Melee had a concert tonight (Chorus). Ok, so she thought she had a concert but really, she got confused and the concert tonight was for another group of kids, and her concert is not until next month. Are you all following me so far? The Chorus teacher is awesome and she's done a great job with the kids, but, well, she's not the best at communicating things. This time I think I should have followed my instincts.

For the past few months, she's been faithful about sending out calendars for the month, complete with all of the practices as well as performances. There was nothing about tonight, but Meelie insisted there was a PTO meeting, at which her group would be singing. Knowing the public school system as I do, I know that they are not the best in communication. So we went at what we thought was the appointed time, and found out that the concert that Meelie was in was not until next month.

Poor kid. She was so upset. She had gotten really excited about it and had her "uniform" on and everything. For goodness sakes, she even let me put her hair up and if you knew Meelie, that is tantamount to a do-it-yourself breast reduction. Not that she has any boobs to reduce or anything, but you get the picture.

The kids have so many activities going on with band, and dance and chorus that it is sometimes hard to keep up with. I've got a pretty good system going, in which any time I get a notice from the school, I transfer it on to the family calendar. I am running out of space.

I'm not saying that we are busier than any other family because I know that alot of you are going through it too. What I want to know is this. Will I live to see the other side?
