DDA Chapter 27

[PNO4TE]

Good morning, DDA!

Beth - Your seniors sound like mine! I have two recitals left for the year; they are both senior recitals and are on Sunday. I have requested bios and a list of all the pieces being performed from all 4 of my seniors. I have received a complete listing and bio from one child. I received a bio from another, but no listing of the pieces he is playing. They other two have sent me nothing. I told them it took a while for me to put together something like a senior recital program and that I did have other things to do in my life. Hopefully today will bring three emails with the required information!!

Good luck with getting those, Elin! It is frustrating, because there are other things that need to be done (as you very well know), and carving out time based on other people's schedules is not always easy. I know that the seniors are also incredibly busy right now and very ready to just check out, but these last things need to get done.

Terry-I'm so sorry about Hal's job. I just don't understand why employment has become so heartless. At our company I know folks aren't as productive as they could be because they are all so stressed that they will be in the next round of layoffs. And we aren't laying off because we have to but rather because they can get away with it in this economy. So disturbing!

Elin-hope you got what you needed today from your seniors!

Beth-hope your concert tonight was better than the one I went to.

Deb-yikes so much tragedy close to you. Hope the new job is working out well.

Tia-hope camp is working out well.

Vicki-belated anniversary wishes! Can't wait to see what you're sewing!

Debbie-how's the wedding planning? when is the wedding?

Tammi-Boston still has Duck tours. Last summer I saw a really cool one:

My kids still have a bit of school. Lizzy & Joe have a 1/2 day Thursday the 23rd but Emma has a full day and then she also has to go 1/2 days Fri & Mon. Monday is the start of swimming lessons so I think DH will take her to those and then bring her to school for an hour or so to say good bye to her teacher all her friends.

Good morning.

Bernadette - I LOVE that Duck Tour!!! What a cool boat/bus/duck thingy.

I'm looking forward to the weekend. I'm working a half day today and then Alyssa has dress rehearsal tonight from 6-9. Saturday and Sunday are her shows, so she is excited. Four dances, four costume changes, four different hair styles. I remember back in the old days when it was just one dance, and I had to help her with her costume, hair and makeup. Now it's just drop her in the dressing room and go. She's growing up.

6 more days...........

Good morning, DDA!

All but one of my seniors came through with the things I need. His excuse? As he was working his computer "suddenly got a virus" and he had to shut it down and move to his mother's computer and start over. That sounds extremely flimsy to me! I plan to do the programs today. If I don't have his info he will be the only one not on the program!

Good for you, Elin! I didn't get a message from one girl, though she had given Laura a photo. The girl that was missing the photo gave Laura a strange one from a prom photo booth with other people in it, but we used it. The one without a message just has a blank spot that I threw a couple of sticker into. I don't feel bad, because I gave them plenty of time and plenty of reminders.

The concert last night was wonderful. It is amazing how much better they get by the time they get to the high school.

Now I'm helping Matthew get ready to go on a camping trip up near where his girlfriend is interning over the summer in the Adirondacks. So, I get one home and another one leaves. Guess that's just how it is now. Laura has a sleepover tonight, too, so it will just be Miles and us home. I do notice that they are never all gone at the same time. Is that or ?

Tammi, I am sure that Alyssa will do very well at the recitals! It is so nice when some of that responsibility for costume changes is off of you, isn't it?

Have a great day, DDA!

Good Luck Alyssa, I remember the dance recital days, the older they get the more costume changes, my oldest had twelve in her Senior recital.

Good morning.

It's Show Day #1

Anne Marie - yay for summer break!!

Debbie - that's a LOT of costume changes! I can see that happening with Alyssa. Every year we seem to add another class. I have a feeling next year it will be Modern, which will bring her up to 5 classes.

Beth - I'm glad to hear the concert went well!

Good Morning. We're off to a LAX tournament today. Hunter has been asked to play on a different team so he'll play 3 games. We have a birthday party for my cousin's little girl at 5 PM and Hunter has Grad Dance at 7. Not sure if we'll even try to make the birthday party as he'll need to get ready. Thankfully his pants arrived yesterday after the first attempt were way too big. These fit him to a T.

Have a fabulous Saturday!!

Tell Alyssa to break a leg (or is that only in theatrics, not dancing)! In any event, I hope that it's a terrific show day!

It always amazes me going to a high school orchestra concert, especially after going to the 6th grade one. They really do sound good. It was sad that it is over now for her, though. She doesn't own her instrument and will probably never play again.

Another very busy day for you! We actually have no real plans for the day. Laura slept at a friend's house last night, so I'll need to pick her up at some point. We had a concrete guy come give us an estimate for re-doing the front walk. I have plenty of cleaning to get done. But no real plans. It's kind of nice.

 

[PNO4TE]

Good morning, DDA!

 

[PNO4TE]

Tammi - Please tell Alyssa I am sorry I will miss this production. She is so good that I love to watch her on stage.

Deb - I hope you can get everything done today! Sounds like another busy one for you all.

 

[my3princes]

Hunter games went well. He scored a goal so that was a great way to end his season. He had been bumming as he hadn't scored this year. He is now dressed to kill in his dance outfit. I'll take a picture and post later.

Here's a picture of Hunter from tonight.

Good morning.

One show down and another to go.

No worries, Elin. Nutcracker is just around the corner. Well, at least rehearsals are.

Deb - what a smart looking young man you have there.
