First I have this really cute video of the girls dancing at Libby Lu, but when I try and watch it I get an error message. Something about a bad public movie atom. Sometimes I hate technology.
Then I politely e-mailed the music teacher requesting the costume information for the 3rd Grade musical. I mentioned that we got the info for the 2nd grade play so late last year we chose to leave town instead of participate. I mean who the hell gives you a freaking week to find a HIPPO costume (in April). I guess she took it personally for this was her response:
Mrs. W,
This year they will wear normal everyday wear. We always have offered help and still offer help to parents who need help with costumes so that all kids can participate.
I have been extremely ill and out of school for the last week. There will be information coming soon regarding the play now that I am back at work.
Respectfully,
Music Teacher
And that upset me because I didn't mean anything by my comment. No that's not true, I did put a little dig in on her for last year. There was no offer of help other than a list of websites, none of which had hippo costumes. Even if there had been hippo costumes, giving me the list a week in advance doesn't help much. I wouldn't have paid for the 2day shipping, it would have been outrageous. Honestly I was beside myself last year trying to find the hippo costume. I called every costume store and rental place within 75 miles of here and I looked online. Nothing. I looked for grey sweats, nothing. Finally after I'd had enough and I was so close to tears, I quit. And to avoid Lilly's inevitable disappointment, we took a trip to TN. I wanted at least two weeks this year and if that hurt her feelings or pissed her, off tough titty I don't think I am asking for too much.

i'm right there with you! you didn't do or say anything wrong, and really 1 wk to find a hippo costume?? wtf??? she must not've had to shop for any of them herself. I think 2 weeks is more than fair, I think that 3 would be good to.
but i also don't think you should let her letter bother you.. you know you didn't do anything wrong so you shouldn't even give it a second thought that she meant it in a snotty way... which it could be taken either way.
have a good day!

She doesn't have children, so she has never gone through this before. I was kind of surprised they didn't provide a costume for the kids. If they do the same programs year after year, they should just save us the hassle and buy the costumes and use them year after year.
Thanks, I am trying to have a good day. But Sophia is getting sick now and I am tired.
