T - 26 (I guess I was counting wrong?!?)

The body is definitely in control of the mind (mostly). Neither Andy nor I got a very good night's sleep last night. It seems that the DOT thought it was a good idea to cute down some brush on I-5 in the early morning hours (i.e. 1:00-4:00am) with an extremely loud machine, guys talking on megaphones, and lots of bright, flashing lights. I just asked Andy what time he thought they were working. He said he would describe it as the time of night when you are usually getting your best sleep. We were both able to sleep through it (mostly), but obviously we didn't sleep well. We both made it through our day, but we have both been extraordinarily tired and are more than ready for bed even though it's only 9:00pm. The last day of dance camp was today. The kids were great! I wish they had known their dances better, but what do I expect....they learned about 6 dances in 5 days! The fact that they remembered the dances at all is a testament to the power of the young mind. I couldn't even remember what I had choreographed for them most of the time. They were so attentive and just plain sweet. I will miss teaching kids classes, but hopefully I'll have a chance to get back into it later. I will be teaching 2 classes at most and maybe just 1 if I don't have enough students in my modern class. I'll just have to see what happens. Well, we really need to get some sleep. The I-5 work is supposed to be finished, so we shouldn't have any extra noise to deal with tonight. Maybe this is just preparation for parenthood. Aaahhhh!
