Monday June 26....
...........Aundrea's glasses finally arrived.. .. the recital is over, school is out, dance is out, the dance camp is over and also the parade...... so now we have 2 weeks and it all starts again!! She did very well in the recital. She had a ball changing costumes and she is such a little ham. I was not thrilled with her Jazz teacher tho... she put jazz I with the ballet I kids and did a TISKET A TASKET and NO STRINGS ON ME from Pinnochio... and had the girls dressed like Dorothy from WIZARD OF OZ. Didn't make sense and Aundrea was way ahead of the ballet I group. For the summer she is moved up to jazz III because of the timeing of the class. I don't want to spend the whole day or week in Port Orchard. So I talked to Erin who teaches the class and she said she would do fine. She will stay Ballet III for the summer but move up in the fall to IV. She is also taking tap and of course performance. They called for tryouts for performance and none of us asked so we took the girls and had them try out again..... Erin said they didn't have to cause they were already on the team. We didn't tell the kids that tho.
.............I committed the sin no grandma is allowed to commit. I forgot it was Tiarra's birthday. I had gotten her presents but we were so busy Saturday that I totally spaced it off. So we caught up with her last night and she was happy. I still have to make her another dress but had lost her measurements so I got them again and will get her done.
............Saturday we drove up to Sequim ( Discovery Bay actually) and attended a presentation by Trend West and got a free trip to San Francisco, air fair included. I love that cause I have a cousin down there and will hope they are available when we decide to go. Last time we went to a Trend West deal they were so vile and rude I swore I would never go again. This time they were very nice. WE did NOT buy in and they were still nice and polite. We came back just in time to pick up Eileen and go to Port Orchard for the Fathoms of Fun parade that the Dance Gallery kids were in. They did great with very little time learning. This was the pay off for the dance camp which I believe benefited the Major Motion Dance Company. It was company dancers that taught the camp. I watched them in the parade and kept thinking.... this cost her mom and dad almost $100 bucks and she got a tee shirt and was in the parade?! But they really loved it. Her friend Luna went too and she was NOT nearly as thrilled with dancing the parade route and then walking back to the starting point. We met them with Luna's mom as they were coming back. Janet looked about done. Luna was not too thrilled and Aundrea was ready to go again. Many of the groups in the parade tossed out candy and stickers and other treasures. The girls got some candies and Luna caught a pen and was thinking she was really cool when one of the guys from that group came over to Aundrea and said she looked really cute in her make up and gave her a huge spiral notebook with a holographic cover. I think Luna was just a tad green.
.............Or momma cat and kittens are ready to go but we got a call fromt the foster cordinator and they had distemper in the holding area the other day so they are not bringing any of the babies in for about 2 weeks. The babies have only had one shot so would still be suseptible (boy is that spelled wrong?) . They are taking over the house now. They run all over and there were all 6 of them curled up on one kitchen chair today. Some were hanging over a tad!!

June 13,
........We have just spent a good part of the afternoon cleaning cages for the silly guinea pigs and the rats... and Thomas the Hampster. What a messy bunch they are. Thomas just freaks when he is out of his cage... as far as he is concerned NO human ever needs to touch him or clean his mess... just feed him. He has red eyes and I think it is a CUJO thing. The 2 baby guinea pigs seem to feel the same way... only they do scream to be fed, alot.
.......Aundrea still does not have her glasses. I called and they said there is only one lab for all the state insurence glasses. Now is that a bunch of bull houie or what? She needs them to read and is falling behind. So she has to go to summer school, which will do her NO good unless the stupid glasses get here. That is my latest peeve against the state. I have many more but that is the one we are dealing with now.
..........Yesterday was Lynn Congdon Woodward's graduation from OC. She has a associate degree in what I can't remember. She had to go back to keep her job for the school district. Now you have to have a degree to be an aide and tend to bratty kids on the playground. Anyway, she is now driving a BIG bus. This is Lynn who is 5'1'' or something. And who has MS. She takes chemo for it once a week and keeps on working and raising her 2 kids. Gary turned out to be MUCH more helpful then any of us ever expected him to be.
