Oh life...you crack me up!

I Can Do It!  It's nice when you can sit back and realize things!  For me, the thought of not having rehearsal on Friday nights is a game changer!  It's crazy!  The thought of being able to be home after a week of other rehearsals, working full time, and subbing at dance...is just amazing!  My entire attitude changes!

I love choreographing shows...but having to create dances that are cool dances is very stressful!  Now, I feel like teaching dance would also be stressful...but when you do that...you only need 1 really really cool dance.  The recital dance!  When you choreograph you have to come up with so many different "cool" dances...because each dance has to be somewhat cool for the kids that are in that specific dance!  The other thing that is hard with choreographing shows is that the level of talent that might be in a show ranges from never even heard of dancing to So you think you can dance!  Where as in a dance class- you have levels.  So, while they might be the worst kid in level 6...they are still a level 6!  Not a level 1 in a level 6 class.  I'm not sure why this got off on a "whats easier teaching dance or choreographing" because they are both tough and you have to be an amazing dancer/teacher to do both!

When I started that, my point was to say that I'm almost done choreographing 2 of the shows!  I am done (unless they ask me to do something else) with one show and only have one number left with the other!  Yahoo!!!  Then my third show begins and I should be done with that middle of Feb!  I'm so pumped!  Here is what I came up with today:

7 more rehearsals until Bye Bye Birdie Tech week...and 11 more Bye Bye Birdie rehearsals total!

9 more rehearsals until Chitty Chitty Bang Bang Tech week...and 16 more Chitty Chitty Bang Bang rehearsals total!

11 more rehearsals until Adams Family Tech Week...and 20 more Adams Family rehearsals total!

With this news...I can look at my schedule and say "I can do it!"  I can get through this crazy time...and I know that February is going to feel short with Conferences...and my class!  So, I'm bearing down...or is it baring down?  I'm basically going to plant my feet and get to work on life!  Once these shows are done, it's smooth sailing until Summer Break!  Ha ha ha!

Other News:
So, in December, we decided that I should go off the pill.  It was a very exciting and nerve wracking time as well.  Our original plan was to go off the pill in the spring, but with the excitement of my sisters pregnancy...it got moved up!  The good news is...is that if I don't get pregnant yet, it's not the end of the world yet.  Over all...later in the spring would be a better time for us to start (meaning a better time for the baby to arrive), but it's all good in the hood!

The weird thing is...is trying to not be crazy about it!
1. I'm still not sure exactly when I ovulate...or if I am for that matter.  Ha ha ha!  While my head says, let's go out and buy a months worth of ovulation tests...my heart says...give it time!  Ha!  So, I am not going out to buy those...for the moment!

2. I have an ovulation calendar!  Amy...that is you being crazy!  But I'm trying really hard to not "force" an experience with the husband!  I really want to look back and say "It was a very romantic night" not...well my head hurt, but we did it anyway.  Ha ha ha!  Plus, I really like entering the information in...it's fun!  I'm a nerd like that!

3.  I'm not going to buy stock in Pregnancy tests either.  If I can "refrain" and only use 1 or 2/month...I will good about myself!  Ha ha ha!

I can totally see how sex could be a chore vs. fun!  I can totally see how frustrating it can be to not get pregnant for years.  I can feel some of that tension inside myself...which means I'm taking things too seriously...so I can tell myself (at the moment of only trying for 2 months) to take it easy!  I can see how upsetting it can be to see that EVERYONE on Facebook is pregnant...just like when I wanted to get engaged...everyone else was getting engaged!  It all makes sense!  I myself, just need to continue to take a step back for the next few months...to just enjoy this time with the husband!  To get over my crazy schedule...and become more of a normal schedule type of person!  To get our living situation (moving in June) and our money situation in the best possible place it can be...and then just live life!

So, there you have it!  I figured I should write about it...since:
1. I think about it a lot (wanting to be a mom since I was a kid...makes it rough)
2. I'm just so excited to start this journey with my hubby!
3. Only my mom and sisters really read this blog...and they know all of this stuff already!

Okay- I'm out to eat lunch!
