BABYSITTERS CLUB

Wednesday – “WHAT A DAY!” (LOL)

Yesterday I arrived at the studio changed my clothes and waited for my “little ones” to arrive. Usually they sneak in the door and all yell “HELLO!” – But yesterday I could hear them when they got off of the elevator. There were 8 of them. One was crying and she worked herself all up to where she threw up all over her clothes and then got another one crying (the tiniest one in my class, Park Soo Jin)…. So I put throw up girl in the office with the director and helped the rest of the kids get changed for class. I had to hold Park Soo Jin the entire class while dancing because throw up girl had got her all upset!

After changing them back into their street clothes I was informed I was on “Bus Patrol” LOL –So we all headed down in the elevator and I felt more comfortable this time since I had done this once before…but I definitely had my phone with me incase anything went wrong. Everyone knew where they lived and the bus driver didn’t try to drop anyone off at the wrong home this time… thank the Lord! 







By the time I got back to the school --- the 4:30 class was almost over --- so I just watched them rehearse for Saturday’s Open House. I then had a little break and went and had some cheese sticks and water and chocolate chip muffins!!! Before my 6:00 Jazz class my director tells me the youngest one doesn’t like the ballet class and she thinks its boring (I’m thinking well yeah you have to be dedicated to take it --- even at a young age) ----long story short my director wanted me to try playing games, so that’s just what I did. We danced for about 10-15 minutes of the class…. The rest of the time we played (duck-duck-goose, red light-green light, hide and go seek, tag, teacher (Simon) says, 3-6-9 and musical chairs) I think she enjoyed the class a little more – LOL (I think I did too)

Once classes were finished I met Zack for dinner and before we were finished I had to use to restroom. In this place you have to take the key – walk down an ally – and unlock  the 3rd door on the right to get to the restroom. As I was getting ready to lock the door back and head back to the restaurant... I noticed through another door it looked like “PEDICURES” were taking place – I got so excited. Once I made it back to the restaurant I told Zack that were walking a different way home than we came. We walked around the corner and thank you JESUS --- it was a massage place.  What I thought were pedicures were actually foot massages.  I got a 40-minute leg/foot massage for a grand total of $15.00…. I mean where else can you find that. They also offer facial, whole body and shoulder. I cannot wait to go back to this place --- I have a strong feeling I am going to become a regular customer and they will see me at least once a week …maybe more (LOL)!!!!!

of course they make you soak your dirty feet ......
Thursday - - -

I had to once again come in early for advertising. Basically to pass out flyers and stand out like crazy in a crowd and draw attention to the dance studio information booth we had set up! Thank you Jesus for all those AIM trips where I had “tract hand-out practice”.  I’m not sure I would be making it with out that prep-time.

I got to the dance school about 12:10 (considering how late my director was last time, I figured she would be late again.) So about 12:45 she calls and says she is “running late” and the manager of the studio is coming to get me. A few minutes later Young Do comes in the door and we walk about 4 blocks to a local park --- the new location for our advertising. There were a ton of people that came through the park --- we were able to pass out hundreds and hundreds of flyers, it is probably the best location by far!

I saw several of my students walking through the park heading from one school to the next and they ran up and hugged me! It made my day so much brighter!!!

Many parents seemed interested in classes for their children and hopefully many will sign up – there was a small special needs little boy and he was loving the TV we had set up that was playing dance videos. We rocked out to “head, shoulders, knees and toes” in the middle of the park – he already knew all the motions and everything. He was loving it and he was also lovin’ his chicken on a stick that he was tearing up!

Classes went well this afternoon and the night ended with another trip to the foot massage place.
