HANNAH MADE THE DANCE & DRILL TEAM!

We just found out about an hour and a half ago and she is SOOOO excited. It was kind of funny because just the other day, when I was kind of feeling sorry for her and down in the dumps, I felt peace all of a sudden and remembered the saying, "When God closes a door, He opens another" or "He opens a window". So, I started thinking, "well God, is this what You had planned for her all along?" I knew she would be blessed, but I wasn't sure what He was going to reveal. As I was saying, she wanted to try out for dance all along because she didn't quite fit in with the cheer girls (for the most part), so maybe this will be a better fit? And maybe it won't. We will just need to see. I am just glad that she will be able to get back out on the football field and basketball court with a set of pom poms again.

I go for my annual physical in the morning, so I have about 20 minutes to finish this diet Pepsi before I'm supposed to, technically, be fasting. I have been dealing with a nasty headache off and on since leaving the office at 3 this afternoon, but that didn't keep me from working another 3 hours after I picked Hannah up from dance tryouts. She skipped her karate, stunt, and dance rehearsal at the gym this afternoon because she was completely worn out and dealing with a headache of her own.

Not looking forward to the doctor's appointment, but will be glad to have it behind me. I haven't been as strict with my eating habits as I should have been over the past several months and that is probably going to show up in my blood work. It will also be there to laugh at me when I step on the scale. Sigh.

So much for having a free summer. Hannah will now have dance camp the last few days in June, but then won't have to go to practices for dance drill until after the first of August, so it's a bit less than cheer would have been over the summer. 3 days a week instead of 2 after school though, which could be a bit hairy.

I think it's a bit ironic that she made the dance team after getting booted from cheerleading for having low dance scores at the try outs. Go figure. I still believe it's more politics than anything else, but I will just leave well enough alone. Hannah's happy and that is all that matters.

Have a warm little kitty on my elbow and need to head off to see if I can get rid of the headache.
