Dancing Queen - That's Me....

Way back when.... I used to love going to the clubs with my friends... Almost every weekend - you could find us dancing to our favorite 80's hit on the dance floors... Those were the days of big hair, bright colored outfits, and big hoop earrings... Those were the days I was a Dancing Queen...... or so my kids call it... The days when mom was young and skinny... ouch...

As a mom of teenagers who are now embarrassed by any public signs of affection... or anything that could be construed as different... I take great pleasure in embarrassing them in a not so public way... I could do the slightest silly thing with no one around but because we are in a "public" place like Target for instance - my eldest goes insane.... It's hilarious... So the other day.....

We were at Target.. (my favorite place to shop) and there was board - that you can play sample music on... and Dancing Queen was one of the songs.... All of a sudden - I broke out into song and danced in the aisle (no one was around) The girls were mortified... they took off down the different aisles just to get away from crazy lunatic mom - who bursts into song at the slightest provocation.... I could hear them giggling so I knew all was okay... When the song and I were done we continued on our merry way... I'm thinking - no one saw me.. and that was fun until.....

One of the managers I knew very well saw me in the checkout... He had this huge grin on his face.... We hugged and kissed and asked how each other was and then he said it... "Thanks for show - you were great!" Unknown to me - I was near a security camera and the entire performance was caught and watched by many... Thank goodness they couldn't hear me... I am sure my face turned about five shades of bright red.... I'm thinking this time.... I was the victim of my own outrageous-ness...
