Tonight

Day 10

It is freakin hot! Humid and hot! We live in a cape. The upstairs feels like a sauna....not kidding. It is at least 10 degrees hotter upstairs. The computer is upstairs. Therefore, as I write this I am drip

***********************************************************************************


OK....I am now at my parent's house and using their computer. Mine is not working. Most likely this is due to the heat! It went off line while I was writing but I was not aware of this bit of info. I typed  for about 40 minutes and it saved nothing!!!!!!!

So, frustrated....yes but no time to complain. I have a busy night ahead. Starts with Annie's dance recital. It will be long, hot, a bit boring at times (sorry but anyone who had ever been to one can agree) but when my little girl takes the stage for her 5 minute ballet routine I feel like I am in Lincoln Center. She beams up there. In those five minutes last  year I had floods  and flashes of memories, thoughts, feelings.....my little girl. I don't often think of Annie as having being adopted. I mean, I know it. It is obvious. But I don't go through the whole story in my head daily. Not a lot of time for that in day to day stuff. She is my kid. I love her, she drives me nuts, and I love her even more. But when she is up there with her HUGE smile and shaking her booty........I just can't believe how blessed I am that I get to be her mommy. She is one hell of a kid. My cup runneth over.

Is the night over then???......hells no people! I am off to a rare appearance of all three sisters. I am going to the city to Par-tay like it's 1999! Well...not really that crazy but it will be fun. My sisters and I don't get this opportunity to hang sans kids. We are going for a friend of my little sister's birthdays. A friend who may just be one of the funniest people  I have ever met. A wonderful reason to celebrate.

Big night ahead, must get moving!

Peace out!
