Home Alone and Rambling
So I'm home alone at the moment. It's been an odd sort of week. We got a call from my hubby's aunt Lina(her husband is my mother in law's brother) that they are in NJ (they live in CA) because her brother passed away. The memorial was on Monday which I had already taken off because it was the girls' dress rehearsal that afternoon. I attended the memorial service in the morning and I felt a bit odd as I did not know the deceased and most of these people know my husband obviously and some know me because we're all from the same town but I'm terrible at deciphering family ties/trees and faces to those names ever since I was little. I've always relied on someone being able to tell me who is who from where etc. I know my immediate family and my friends, keeping track of everyone else is too much.
The girl's dress rehearsal was ok, there is such a big difference in the way Stacy dances now as compared to her dances last year, competition class does pay off. She has a tendency to curl her shoulders forward, a friend suggested I ask her Dr at the next check up if there is a slight curvature of the spine. However you can hardly see that in her perfomance on stage. :) My busybody aunt always asks why I put them into all these classes (competition) and to me I see them enjoy the experience and they improve so much as opposed to a regular class.
Work has been a bit of a hassle lately, late hours and I'm not satisfied with the quality or the quantity of what I've done yet I move on just because so much needs to be done. I don't think I'm a perfectionist really but I can see my work slipping. I think I need a few days off yet there again is the whole so much needs to get done thing. Going away for a long weekend at the end of June though, I just have to hold on til then.
Tuesday Angelica was a bit upset that I made her miss dance class as they only have 2 classes left til recital which is Father's day weekend. She was inducted into the National Honors Society for secondary schools and the ceremony was at the same time as class. I made her miss it, I think it's more a sop to my pride that her diploma will have that little mark on it when she graduates as she did not really seem to care one way or the other. I felt she should go though because she deserved it, she stays up late finishing those assignments and getting work done, if she can be recognized for it then I believe she should take that honor. *shrug* Tuesday was also Museum Mile, this is the second year I've missed it because I had to be somewhere. last year it was dress rehearsal and this year it was the induction ceremony. At least my mom brought Stacy to the Guggenheim as it's the only time of year we bring her there and she really likes that museum. More for the fact that it goes round and round really I think than the art. She did come home talking about wolves running out onto air and crashing into walls so I'm not quite sure what the exhibit was. lol
Today my busybody aunt had invited my hubby's aunt and uncle over for dinner. I had to work late so I was not able to go, which is really ok as my aunt loves to gossip and his aunt loves to gossip and I don't really know half the people they gossip about. Have I mentioned my aunt is a busybody? *eyeroll* They are all still there which explains why I'm home alone at the moment and rambling....
