Year 1 semester 1 lesson 2, also know as I HATE FRAPPE!!!

A nap, a nap, my kingdom for a nap!! A major lack of sleep last night has lead to me being what a refer to as "Mombie". After dropping my Super Hero of at school this morning, ( some how we magically made it in time!) I coaxed my Super Star into "nap time". After 3 rounds of "soft kitty " and finding every stuffed animal he has, I got him to lay down. Ahhh sweet relief! Or so I thought. Not more than 15 minutes after I laid down he was in. "Mommy I brought you my kitty" 15 minutes after that "Mommy I need some water" Now mind you he's almost 5 and can reach his cups and the water cooler. So I gave up on a nap, and Mombied my way into decent clothes for the doctors appointment. Well I'm pretty sure doctors are schooled in sideways talk. Never a straight answer! As if having my Pancreas go prima donna on me and losing 2/3rds of it, as well as my entire spleen now they think my adrenals are "out of whack", yes that is what the doctor said to me. So after my Super star brought me his pillow pets to make me feel better we made the walk to get Super Hero from school, when we got there is was very empty in the area the parents wait to pic up their kids, "Am I late? I couldn't have dosed off could I?" I look at my phone and see we are not only early, we are 25 minutes early!! Well better early than late right? Our walk home was as normal, I don't know how a 7 year old who can remember going to KFC with his granddad when he was 4, cannot remember what he did in school today, but still every afternoon the conversation is the same. " How was school today?"  "Good!" " What did you do?" " I don't know." 
Get the boys settled in with snacks and games and I turn to lesson two. This lesson was quite a bit longer than the last, same basic moves, Demi plies, tondus, and ronds de jambes. Along with Frappes my friends Oh I do not like Frappes my friends, I do not like them in the least! I do not like them single or double, this fact has caused me great trouble! I do not like them fast, I like them slow even less! I do not like frappes my friends! They cause me so much stress!!! Todays frappe exercise was a slow, a simple single to the side with a hold on the extension. Cry! oh my legs burned after that and I was only half way done! My saving grace Port de bras, oh how my back needed that! Snap, crackle, pop! I sound like a bowl of rice crispes! Gentle demi plies at center floor was very calming and relaxing for me today. I got the chance to just breathe and focus my mind on one simple thing for the moment. While my balance was a little wobbly I'm lucky I wasn't doing grande plies! 
So now as I sit here by the pool in the sunshine typing this I am watching the boys ride their scooters around the complex and I'm doing my best to let go of today, gearing up for the craziness that is trying to get the boys to eat dinner, bathe, and go to bed! I may not get back to what I was when I was 18, but I will be in better shape than I am now. 2 days down, 98 to go!
