Recital Week

This is Olivia's recital week. The recital is Friday & Saturday (yes, two nights). I will be very happy when it's Sunday morning. I absolutely hate this week. There are so many practices, things to remember, makeup to do, and a whole bunch of chaotic kids!! Olivia doesn't like the makeup and says it tickles, so you can imagine what that is like to put on her. We have to have Mr. Logan with us Sat. night, so I will have butterflies wandering how that is going to go. It is cute and enjoyable, but I am so glad when it's done. Like I have said before, i don't like a bunch a chaos for a long period of time. That's just me, hands down.

Some of us girls are doing a "mother dance" towards the end. It is too "eye of the tiger" which is really cool, now I'm thinking, "what the heck did I agree to do!" It's easy for the little kids, they like it and don't mind the audience. We have shirts to wear that say, well mine says "Olivia's mom", it's cute, please don't screw up, please don't screw up!!
I forgot to write last time about the snake O found. Usually every year, about this time, I see a snake in our yard. Now I lived in Pa. all my life and maybe saw 1 in our yard. So I got to thinking (cause I never forget that I see them mid may or June) that i hadn't seen one and maybe I wasn't going to and my "bad" luck was going to change. Well Sat. she seen one and had to have Rich get it and dispose of it. Usually he's not here when I see them and they get away. They are usually babies and where there's a baby there's a mama. This one did not get away. I absolutely cannot tolerate a snake to save my kids' lives, one creature that could be extinct for all I care. So for one more year, the snake tradition carries on........
