Samantha-

Do you want to continue on with dance when you are out of high school? Today I was watching reruns on VH1 of "So You Think You Can Dance". I love that show! Can we expect to see you try out one of these years?!

actually im minoring in dance in college and majoring in Graphic Arts like with advertising. hahahahahaha i actually was thinking of trying out for that show when im like either 17 or 18.

[PrincessMom2002]

Oh no not if we have anything to say about it. I will never book with anyone else other than her again..........

Kristin-

If I can, I think I'm going to try to get my moms group to book with her to WDW in 2010. It would probably be easier if we all booked with one person. Except two of the moms are coming from the UK, so they may have to do their own thing.

It must be the weather Abby, Caitlin has been running a fever since Thrusday night. Up to 101, give her some medince and down to 99, then up to 100 again, with her allergys we suspect a sinus infection. If the fever isn't under control by Monday, then its off to see her Dr.

Oh gosh I hope she feels better soon keep us posted!!!!!!!

I bet your glad the door is fixed. You must be beat from all of the work you did today!!!!!!!!!

Yup, she has impressed me, and I'm pretty critical when it comes to other TA's!

Thanks. I'm the proud dad. Her first solo. She is nine. The youngest in the whole dance school to solo. I'm sure I'm going to cry at the recital tomorrow. And when DD4 gets up on stage....oh boy!

I hope Caitlin is feeling better tomorrow! Gwynne HAS to kick this before Monday. (yeah like my wanting her to will make a difference!) She cannot miss any more days of school this year. Her highest temp today was 102.4. As soon as she hits the 6 hour mark after taking Motrin, it starts going back up. The good thing is as far as I can tell, she hasn't had any seizures this time.

Excellent plans Samantha! I do think you have to be 18 to audition for the show because today there was a contestant that wanted to try out at 17 but she was told she had to wait a year. If the show is still around and auditions in New York again, then you should! You never know what could happen.

Heck,, if she is sick she is sick do not worry about school how many days has she missed can not be more than mine taking them out for vacations!!!!!!!! LOL!!!!!!!!!!!

I do hope no seizure for you and her especially!!!!!!!!! Can you do the Motrin and Tylenol trick???

I agree. Taking one day of unexcused absence won't affect her grades. I think this 10 day rule is too strict. Only 3 weeks left of school.

I bought Tylenol last night but haven't started alternating yet since her fever stays down until time for the next dose. But I am prepared! What interval do you use? Two friends told me 2 hour intervals. But Dr. Sears says 3 hours, and I also read 3 hours.

Wow ten days only we are allowed 12....Isn't illness excused???

I do it every two hours. But then again I've always done Motrin every 4 hours not six. A friend told me a while ago that it was every six but I've never done it taht way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I bet your glad the door is fixed. You must be beat from all of the work you did today!!!!!!!!!

No too beat, but the kitchen looked like a war zone with all my tools all over the place. We played the Disney Monoploy game with Caitlin this afternoon. Killed a couple of hours and she had fun.

She was mopping around the house before that. the way any 10 yo or kid gets when they don't feel well. ( Nothing on TV, don't want to watch a DVD, music wasn't cutting it, but she lit up when I suggested we play a board game once I finsh with the door.

They get 10 days period, no matter if it's for illness, vacation, etc. Anything over 10 days is unexcused without a doctors note. Granted, if she is sick enough to miss school then she is probably sick enough to go to the doctor. This is another reason we won't take vacation during the school year again! This year has been too stressful when they are sick because they missed those 5 days for the cruise. For whatever reason, they have only counted Hayden absent 7 days, and I know full well he hit that 10 day mark in March.

Schools are just to strict about the days!!!!!!!!!!

Glad the door saga seems to be fixed. What does "This Old House" suggest for toilet paper holders? I've been having issues with mine for months now. I tighten it up, it becomes loose, I tighten it up again, and it becomes loose again! When DH was laid up from his first surgery, the darn thing completely fell off the wall! Maybe DD is grabbing on to the whole thing for dear life when she's going potty (it's almost out of her reach), or maybe I'm not putting the toilet paper roll on the "right" way. I dunno! Who knew a toilet paper holder could be so aggravating.

I sent you detailed instructions via PM This works for my boys though -
