ever!

It could be my favorite so far because this was the very first program we've had that my son didn't need a teacher assigned to him and no one else - just in case he decided to bring down the house...
He did really, really well. I watched him out of the corner of my eye and saw how he was loving it!! How rewarding that was!

And for you photogs out there, I included a slide show in this year's program. The parents were really into that.

A's tummy bug is gone. Or is it? She threw up today, but it seemed like a gag and then throw up - less tummy-buggish. I spare no detail, do I?

THERE IS NO SCHOOL ON FRIDAY!!!!

Chris's vacation is finally over.
I am a jerk for including the word 'finally' in that sentence.
I am so completely worn out by the end of one of his vacations. It's not like he's inconvenient or anything, I would hate for my words to be interpreted that way. I LOVE spending time with him. We had a completely wonderful time together. But by the time his vacations are over, I am usually part-sad, part-glad. I am so exhausted and ready to get back into our routine!

My son will be turning 5 years old in one month and one day.
The days are long, the years are short.
I can't believe it!
He is more cuddly and lovable than ever - and I find myself having more and more adult-like conversations with him lately.
He thinks about things that are so far outside my realm, he's already beyond my mental capabilities most days. :0

I had to go to the bathroom with a little buddy today. Little A. was at work with me for part of the day. She smiled at me and said, "Momma, I love your big ol' booty."
Tomorrow's menu - Slim fast.
