If You Love Your Daughter, You’ll Rearrange Your House

This room used to be comfortable. And furnished. Now it echos. How many area families have cleared the furniture out of one room this week? Can I see a show of hands?

    Ah. dance team tryouts…a week of stress-free fun for the whole family! Off-topic but relevent; your hard woods look good.

    We cleared out the dining room.

    I used to have a pad of these stickers: http://www.zazzle.com/nice_park_job_asshole_sticker-217550758507213272

    They were extra sticky, too. How many stickers they got depended on how rotten their behavior.

    I’ll send you the photo of our living room … anything for our daughter! Furniture is in the garage … grandmother would not approve of the storage but she would approve of the hard work our daughter has put into her dancing. Good luck to all the little dancing princesses!

    What are you all talking about? What is this week?

    @ HP parent … spoken like a true innocent! You must have sons! Yes, I finally resorted to moving out the furniture in the living room. At least this year, only have one daughter trying out. At least this year we don’t get the list on Mother’s Day morning like we have the past 3 years. Tears over not making a team, friends making another team and they didn’t, etc

    oh goodness, I’m so glad I never turned into a bellebot. if they really like dance, it’s okay, but some of these little kids (there’s 5th graders stressing out about making dance teams!!) just need to be kids. I think the belles are great, but at the same time…yikes.
