I feel bad because Zoe has an ear infection but I promised to do all these great things with Jordyn this weekend-so I know to keep putting money away for both our daughters to be sitting on a couch somewhere in the near future.One of them is always pissed about something that has to do with the other- nothing like a little sibling rivalry.
Jordyn's school had a Halloween dance on Friday night. I could not have been more impressed- and it takes a lot. The PTA did a fabulous job. They had the whole gym was decorated with black and orange balloons and a ton of decorations. There was a DJ who had two dancers. The dancers were great- not over the top and showing the younger girls how to do certain dance moves without being inappropriate. They served food in the cafeteria. The children were all great- everybody was on good behavior. Jordyn did well for Jordyn and I was pretty shocked she said she wanted to leave around 8- instead of having a meltdown. It was very loud and stimulating for her but she held it together really well and I gave her plenty of outs if she wanted to take them. The music was good and this has been the closet I have come to "clubbing" in a long time. I was thinking how I wanted to sneak in some margaritas ( come on it's Friday night- school dance- just having some flashbacks) But I did not want to embarrass Jordyn anymore than necessary. There will be enough time for that. Anyway it was nice to see she has friends and that she is slowly adjusting to school.
Saturday we went to Chinese school- where I don't think it is possible to feel anymore inadequate. The teacher had us come to the board to write sentences and I wanted to ask her if I could do it in Spanish. I am having a very hard time with the Chinese and she must think I am a dope who does not study - she is absolutely correct. I don't know when these people are studying or if they already secretly speak Chinese but I'm like- I have two little kids at home and I work. I take this for fun and- great if I learn something but I'm not really counting on it. I did not verbalize that in class. Jordyn is already correcting my tones-of course she will soon find our her mom is a dope. At some point when the girls are older they'll be talking about me in Chinese and they will be laughing about-their mom. I can see it now- the two of them laughing at me in Chinese and saying there is no way I understand a word of what they are plotting. - Maybe Chinese school was not such a great idea.
Today I took Jordyn into the city with me. We went with another friend and her daughter to Serendipity's- home of the frozen hot chocolate. Those of you who visit this blog from out of state or country- this is a must if you ever visit NYC. The girls had a great time and were really well behaved. I of course gained another few pounds and Jordyn now has a new place to have awesome desserts. Zoe is going to have go to an ENT and we will take it from there. Hopefully she'll be feeling better soon.
