The Busted Toe

honestly buy themselves. I’d have more respect if they were like, “yeah, can you just give us some money for our honeymoon? That’d be helpful.” DONE. Meanwhile, I will be crossing my fingers that I get all the items on my registry since I don’t live w/my fiancé.

All these brides are just using it as an opportunity to upgrade their current shit. While I do get it, it’s a little frustrating. Being expected to spend lots of money on expensive items that they already have, random ass items like lawn chairs, or shit like towels that they can

Completely un-dance related, but I’m losing my mind w/all the bridal showers I have. With all due, all these brides have lived w/their fiancé’s for a long time. The whole purpose of a shower is to shower a bride with items needed to merge households.

Forced to be closed until January 15th now... but don’t worry, crowded malls, bowling, and gyms are still allowed to be open. Make it make sense 🙃🙃🙃

@dancestudi0prob 3 of my former students have gotten engaged/ married, and we have the same age gap (all before me too) Feels so weird!

The weirdest thing about owning a dance studio at a young age is that some of my students were 15 when I was only 23. Like one day they’ll be 40 and I’ll be 48... it’s a strange feeling when your students start getting married and having kids and stuff!!

ANDDDDD we’ve been extended to stay closed. Well folks. I’m disgusted with my government. My first round of rent deferment is due this month from our first round of shutdowns. how the hell am I coming up w/that money? #help

Sooooo is ANYONE in the government going to actually help us small business owners out, or do I just throw in the hat now..?

Let me just say- holding competition practice over zoom- HYSTERICAL. I’ll be happy if my kids jump clap on time come Competition 😅

I swear if one more of my friends tells me, “you’ll be fine. Don’t stress” I am going to LOSE it. You have ZERO clue what goes into owning a small business. Zero.

THIS FOR THOSE IN THE BACK THAT STILL DON’T UNDERSTAND

Amen

@CarlyDWilsonn Just in my State currently

@thebustedtoe When is the shutdown happening? Is it nationwide? I feel so in the dark 😫

What’s more fun than 1 shutdown with no government aide? ANOTHER shutdown with no government aide! Wahoooo! 😐

In all reality, how do parents expect us to survive another shutdown (that is happening) and request refunds/discounts... PSA: we won’t survive if you stop paying. Ridiculous.

@AnonymousDance4 I audibly laughed out loud at this... ohhhh the hilarity of it all!

A global pandemic and virtual lessons ain’t stopping these parents from asking about competition pins. 😑😑

Haven’t been on here in a hot minute. How’s everyone doing? Are we all surviving?

Things I don’t have time for in 2020: a parent encouraging their dancer to lie to me, the SO, about the dancer being positive for Covid. Then arguing w/me about the amount of time they have to stay out of the studio. GTFOOOOO 😒

@danceteachvibes This is the story of my life at this point 😂

So over parents not communicating. Hearing from kids that their teammate is returning. But nothing from the family. Show some respect to your kids teachers and coaches and reach out to them directly.

@owner_tea You are not alone in this one. Painfullllll start to the year

So.... everyone having an awful start to the dance year orrrrrr is that just me? Covid can go away any time now... 😏

Lolololol when a teacher quits and gives you a day notice to find someone new... YEAH THATS COOL THANKS 2020. The hits just keep on comin’
