less ack-uh-dee, more mom
The heat is getting to me. Stinky-hot, I think, best describes the weather here this week, though Thursday it's supposed to be 68, and I look forward to that. Hannah asked me innocently this weekend: "Mom, why haven't you turned the air on??" I answered her: "We do not HAVE air, we live in CENTRAL New York." It's hotter here than it is in SE VA right now, where the bar is set for stinky-hot.
The dance recital was nice, though the a/c was broken in the auditorium so we all sweated and stuck to our vinyl auditorium seats. Jack danced his first ballet, and I think it will be his last (he was over it in March, but we pressed him to finish the year because the choreography was heavily dependent on there being one boy in the class). Hannah was in three numbers, and she ate it up, loved it as always, and did really well. Charlotte danced in the pre-ballet with Jack, and she was quite cute.
The bad news: the vid cam decided that after the very first number it needed its heads cleaned, and the rest of the two-and-a-half hours of video are trash. B tried changing tapes and turning the machine off between numbers, but no luck. I'm very sad. Because we had the vid cam, I didn't even bring the reg cam to take pics, so I have no record of the performance. I am bummed.
Once mom leaves in a few days, I'll be able to get some stuff done. But right now, I'm enjoying the excuse to not do much of anything.
