My baby had her first dance recital this past weekend, and she was wonderful! I was a little worried that she wouldn't go out there and I would have wasted all that money but she did great. They published pictures in the program and we took out 3 (yes 3 ) ads and they are hilarious! One was an old picture that I had to give them because she refused to take a picture by herself. The guy that put the programs together told me he thought it was the best one! I was scared the quality wouldn't be a s good because they had to scan it. The other was one of her, my sister and little cousin HOLDING her by each hand in the middle of them to make her take her picture. She has this "eat shit assholes," look on her face that is priceless. The other is of her and my sister, and Tasha is holding her and she has the same look. lol these will be great pics to embarrass her with in 10 years. Hopefully when we get the DVD's back I can put the dances on the web somewhere so everyone can watch. Until then you can go here. My niece (N's sister's little girl) was supposed to be in the recital, but her mom decided a few months ago to pull her out. She told her mother (N's mom) that it was because Abby was being bad in class. Well, at recital practice Abby's dance teacher found me and asked me how Abby was feeling and when the doctors thought she might be able to come back? WTF...The kid isn't sick. But her piece of shit mother lied ABOUT HER CHILD"S HEALTH and told them that she was sick and having to have some kind of treatments and would maybe be able to dance next year. I was livid. I usually try to let Neil's mom have this disillusioned dream that her daughter is a wonderful person, and the reason she can't get along with anyone is that the entire world (or just the city of Mobile) is out to get her. This time I couldn't, I couldn't let her think that Abby had done something wrong to get pulled out when in all reality her mother was just too lazy to get off her fat ass on her off day and take her. She was shocked that Melanie would ever lie at all, maybe they misunderstood her.Yeah right. But now Melanie can't ever take Abby back to dance because I made her look like a lair. Um...That's what she is, but this way it can be someone else's fault. Then to top it off she sent Abby with her mother to watch Maddie dance. The poor child had to sit there and watch her class do her routine on stage. Fucking pitiful.
