Save The Last Dance
Ada’s last dance class is today. At least, I hope it is today and not three weeks ago. See, we’ve missed two classes in a row. Two weeks ago, Ada had a fever of 104. Nope, not going. Last week, I had The Death. And, I forgot about class until my alarm to remind me to go 45 minutes before class went off. Then I got up and thought, “Oh, I’ll take her.” Then I felt hot and dizzy and thought, “No. Better not.” Then I pondered who I could call to take her. Then I realized that by the time I found someone due to all my pondering, they came here to get her and then drove downtown, it would be too late. Had I remembered the day before, I could have arranged it, but I didn’t remember the day before. Boo.
I’m trying Ada in swim lessons the four Saturdays in August. If she doesn’t improve in her cooperation or at least not be crying by the end of the lesson, then I’m not putting her in anymore. I’ll take her to the pool or invest in private lessons where I can at least explain Ada’s situation so we can have slower lessons without crying.
Then we have three weeks off of me not carting anybody to a lesson. Wahoo! Then we start tumbling for both her and Jay. These are on Saturday, back-to-back, so I get them over with in one trip. The big issue for me and dance lessons will be going back to work. The options of Saturday lessons were more restrictive than just being able to go during the week. Even our now late 5:15pm lesson will be nearly impossible for me to get to if I’m working in KC. I would at least have to find somebody who can take her to lessons for me if she wants to continue with more dance options.
Their last tumbling lesson is on my birthday, so I have lots of time to figure out the logistics of it all.
I hear there are great dance studios in Rochester!
and…tumbling for that matter! and swimming….AND your commute will never be more than 20 minutes anywhere!!! nudge, nudge!
