What a freakin day!

First i had work from 10-2pm. I didn't end up leaving until 330pm. Not a good sign. There were SOOOO many people who came into the store today i just didn't understand it. I had made $850 in 3 hours of work...for a dance store (specialty store) thats big! And the kicker was that only 2 of the people coming in were buying stuff for competition! Since customers just kept coming and coming i stayed at work and an extra 1.5 hours!

I was supposed to pick up Amara & Yara at 330pm to take them with me to dance for 4pm...obviously we were late. I was able to pick them up by 350pm and we were at the studio by 410pm. Only 10 minutes late, not too bad.

I get into the studio and Katie runs over to tell me that Diane has given the kids a lecture about me. Apparently i am not their supplier of bobby pins, saftey pins, etc. They need to have all their own stuff...cuz apparently i get really stressed out at competition time and i don't need the extra stress about worrying over them...as if i wouldn't worry anyways!!! But i don't remember EVER saying anything about getting stressed out. I have a whole kit full of things for competition because i want to make sure everyone has everything they need! Cuz you just never know.

So then we start dancing, and everything's going well till we get to my lyrical. The first time through was terrible, so we did it again. Of course half way through the 2nd time around my calf muscle decides to seize!! So i had to run to the side. Thankfully Dena was there and was able to massage the knot out! Then we decided to put costumes on, so there was more running around with changing, handing out of the costumes, pinning, fixing, etc. As i ran around with my little box in tow, saftey pinning here, double sided taping there...i received a new nick name. According to Jonathan i am now the Macgyver of Dance. I guess the title fits, as funny as it is! We danced until 8pm...then finally were able to go home.

So on the drive home, i took Clare & Kat to McDonalds cuz i was DAMN hungry! No eating from 1pm till 830pm is NOT good. So we did McDonalds, then i drove them home and came home myself! So now i am going to sign off here, lay down on my bed, and hopefully go to sleep! The clocks go again one hour, so i need all the sleep i can get!

till next time...
