Recital Weekend

This is such a busy time of year.  Last week I worked constantly, including substituting on a field trip Friday.  Wow!  That is a whole new ballgame for me.  It was fun, but it made me a little nervous to be responsible for 22 kids out in an open environment.  Hats off to you teachers who do this all the time. 

The highlight of my weekend was the girls' recital.  They work so hard all year in dance.  This is a chance to show everyone what they have learned.  E had two number is the recital, one ballet, one jazz.  C had one number which was a jazz/hip hop dance.  I have seen both of their dances a dozen times, at least, but there is something about them doing the numbers on stage that is completely overwhelming for me.  I started crying the moment the girls stepped on stage.  I'm such a dork.

So, now that recital is over, we are counting down until the end of school.  Four more days to go.  As of now, I am off work all week.  We still have band concert (tears), 5th grade graduation for some of my favorite kids from school (again, tears) and end of the year slide shows and award assembly (TEARS!) before Friday.  My eyes are going to be swelled up beyond belief the rest of the week. 

So, I have four days before my kids are home full time.  I'm looking forward to catching up with my favorite blog friends and planning a few summer activities and maybe reading a book and a last lunch date with my Hubby before school is out.  Sounds like a wonderfully busy week.
