Oops I Did it Again! I mixed up yet another schedule for my Kiddies activities. Last year I sent my girlies to the wrong dance classes in my now blog famous Dance Class Swap Out and now before we can even start the new Dance Season I have somehow managed to have them miss the first 2 weeks of classes!
I don’t even know how. Ok so I know that our dance school usually sticks to the same schedules for classes (starts and endings) as the local school. So in my mind when we left the final recital I figured we would be back the same week school started in August. Oh how wrong I was.
So yesterday I was searching through my ever growing pile of flyers, forms and reminders for various activities to try and see what lovely outfits, shoes and such I needed to add to my shopping list for school and dance supplies. As I skimmed down the list: leotard, footless tights, foot paws (yeah – umm that may be a whole nother post – what in the what what?) I noticed – in bold type – see you all August 11th! What? August 11th…it’s the 22nd!?!?!?
So then came the embracing phone call where I tried to explain how I thought they started this week and not nearly 2 weeks ago. Are they still enrolled? How much did they miss? Aaaaarrrrrggggghhhh! I listened to the sweet owner’s voice as I know she was probably recalling my epic swap out from last year and decided to just end my misery then. Yes, we would be at class this week and yes I would find out what a foot paw was.
So my weekend is going to be spent not only scrambling for school supplies that were not on the list they mailed us (yes, yet another post in the making!) but also trying to define and locate this all elusive foot paw. Wish me luck!

Oh no! How funny though–it's hard to keep up with so many schedules!
My recent post I'm an Illiterate Idiot
It is Rachel! LOL hopefully I’m in a routine now 🙂
I cannot imagine, how you manage at all! I barely keep up with church activities and that is all that mine are involved with! Good luck girlfriend with the coming year! Thank you so much for sharing and have an amazing weekend!

Girl I honestly don’t know myself most times…LOL obviously I have my moments when things slip by me but for the most part we are successful in being where we need to when we need too. 😀 I hope you enjoy your long weekend!
I just know I'm going to do this when my girls are older. I can barely keep up with our not very busy schedule now!
Glad the girls are still enrolled. Hope they didn't miss too much!
My recent post It’s Nice To See You, Third Trimester!
Haha! It is kinda unavoidable at least once…but look at me! I\’m an overachiever and managed to do it twice…LOL It all worked out though and for that I\’m grateful…they didn\’t miss much and I don\’t think they even realize they started late. Have a great long weekend 😀
Ugh! I can't imagine! You are juggling well though. I can only imagine that sometimes there are going to be missed days and swapping dates! I do it now and I only have one child. 🙂

