Yesterday we went to our first playdate. It was more like time for the moms to talk about stuff, but the kids did play, although not together. Fine by me, as long as Blake was busy. He found lots of fun toys to play with at the home where we went.
The other moms there were really nice and not all "my child is brilliant and he is only 2 and reading at a 4th grade level and blah, blah." Well, there was one mom there a little like that, but she felt entitled because she has 2 kids and everyone else only has one. So she felt like she knew everything. Oh well, she was mostly nice anyway.
We were supposed to go to our stroller strides exercise class yesterday too, but on Monday night, there was a teeeensy little bit of snow (I'm talking like less than 1/2 inch at our house) and they cancelled, yes cancelled school. So, since our class goes along with the school schedule, class was cancelled too. It was ridiculous. There was nothing on my street- not even ice. And I had one really lame excuse from a student about why they couldn't come to their lesson. Text message from student- "my mom and I saw a car flip this morning and she doesn't think she wants to drive all the way to your house this afternoon for a lesson." LAME!!! This message came at like 7:30am and the lesson time wasn't even until 3:30 and if you know anything about Albuquerque, then you know any ice that may have been there (even though there wasn't much) was melted by like 10am.
And another student couldn't come because he left his saxophone at school on Monday (heaven forbid people take their instruments home and ....practice...eee gads....) and since school was closed, he couldn't get his horn. I was tempted to tell his dad that whenever he comes to his lesson he spends over half the time talking and so he may as well come and we'll just talk, but I didn't have the heart to rat the kid out.
