What do Michael Jackson, Masquerade, and a Ladybug Have in Common?

Caleigh Faith Briley, that's what. She is all set to light up the stage Saturday evening and again on Monday evening. She will be dancing, singing, and being her wonderful self. So who's stressing? Uh, Mom. See my posts from one year ago for a reminder of how much I DETEST all the stuff leading up to Saturday night's recital. I'm less stressed about Monday night, but still. On top of everything, Russell will be out of town Monday through Wednesday. Ugh. I had this deeply moving post all set in my head for tonight, but I think I'll save it for tomorrow. Because this day has left me exhausted and longing for my bed.
