Yesterday while I was in the kitchen and the kids were at the table eating lunch, I started to do what I have dubbed the "School Tomorrow" dance. All Mom's know this dance (OK, maybe only the cool Moms)! This is a Universal dance that NEVER goes out of style (unlike The Twist, The Mashed Potato, etc. - yes, Mom, they ARE out of style) :)
The kids were laughing at me and rolling their eyes - they've seen this dance before. And because I was really in the mood, I started singing the "School Tomorrow" song with my dance. This is also a Universal thing - but the words are different depending on the Mom. But a quick version is:
Guess what tomorrow is?
The best day ever!
It's Back to School day!!
I LOOOOOOOVE Back to School day - don't you?! (the kids usually scream NO at this point)
Again, you make up your own words. You make up your own tune. The point is to make it really, really silly!
So ANYWAY, I'm doing my dance and my song and Livvy looks at me and says:
"Mommy, you love Rainy Days too!"
Yes, I do.
What a funny little girl!
So my point to all this is that I am having one AMAZING day!!! Here is why:
Bret went back to work today (3 weeks off - he teaches).
The kids are at school.
I got 6 coupon inserts in the newspaper yesterday.
I took a little nap cuddling with Livvy while she watched cartoons this morning. (2 things with this one - nap and cuddling)
AND it's raining!!!
What a great day!
Now each of you Mom's out there - stop what you are doing right now. Stand up and do the dance with me! Ready? Go!
We need to celebrate each others' "moments."
And yes, I really DID get up and dance - did you?! :)
I hope you all have a Danceable day!

I danced with you, Steph.
I'm dancing!! Yes, it was nice. We had some terrible storms this last weekend and more on the way, but it was a sunny day today. (A little chilly) Kimberly and I went shopping most of the school day. It's her favorite thing to do. I only like it when I find good sales and items are in stock. Happy Rainy Day!!!!
I danced w/ you! Now Dad is looking for a place to commit me. He may choose yours.
I really wouldn't dance w/ you knowing what I know now. Children grow up and move away way too soon, so now I would enjoy every moment w/ them even the WYOMING ones.
And who are you to knock the dances of my day--this coming from the generation that is bringing back the 70's style, so let's not talk of taste or style--only those out of the loop DON'T do the Twist, Mash Potato, etc.
I do the dance now when my kids are coming home!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But my kids are to young to go to school... :0(
I know that song & dance! AND THE RAIN! (I have a theory on that - see my blog! LOL!)
It's so nice to have back to school, isn't it - I dance every Sunday night! LOL!
