I need a pause button.  My life never stops and I need time to catch up.  Know where I can get one????  We had a nice Thanksgiving.  Some friends and their kids came over and stayed for a few days.  I love having these guys come over because they’re the type of friends that you can get all crazy around and they love ya anyway.  I have other friends but I can’t let my hair down with them.  My favorites are the ones that say “WOW!  That’s…….WOW!” and still love ya.  There’s no judging or anything just friends being crazy.  It’s the best.

Ok, we had a nice holiday.  They headed home and we decided to turn our oldest’sold room into an exercise room.   We were bringing the weight bench in from the garage and guess who forgot that the thing moves?????  Yep, me.  I set it on the floor and down it came onto my right shoulder.  Separated shoulder and broken collarbone.  I’ve been in a sling since 11.29 and have about another 3 weeks.  I have VERY little rang of motion in my right arm and very little strength.  I can touch the skin on that should now which tells me it is healing – just slowly.  Oh, did I mention that I’m right handed?  Yeah – sucks.

We leave tonight for Disney!!!  (broken wing and all!!)  This time tomorrow we will be somewhere between here and Florida.  I’m a bit nervous about the trip.  I want my kids to behave and get along but I also know that won’t happen continuously for the next couple weeks.  I’m just hoping for the best.  I have all the gifts wrapped, mail holded, food packed, clothes washed and mostly folded, and suitcases in the house to pack.  (akdoc takes such good care of me!!)  Now, all I have to do is pack everything.  These silly people think they need to bring clothes or something – weird.  Peanut is so excited to see Mickey Mouse.  Every time we leave the house he asks if we’re going to see Mickey Mouse.  LOL  Forget Christmas or cousins or other family – it’s Mickey Mouse this boy wants!  Oh!!  We got a message today that spots have opened up for us to do the White House tour while in DC!!  I’m so excited!!!!!  We could have had our own group if I just had 4 more kids.  Must work on that!  HEHEHEHEHE  So, that’s what we’re up to.  Dance tonight then off to Florida.  My honey will be MINE until January 5th!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh – side note – Princess got her first pair of real pointe shoes this week!!  They are Russian shoes and the smallest they come.  It’s hard to believe that she’s dancing on pointe and it scares me a little.  I don’t want her feet messed up but there is no sign of that.  In fact, her feet are way stronger than before so it looks like a good thing.  She couldn’t wear her prepointe shoes anymore because her feet were too strong for them.  She was going to far over and dancing that way.  Her instructor told her to take them off and NOT put them back on!!  LOL  I love this new studio.  She has come so far in the year and a half she’s been there.  Just amazing.