.........Friday night after class, Aundrea's teacher, Erin, came out to talk to me. She said that any time Aundrea feels ready she should be auditioning for Pacific Northwest Ballet in Seattle. She also said not to pay for any classes there cause if they want her (and she feels strongly they will) they will pay for the classes. Somehow I don';t think A is ready yet but we will look into the audition schedule and see if she can observe..... Erin said to let them get to see her and know she is out there. Now the problem is , neither me or Michelle are the stage mother type so if that is what it takes the kid is doomed. But we will do the conventions and see how she does. She did really well at the first one and there is another thing comeing up at our studio this summer with Manhatten Transfer?, I think. We had promised her she could just do tap this summer but it seems that performance team will go all summer so she has to keep on doing the ballet, jazz and performance. So I guess her Dad and Mom decided to add tap for her. So far it appears that I will only have to spend 2 days a week at the studio.
..........This Saturday is the recital and I have a doll I want to dress to sort of match the girls' costumes for Ballet, to give to Erin. Of course this is Monday night and I need to have her done by Saturday............ well maybe if I hurry. So this is me hurrying... in between court and porcelin class and dance classes and dress rehearsal the show. I will let you know if Erin ever sees the doll!!

.........Wednesday is the day Aundrea gets out of school early so we took her to Costco. She had to go to the bathroom so I took her. We were in adjoining stalls and I could hear music. Very pretty music. So I said to her, "do you hear that music?" She said, "it sounds like your phone". The music was Waltz of the Flowers, I said to her " someday you will dance to that". Next thing I said was THAT IS MY PHONE!! I wondered when Costco began playing music to shop by! Of course then I could not get to my phone. By the time I did it had quit. I looked at the missed call and it was Matt. So I called him back to ask what he wanted and he said " to find out where you were". Well he did want something else too but I have forgotten what that was.
.............Yesterday Himself and I went to pick up our prescriptions and stop at Home Depot. Got the meds, got some groceries then went to HD. Himself went off to pay the bill while I went to the paint dept to see about paint for the bedroom. I am still undecided. So I guess it will be tan and brown..... I got a roller and a couple of brushes and Himself got some corner thingys for the wallboard. We go to check out and have to use the damn self check out. This annoys me because it always takes longer and involves more people than to just go to the regular line. Himself is having a time. The corners don't have prices on them, someone has to be called to find them. Then it is time to pay and for some reason he is takeing a long time. When I ask why I get a look that says I should just go away. Finally we are out of there. Outside he tells me he cannot find his HD card. Must have left it when he paid the bill. Ok, so he goes back to talk to the checker. I got to the car. I wait for what seems like forever. Finally he comes out...... NO card. She doesn't even remember he paid the bill. No, she did not report the card as missing, etc. I am going to call the store when we get home and speak with a manager. As we get home I got to open the door, carrying the HD bag. I glance in it and THERE IT IS!! He apparently had the card and the brushes in his hand when the stupid machine was yelling about "stuff in the bagging area"!
...............Now we are at home and have had dinner and he is feeding Cleo and Nick. He asks me if I put Cleo's insulin in the fridge. No, never saw it. Well we do not have it. It is on my reciept. So I call Albertson's and explain we don't have it but the paperwork for it is here. She says yes it is still here in the refridge. BLAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.
............Well on the upside I did get Aundrea's hand me down dance costume made over for her. It had a top with long sleeves that was leopard print and she didn't like that at all. Has a wonderful longer than usual black chiffon skirt tho. So I simply removed the sleeves. Now she loves it.
.............One more dumb thing..... must be our week. Yesterday I sent Aundrea to school with a couple of cough drops in an envelope for the teacher to hold on to. NOPE! NOT ALLOWED! So do they call me? NO they call Michelle at work. Of course she has no idea. My sin I guess was in asking. I should have just put them in her pocket. So the Teacher said to send some hard candy and she will keep it at her desk for her. Tried that today.... hope it works. I also sent MY phone number so if you see in the news.... Grandma Arrested for Passing Drugs in Grade School..... just come visit me.
