Thanks for making me a fighter...

[wishing, hoping]

Yes, OW is, well, unbelievable. And if she is so helpful and wonderful and all that jazz, why didn't OW take her to dance? Why did I have to race from work and leave early to get her there? Just between you and me, D was done early and I called H to see if he was home yet. He wasn't, so I took D to the store and poked around. H said OW was there if I wanted to drop her off. HA! I don't think so...

H also asked me about S's birthday party and when he would need to give me his half? He says he doesn't just have $100 laying around and he needs to budget that in. HA! Does he not know that I know about the bonus and the raise? Just who is he trying to kid?

I also mentioned to H that it would be nice for D to get flowers from her daddy after her performance. He said "oh yes, OW already mentioned that (insert eyeroll). She wanted to get her something and give it to D, but OW isn't coming to the performance". (Dam right she's not). I just looked at H. He asked me what I thought we should get? I said maybe a carnation or too, nothing fancy. He said OW was thinking a dozen red roses. Really? I said I think that is a bit over the top. I explained she would be on stage for maybe 10-15 minutes and that it was a 2-1/2 hour show with the New York Ballet Company and I think she would be happy with something smaller. I said we don't want her flowers to upstage the flowers the prima ballerina gets (insert another eyeroll). He said about about two roses with babies breath. I said perfect. Apparently he thought it would be good for OW to sit outside and give those flowers to D after the performance. Really? She's going to wait outside for 2-3 hours? Whatever.

So I have 45 minutes to curl D's hair and do stage makeup for her performance. She was originally supposed to be at the theatre at 6:30. They changed it to 4:00. She gets out of school at 3:05. Okay, so I have to do Shirley Temple curls and stage makeup and change her clothes. But I am not stressing. It is what it is. That's show biz. I was telling H about it and he screams "That is ridiculous!!! How on earth are you going to make that happen, WH?!?!?!?" I said, I will make it happen. I always do.

That's how I roll.
