Been busy. Course I could likely say that every week. Having 4 kids means weeks are hardly ever dull or slow. Cirque was AWESOME! Absolutely awesome! Allie is going to go this weekend and I know she is going to love it. It really is too bad that the tickets are so very expensive. I know that at least Jamie would adore the show but it really costs too much to think about dragging the rest of the family to it.
Allie went to all-state last week. Number 7 in the state. I think her injury in Dec and the fact her tutor at the time disappeared really affected her chances. She made 7th pretty much with 3 weeks practice and no outside help. Pretty impressive when you think of it and if you think about it it means she may have been 1 or 2 chairs higher had she not had things go wrong. We are still proud of her and I still love to listen to her practice.
Things have been pretty quiet. The kids seem to be getting along better and other than a head cold everyone has been healthy. Lucky me, I had the worst of the cold but on the flip side I've also reached a pretty cool milestone in weightlose (at least I'm tickled about it!). It's been a few years since the number on the scale started with a 1 instead of a 2 but it does now and I'm determined to lose more and stay there. My goal... no more round me!

Been a few..
I realized that it has been a few days since I lost wrote on this thing. I suppose my mind has been busy with other things. For example, yesterday I had a wonderful class at Fort Mill Photography that last over 2 hours. The gentleman that I worked with was very friendly and very complimentary on some shots I showed him on facebook. He seemed very happy to share his knowledge of photography and I must say my nervousness about the class was quickly over and I can't wait to put into practice the ideas and techniques he shared. Photography has always been a joy for me but I had never had the camera that I could really put some time into. Now I do and I look forward to seeing what else I can get from it.
We still have not met Allie's young man. I am amused to hear that I won't have to threaten the boy with bodily harm should he hurt my daughter. It would seem her best friends have done that already. I love knowing that Ruthie and Allison love her enough to watch out for her. There may be some mothers that worry constantly while their daughters are away for any reasons but even more so when they are out on a date. I don't need to though because I know that Ruthie and Allison (my daughters from another mother!) will have her back.
Another fun thing happened just this week. Michael has been asking me to come eat with him at school so this Wed I finally did. I found it fun and amusing because my boy was surrounded by girls. Three in particualr that seem to adore him. One of the young ladies even told me they love having him in their classes because he makes it enjoyable. As soon as I left the building I had to call his father and joke with him about his son, the girl magnet. Michael likes one of the girls who unfortunatly only sees him as a friend. I tried to encourage him and remind him that he is very young still and has a good many years ahead of him to have girlfriends.
Other than all that, the most exciting news of the week is that John and I will be going to Cirque Du Soleil "Totem" tonight. Tickets for it and the gift certificate for the photography class were my presents for my birthday this year. I am very much looking forward to seeing a Cirque Do Soleil live! I've seen some on dvd and loved them. This should be a real treat!
