Amy here. I get to post again. (buahaha...) The show must go on! And thanks to the Amazing Marta, it will. Day one of dress rehearsals went fabulous and day two promises to go just as well, and if day two goes well, then the show should go well and if the show goes well the student's will have more self-esteem and if they have ...
My Kids
While the cat’s away . . .
That's right. Mom's not here today. She has no internet connection. Pobrecita. So I, Amy (Marta's eldest and cutest), have quickly and modestly taken up the reigns.
