Weekly Wrap Up | 5/7/23

Aloha friends!

Well…what a week. My daughter and I were so excited because it was ballet recital week – we’ve been looking forward to this day for a whole month. But my daughter woke up with a fever at the start of this week, then the cough came and then congestion….so….it was ROUGH. But with some warm water/lemon/honey concoction it helped tame her cough down considerably. And vicks on her back at night (she doesn’t like it on her chest), and lots of saline mist daily plus flonase. She still has congestion but it’s not drippy but so she did i – she danced her first ballet recital! I’m so proud of her and proud of my son for sitting through 2 hours of ballet lol. I was a volunteer “mom” and was placed in the dressing room with my daughter along with 27 other girls ages ranging from 4 – maybe preteens? But the biggest groups were the 4-7 year olds. And wow…was in rowdy in there. There was a mat on the floor for them to sit on but they ran, jumped, chased, climbed stacks of chairs, hid under tables, did cartwheels, ran into one another, wrestled…these were ballerinas!! 🤣 Kudos to the moms for making their hair mostly unmovable! I had to fix one ballet bun that got lose…she was the girl wrestling her friend. I’m glad no tights were torn, no sequins were ripped off….but let me tell you – I was exhausted by the end of the show and I was only with these girls for about 3 1/2 hours. There were some tears, 2 breakdowns, 1 girl who just was mostly inconsolable even when her dad came to talk to her and hug her – she refused to go to curtain call. I think it was just too much for her, poor thing. She also was getting into it with the other girl almost having a breakdown – and these girls were in my daughter’s group. Thank god my daughter was chill the whole 3 1/2 hours. She didn’t even whine for my attention, she really was amazing on and off the stage and I’m so proud. ❤️ I was dead tired last night but still had to feed the kiddos and play with the dog. We crashed early but we’re up early because we are going to a breakfast with my sister and family for an early birthday gathering for her. Then the kids have their last day at Sunday School. We are ready for a break.

I guess now that ballet is done for now, it’s on to the next. My nephew’s graduation from high school, end of the school year for everyone, the graduation party and then our trip to Okinawa. I’m hoping we all stay healthy (at least my daughter should be healthy so I have to keep my son and I healthy!).

Anyway, I hope you had a great week!
