My kids both attend a dance school and both work really hard all year as do all the other kids and teachers there. They break up for the summer hols at the end of the week and every year at this time they put on a 2 - 3 day dance show putting together everything they have learned all year.
Last night was day one of the shows, so I had rearranged my shifts and had a very long day ahead of me. I started work early and put in an 8 hour shift, then ran home, made dinner and food for them to eat between dances, got their drinks sorted and did last minute sewing fixes on some of their costumes. As I am watching the show tonight, I was backstage last night so then I had to fly through and do another shift of crazy, frantic backstage dressing, make-up and anything else that was needed.
The kids had done most of their dances when I got told I had to go down and get my oldest who had hurt her knee doing one of her dances. So I went down to her and she was in floods of tears and could hardly walk! She was more upset because she knew she wasn't going to be able to go back on to do the finale.
So, after packing up, and arranging somebody to take care of my youngest one for the rest of the night and probably overnight I had a trip to A+E. We sat there for the best part of 2 hours before getting seen but the good new was after x-rays nothing is broken, she is now strapped up and has painkillers and instructions to rest it!
I now have to deal with an inconsolable teen who wanted her 15 minutes of fame and ain't gonna get them this year!
