After a few days of bed rest, I was so glad to get back to school. Mom was always fussing around me, making sure I was okay, making grandma's chicken soup (hello!!! Mom! I just got a little fried, that's all. I don't have the 'flu!)
Sheesh.
Anyway, enough about that, I have some really really great news to share with you all.
I got myself a job!!!!
Yep, that's right.
I was a little anxious about telling Mom that I wanted to be a ballet dancer.
I half expected her to explode or something.
But that didn't happen.
I'd been working on my latest Science homework, trying to get my head around pulsars and quasars, when she came into my room and we had a long chat.
When I told her that I wanted to be a ballet dancer, she did initially look slightly crestfallen, but nodded her head and accepted that that was my choice.
She's so keen to see me overachieve that she had a barre installed for me.
Now I want to make her so proud of me. I warm up almost every day now, just to get into shape.
I still find that my balance is off slightly, and my feet don't quite go where I want them to go, but I'll get there.
I still love to read about Science, but I really, really, have this top dream of being a ballet dancer.
There's a girl at school who wants the same thing too, and as soon as she found out that I have a barre, she invited herself over to warm up.
Cheeky.
But saying that, she's really graceful, with a cute little tushie.
EEEP, better not let Mom see me writing this or she'll flip!!!
She's already started 'screening' all the girls that come home with me.
No Mom, I don't think she's that interested in music.Honestly, since she started her new job, she's well into interrogation.
I don't care what anyone says, Kitty will ALWAYS be my best friend.
She even sneaks over late at night, so that we can have a little bit of fun.
The best times have been winter times, when we'd just hug each other to keep warm.
Whoops, looks as though our holiday plans have been scrapped. With Mom's new job, she's finding it hard to get some vacation time in.She works too hard.
Better get myself off to school now, don't want to miss the bus.
Bye Mom, bye Dad.
Catch up with you all later.
Bye
