Updates

Thanks for the kind, comforting and all-around good-thoughts yesterday. It helps so much to be in the company of good women who can lend an ear, an eye, a comment, or private email during uncertain times. I feel surrounded!
I needn't have worried about a thing Friday night. The Middle School dance went off beautifully! The kids were amazing - well behaved, dressed appropriately, no "space" issues. I was very proud of all of them! Kathryn's (pink top) dance card was full - it was precious seeing her dance her first slow dance ever. The young man had asked her on Monday! They all dance arm's length apart - sort of like Frankenstein.

The DJ was a hit. Only one song snuck past the censor (me) and even though it was the clean version (something about Helen Keller) it slipped past me. It was quickly removed. I'm stupid just not that stupid!
In Secret Kitty Lair news, this situation was quickly corrected yesterday and the Queen has been restored to her rightful throne. A coup has been averted.

Whew! Glad you survived the dance!!

Oh oh, Tig, you're living on the edge there... We've been having some kitty dominance drama, too - May's been taking over the IKEA kitty bed and upsetting Chaos. Of course, if I buy a 2nd one, no one will touch either.

Thanks for some insight as to what I have to look forward to with my 10 yr old son.... I treasure these innocent times right now.

Maybe you need 2 baskets?

There is clearly something in the kitty water these last 2 weeks and I didn't put it there. The kitties at my house have taken crazy to a whole new level chasing each other all over with Benny eventually leaping to safety. Jack is fat and not a good leaper; hes usually out of breath by the time Benny ends things. Harley watches it all with fascination.

Glad the dance went well!

Hee, I'm picturing a bunch of Frankenstein's monsters dressed up and dancing.

Oh Tig - you are obviously not aware of the natural order of things....

Glad the dance went well!

Uh oh, it looks like you may need a second basket.

I'm glad the dance went well. Do you suppose Hannah and her boyfriend will be dancing at arm's length when they go to the prom on Friday night?

Kathryn's pink top is really cute.

You may need to get two baskets.

Did Operation Bugles go smoothly?
