Truth be told......

I have always wanted to be a ballernina

From the time I was a little girl, my sister and I would dance to the Christmas Symphony and pretend we were on stage in a beautiful production

When I worked at Little Prospector I would have the children line up, clear a path and I would do a running jumping split in the air 

Which I am sure looked much better in my head than it actually looked in person

The kids still clapped, that is all that mattered

Anytime a slow song comes on....I still break out my ballerina skills

Truth be told.....

I am not very graceful

I fall A LOT, I mean at least once a week

Some of the memorable times are:

I fell into a bush while picking up Calista and Hannah at school.  After I picked myself up in front of all the other parents and pretended it didn't happen, I hear this.....

Hannah said, "Jasmin, did you just see that lady fall?"

Calista said, "Hannah, that was my Mom, she does it all the time."

NICE!

OR the time I fell in Outback Steakhouse and took Calista down with me....

OR the time I fell at the mall walking out of Eye Masters

OR the time I fell after James threw a ball on the roof which somehow came down on my head knocked me to the ground and chipped my tooth

OR the time I fell in the rain while dancing with Calista

OR the time I fell trying to help Cassie put together the swing I brought over for Mason....

There are many more instances, but I think I should just stop there.

When I had Calista, I thought...well sure I am not a ballerina BUT I can MAKE my daughter one

Truth be told.....

It didn't work out, she prefers to swim instead

Don't worry, I am sure my dreams of her becoming a Rocket Scientist/Brain Surgeon are sure to come true.

BUT

Today, I am going to Karve

Have you heard of it?

Kelly Ripa does it, so it must be cool

It is a work-out that includes a ballet bar......

I am VERY excited

All of my dreams are coming true

In my head while working out I am going to pretend I am practicing for a beautiful production

Maria will be with me, so when I fall (because I am sure I will) I will have somebody there to laugh at me, that actually KNOWS me

Wish us luck.
