Dance mom

So my boss is still out of town. Needless to say that between the office full time and my boss' kids full time I AM EXHAUSTED! (I nanny for the same person who owns the hair school that I do compliance for.) This weekend since she is still gone I got to play dance mom. I've learned that I am not a good dance mom. Mostly because I only care to watch the only kid there I care about. Also do you know how much work goes into these dance competitions? My friend has a kid who is on a company team is in high school and dances more in a week then most people work and I now have no idea how she does it.

ANYway it all starts the night before. I had to take her in to get a spray tan which isn't to hard since I work at a hair school... the hard part is not letting her touch anything until its dry! Then set her hair and send her to bed. She doesn't sleep all night so the next morning when we have to get up at the crack of down we are both a little snippy. Fun Fact, I am really not a morning person. So we argue the whole process of hair and makeup and she gets flipped with the comb a few times because she will not hold still! Two hours (SERIOUSLY TWO. HOURS.) later she is ready.

Even though I tried to feed her this whole process she hasn't had anything to eat. So of course right as we are about to walk out the door to make the hour drive she notices she is starving. And that she forgot to take her toe nail polish off. We finally get on the road and arrive at the competition. The wrong competition as it turns out... So we ran back to the car as fast as we could because now we are just about late. Luckily at this point I knew exactly where to go.

I dropped her off with her team and spent the next three hours in the auditorium reading a book instead of watching the other teams because every single kid that comes out I think, mine is better than yours! Its finally her turn to dance. She looks so good and does so good and I couldn't be more proud of her! After a minute and a half she is done and I have to sit there for another two hours before I can finally take her home.

 I asked her what she wanted for dinner on our way back. It was just the two of us so she could have anything she wanted. She chose Taco Bell. I threw up a little bit when she said that but whatever, First place winners can have whatever they want.
