J Town memories

Bagel took over our bed the other morning, made a HUGE circle of pillows and got snug as a bug. She’s quite adorable when she’s sleeping…

 

 

She finally caught me taking pictures, and said “scratch my back” we have a busy day just me and her.

Since we had the Snomaggeddonblizzardnadotsunami and they canceled her Jazz Lyrical class, we have a make up class. It’s at a different park district, not here in town. The city I grew up in.

 

She would NOT stop fighting with her brother, and good for us make up dance was on Tuesday, Spaghetti’s day off. So he stayed home with Weaky.

Since they were fighting we left early. I parked as far from the dance gym as possible, so we could walk and enjoy the whole place. I wanted her to see an ice rink in person.

She watches ice skating on t.v., and so what better then to feel the cold air, and see the ice.

Not thinking I would be flooded with memories, but how quickly I had forgotten that THIS ice rink is where my high school boyfriend taught me to skate, where my (still) good friend would D.J. on weekends, where SO many of my friends and I would hang out. It’s been about 16 years since I’ve been here last…

Bagel loved the bleachers, she got to touch the ice, and for the first time ever, NO one else was in there. Just her and I. After climbing the bleachers (3x’s) and touching the ice. She then grabs my hand doing the excited dance and says “Thanks for taking me to the ice house, this is nice, you and me”

 

 

Then we walked through to see the new addition, the fitness gym was above us, and looked amazing, but in the hall way below, outside of the indoor pool had the coolest furniture. Funky chairs, and this wavy bench that Bagel loved.

We finally made it to the ‘munchkin land’ as they call it. Where they have preschool, kindergarten and special classes for kids.

Bagel had a great time during the dance part of class. Miss Karen is awesome with the kids. The last 20 minutes is some sort of tumbling, or balance for the girls. This place had the COOLEST set up (according to the girls)

 

The climbed, jumped, rolled and hopped their way through this.

 

 

(roll like a crayon Miss Karen says!)

They also practiced summersaults. Bagel took tumbling when she was 3, so she knew the basics, I was exhausted watching them, they did SO many rounds of summersaults, I lost count!

What a fantastic day with Bagel and I, we spent the morning just us girls. Saw new things, old memories and made some new ones of our own!

Preschool freak out

Your wondering if my precious little Bagel is worried, freaked out, and anxious over Preschool? Of coarse not. We've filled her blonde noggin with nothing but happy thoughts.Of playgrounds, friends, and toys.

It's me that's freakin.

Let's see where do I start... I live in a small village (not like in a small hut wear grass skirts kinda village, but when a town is so small they call it a village... well you freak) where everyone knows someone who knows someone who knows something about someone.

Right, so after 7 years of either working my ass off and not being village social, and now being a SAHM and refusing to socialize with anyone. I need to peek my over dyed head out the door and play nice.

Most of the time I am a drama queen but in my own world. I HATE other people's drama, family drama, so I'm not one of 'those' drama queens, just more of a theatrical kinda person, drama queen... get it?

I'm wondering what kind of person people see me as? Just a regular midwestern average SAHM?

I like to think I'm a Rock $tar of sorts. I did once apon a time touch P!nk's hand at a concert so doesn't that make me part Rock $tar of some kind?! I would like to think so.

I love pop music, Britney, Christina, P!nk, No Doubt, and Uncle Kracker, I am quickly falling in love with Ke$ha and Katy Perry, so that give me my happy go lucky attitude. So maybe I'm more SAHM happy?

 But I'm still a Rock $tar attitude, becuase there is my love for Kid Rock, Linkin Park, and Korn. Rock music that says suck it. (putting it nicely) Ah and the music I love that ties with my bad ass attitude is my hip hop. My Missy Elliot, Emimen, Black Eyed Peas, Hollywood Undead. These all say I've got attitude, I won't take your shit, but still fun loving kind of girl?

Or my softer side of some R and B, nothing like some Usher and then just a wee bit of country. (wee bit) as in Kid Rock and Uncle Krackers version of country.

It's all these sides of me. How do I portray myself? I know, it's Bagel's school. Not mine. But I still think it's a social life for me. I'm excited to say the least about having some sort of social life. And I'm not saying I want play dates, but just the school life in general exictes me.

Haha, I guess I like the fact that I can go to school, and do the social part and not so much the homework part is what excites me!! Even though I know all too soon I will be helping Bagel with her homework.

Until then I can focus on little things, like what to wear when I do my drop off and pick up (we have to sign them in and out of school) how about this outfit...

No? Too much? I like. Very much.
