OMG, ive done it...

Dance concert is OVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AND i DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! wooohooooo..

after much stressing, worrying, and being sick, i actually went on stage!!!!!!
i did the dance and i am still alive...

We had our dancing concert on Sunday night (Nov. 5th) and all went well, well almost all.. there was a bit of a stuff up with the music at the beginning, but that was the muso's fault and it sorted itself out not too long after...
The kids were excellent...
i was disappointed that i couldn't just sit out with the crowd, mum & Brendan included and sit & enjoy the whole show from the comfort of my chair... lol
After being at dress rehersal the week before (ALL day) we knew (Bronwyn & I) that the Tiny Tots, Jordan's group, 15x 2, 3 & 4yr olds weren't going to get ready, quickly changed & organised by just 2 ladies. So we offered to help out too..
And we knew we would have to be out the back getting ready for our dance too and we could have a quick practice or two being out there...
I sneaked out every now & again to watch the kids but sadly, i missed the Boy's Group (both Jordan & Dan's boys only group) and had to watch it from the side of the stage and i missed Taylor's Cha Cha Slide song, but did get to watch it on the big screen in the dressing room. But that wasn't the same really...
Im looking forward to getting the dvd and watching it all again.. Not that it will be the same, but at least we will have that...

We, being Bronwyn, Kathleen & I had our dance too... Second half, song 10..
We started getting ready at intermision and boy was i sweating & shaking then..
I was so nervous i was almost ill. I was ill but i almost lost my food from the day before (not that day, cause i hadn't eaten all day and couldn't). I did managed to sneak downstairs just before the concert started and had a real quick vodka.
We practiced our dance about 4 times while waiting backstage. I think by the 3rd & 4th time, i was over it and didn't want to get 'over practiced' (if such thing??)..
Kathleen was really ill, poor thing.
We were waiting just behind the curtains backstage, waiting for our turn to go on. I was EXTREMELY ill by then, i couldn't stop shaking, thought i was going to throw up and was really stressing and thought i was going to pass out..
We were called onto stage and then i remember coming off the stage..
After all that stressing, i can't remember a thing... lol
I can sort of remember doing it, i remember missing one little step and that's all i remember of the dance.. lol how funny is that..
Everyone said we were good, but what else would they say??!!! ha.

Everyone ended up finding out about it at work (as my boss, Vic was there watching his daughter) and they have all said its good that i had the courage to get up and do it, but how funny... lol

Everytime i hear the song now, S.O.S by Rihanna i want to just jump up and do it.. lol
and i go over every step in my head. I know ever step exactly and can't stop stepping it out in my head with or without the music... lol

AND guess what???????!
I got a trohpy!!!!!!!!!!!! WOOOHOOOOOO
i must get a photo and post it here....

i don't have any photos of me, phewwww, thank goodness... Who would want them anyhow... lo
