Today was the last day of Kooky’s dance class and her demonstration, and she bombed horribly.   Let me quickly say that I don’t care, and I know why after she loved the last few classes so much.   We had a lot of people watching, as did the other kids and they are just tiny little girls.   We had us, both grandpas, one grandma, two aunts, one uncle, and two cousins alone there.   I think this distracted Kooky a lot.   Maybe it was just not her cup of tea today either.   I will not feel guilty not signing her up for the $75 September class, as I know how fast it will fill up, and the timing and finances are bad right now for my family.   We’ll focus on the move instead and take her to her cousin’s soccer games and see what she thinks about that, being that she told us she wants to play it.   She just seems more sporty to me sometimes, despite her parents severe lack of skill where sports are concerned.   Afterwards, part of the group headed to McD’s for a cheap and enjoyable lunch.   I didn’t want to go to a sit down place and spend a bunch of cash, and neither did anyone else.   Kooky had a ball with her cousins and ran her legs off and got into a few of the structures.   We brought her home and his parents stayed and chatted for awhile.   She went into bed much later than normal and is still sleeping at almost 6:30.   I’ll go and fetch her soon, but it is Saturday and no real biggie.   We took a nap too, and J is still sound out.   We might not see him again tonight and we are supposed to go shopping.
His parents might join us for a local county fair tomorrow afternoon.   The big state fair is also here, but it costs a lot of $$$ and I really do prefer the smaller ones.   This one is free to go to other than rides, food, etc.   Kooky won’t cost a lot and it’ll be fun to walk around and see animals and stuff.   It will get us out of the house anyway.
We took his parents and D and her family by the half plex to see the outside today and everyone liked it.   I got excited thinking about the move.   We are vowing to toss some stuff, but J and I both have a way of hoarding.   I did go through my make up and nail polish.   I tossed about 3 walmart size bags away and I am down to about 10 polishes that aren’t 50 years old and a small drawer each of foundation and brushes, eye shadows and other products, and lip products.   Such an accomplishment for me!   I am a big girlie girl.   Now I need to go through clothes and bag up some for a garage sale/consignment/donation even though we will be getting a walk in closet at the new home.   I want to make the space work well.   We will do fine but the packing seems like it’ll never end!   We run out of boxes faster than we acquire them.   I got about 10 boxes from a fellow Avon lady today.
J’s bro said he’d help with the move, and D said she’d ask her teenage nephew and niece as well.   Hopefully, J can get back to work in time to feel comfortable asking a few guys there for a hand.   With a few strong men around, it will go quickly and we’ll be hanging out eating pizza while the sun is till out!  
I am going to attempt to wake up hubby and the munchkin.   We all need to sleep tonight too.