I\’m trying…sometimes I drop a ball or two but for the most part I get it done…LOL 😀
I can (and have) done stuff like this!
Our former dance studio called foot paws "foot undeez". 🙂
My recent post Navajo Sand Painting
Yay I’m not alone! LOL…yes, they told me that name too…stay tuned I have a story about those too 😀
Oh my! I've had moments like these too. Try not to beat yourself up too much, be gentle. This is a crazy time of year for everyone.
A foot paw?! Obviously I know nothing about dance… lol.
Wishing you a lovely day.
xoxo
My recent post Why I Cause Conflict Between My Kids
😀 Thanks, I’m trying…I just hate feeling lil I was the reason they missed out on anything…LOL
Yes, foot paw! LOL Stay Tuned for the story behind THAT 😀 LOL
Have an amazing Monday (if that’s possible…lol) xoxo
LOL I hope it's Monday where you are because it's Tuesday here. I already did the BLAH – Monday.
If it's Tuesday where you are, then, my dear, oops you did it again!
My recent post Why I Cause Conflict Between My Kids
Oh shoot! See there I go again..LOL it is Tuesday here…it was my Kiddies first school day so I’m all mixed up AGAIN! 😀
At least you caught it sooner rather than later, right? 🙂 Good luck finding the foot paws, lol.
My recent post Weekly Wrap Up: Lulu's Chocolate Bar + Savannah Sights
Haha…I guess even though my sooner was actually 2 weeks later…ROTFL 😀 Oh I found them! Totally NOT what I thought when I heard that…AND they have an a/k/a that is even worse tun Foot Paws! 😀
I've had a few parent of the year moments. At least you didn't forget your 2 year old was on your foot tails and you closed the bathroom door before she could get in and didn't realize it until you were helping your 6 year old wash her hands.
Haha…good to know I\’m not alone 😀 Oh my goodness…I may have done something like that with a niece once…I always have to do a head count… 😀
I am right there with you, starting a new season of dance classes for my daughter! Yeah, I can SSSOOO relate! We bought school supplies yesterday, and she started a short, 3-day dance camp today. I had to call her dance teacher last week to make sure I remembered when classes started for her – were they the week of school starting of the week after? You'd think as long as I have been doing all this, I would remember – but no, each year we go through this an something always ends up surprising me! 🙂
Yay for Dance Moms! We Rocks 😀 Yeah, I set alarms and alerts now for each class and hopefully it will help me avoid calling too often…maybe 😉
I feel your pain girl but I know you'll get through it.
My recent post Back to School Health Tips for Kids #BacktoSchool
Haha..thanks! I\’m trying… 🙂
Before having my daughter, I would have never thought I would be a mom that did this, but I can completely relate!
My recent post Weekend Recap 8.25.2014
Same here Brittney! I was like \’I Got This\’…well not so much 😀 I am happy to keep them active but sometimes keeping up with it all is a job in itself. LOL
I'm not a Mom but that is totally something I would do! LOL! You would think they would send out a reminder…especially if you miss the first class. And what the heck are foot paws??
They said they were getting back into things too…usually they call after a class…I guess we were all a bit off 🙂
I hate when I get something mixed up and have to call and explain! I once wrote a post with the same title, but it was about my accident proneness. 🙂
My recent post 6 Keys to Making a Marriage Last
Exactly Alli! I was so annoyed with myself…my Girlies didn\’t really know one way or the other and then needing to call…ugh! Haha! It is a cool title 😀
This is totally something I would do. I feel like my sons teachers are actually surprised now when I make it to something on the RIGHT date! HA!
My recent post Back to School Splash Bash!
Thanks Lauren, it\’s comforting to know I am not alone 😀
Gosh, I can see how it would be easy to get it all confused sometimes. It is great for kids to be involved in all kinds of activities, but between school and activities and if there is more than one child, confusion can reign supreme sometimes! 🙂 It will all get sorted out. And, the amount of school supplies parents are supposed to buy now.!Gees, so different than when my kids were young.
Thanks Karen. It can get a bit hectic. I have officially set timers and reminders for everything so wish me luck for the rest of the year 🙂 Oh yes the supply list is ri-donk-u-lous and most times they add stuff as far out as October. Boo!
Oops! So much to keep up with! And I am totally humming B Spears now. 🙂 Hope you are having a great week.

Hahaha! Your welcome Marjorie 😀 Have a great week!
Been there, totally done that.
My recent post Ask Away Friday with Nerd Moms!
LMBO…I know the teachers are like…seriously? LOL
That would be me, I'd let a whole month go by before I even realized we were supposed to be there.
And don't get me started on school supplies! My 6th graders list was sent out,we get everything on it AND THEN they send home another list the first day of school with totally different stuff needed. I am not a happy person and she's going to have to deal with what she has for a while because I can' t just go blow more money on a whole other supply list. ugh….
Remember when school was easy?
My recent post Show and Tell Friday
Haha! At least I am not the only one 😀
Oh the school list! That\’s exactly what happens with my Kiddies but this year I wait and asked at the Open House…STILL issues! Arrrgh! I just fought my way through Wal*Mart and I am NOT HAPPY 🙁 LOL
