Good morning and Happy Friday! It feels like fall here today in my part of Pa. I REALLY need to start packing for Disney, since we leave Monday evening. I work tomorrow and Sunday, 7a-7p and depending on what time I get out of work, I may not have time to do it when I get home or feel like doing it. Monday I am having a girls day with my best friend (she is the other mom, who is going to Disney with us - we go on all of our vacations together), we're going for coffee, mani & pedis, and lunch, then we leave for Pittsburgh that evening, to fly out early Tuesday morning for Orlando, so I won't have much time that day either.
DD turns 10 on Sunday. Double digits - I can't believe I am saying that myself. We are having a small get together here at the house tonight, so I need to run to the store and get a few things, including the cake. We're just having pizza. We bought a keyboard for her gift. She self taught herself the piano at my MIL's, over the last few years and now wanted her own keyboard and wants to take lessons to get better, to really be able to start playing more songs, etc. I am going to look in to that when we get back from Disney, hoping that with her already doing three group competitions for baton ( this is all practiced the same night mind you) and individual baton, plus maintaining wonderful grades, and the other stuff she does at school, it isn't too taxing for her. I want her to still be a kid. She enjoys all the things she does and asks to do it, but I just don't want it to affect her school work - straight A's is hard maintain, as I know all parents know and school is always going to be the number one priority in our household!
Sorry I carried on there for a minute or bragged about my kids if I did. I am just so proud of both them - as I know all parents are! I am looking forward to our vacation, if you can't tell. Hope you all have a wonderful day!
