Off with your head! Dance til you're dead...

6th grade talent show was today, and even though the title of this post was not a song performed in the show - it's stuck in my head.  I LOVE my kids. Love them. At the beginning of the year I made a point to know all the girls names in the school, and the boys not in my class just came with time.  Now that it's the end of the year, I am so glad I took this approach to school.  I know it's a little different, but I wanted to invest in those girls.  And turns out, that's also my downfall because while I got to know them and hopefully be a positive influence, it'll break my heart when they leave!

Some of them performed in the talent show (there were some great acts!) and now I am just reflecting on this whole year...all without a roommate.  J has been gone since Sunday to East Asia and will be back next Wednesday - CRAZY!  Life is still in the air which is also not helping since I don't really know how to approach the last day of school (next Friday).  Do I savor the moments with the 6th grade kiddos because they'll be leaving and I'll be staying?  Or do I savor the moments with the teachers because I will be moving to another school?  Or do I savor it ALL because I won't be there and I won't be here.  Unpredictable isn't all it is cracked up to be - but I'll be trusting that it'll all work out.  Sooner rather than later hopefully! ;)

Watching The Holiday while I write this or even while I'm thinking of this isn't too helpful either - brings back those England memories.  Have I told you lately that was the best decision ever!??!  And I'll remind you that I happened upon that decision in August and left 4 months later.  I still think that's the craziest thing ever if I really think about all that entailed.  So spur of the moment.

And ever since I've been living that way, enjoying the ride.  So crazy how you can change so much in less than 5 years.  Ok well that's that.  Just updating you since it's been a little bit.  Sorry it's a novel!

Check this out, it's the dance I'm talking about on YouTube.

I hope if I have kids that I have a girl and she is an all around athlete including dance...especially dance.  How crazy is that?!?!  But seriously aerials are legit.
