Well fans, Britney's mom has been on the go! I've finally finished school and put things in order there. Once that was done, Bryan, Jamie Lynn, her friend Crystal, and myself spent eight days in Orlando with Brit. She and her dancers are working on the new world tour. It's looking great! We would come for the last hour every day to watch. We sat spellbound - the music, the choreography, the set design - everything is amazing! Jamie Lynn and Crystal are only nine, and they sat glued to their seats.
Brit's dancers, Andre, T.J., and Alex will not be on the tour this time. They have grown professionally and have started doing choreography for other dancers. It is so hard to let people go because they became a part of a family. Yet, we are so very proud for them to have the opportunity to better themselves. Britney and I love those guys and wish them the best. Brit's new dancers are great also - Ryan, Bryan, and Gill are going to drive you crazy. They are not only dancers, but tumblers as well.
Orlando was great and we did so many fun things. We visited the Disney Parks, Universal Studios, the King's Feast, Water World, many wonderful restaurants, and of course, the Florida Mall. In our down time, we swam in the pool and tried to keep up with Britney.
I extended our visit twice. Brit would beg me to stay a little bit longer (Jamie Lynn and Crystal would beg to stay, also.) Jamie Lynn missed two ball games, two gym team practices, and two dance revue practices. I know that wasn't fair to the teams and to the dance club, but I believe Brit needed me more than they needed Jamie Lynn at this point. We haven't spent that much down time together as a whole family in quite a while. We won't see Brit again until the end of June. She's going to try to come and surprise Jamie Lynn and come to her revue. Jamie Lynn thinks she has a video to finish, and that she wasn't going to have time to come. Instead, Brit will be in the front row!
I want to thank all of you guys and girls who went out and bought Brit and my book. The response has been wonderful.

I would like to start this letter by saying thank you to all of you loyal fans who went to the stores and bought Brit's new album. Again, thanks to you, the album has broken records for it's sales. We are so excited! Britney has a really great new world tour planned - it's going to be outrageous! They have some really great new ideas. We're going to spring them on you soon!
I was able to visit Brit on Mother's Day in New York. We had a great time. I went to MTV with her and they surprised me by putting me on the show with her - for Mother's Day. Needless to say, I was very surprised. It turned out being a lot of fun. Everyone was very nice to all of us.
Saturday Night Live was hilarious - I have never laughed so much! That was really a new experience. After the show we went to a party. All of the cast and producers were there and I met some actors and actresses from movies and sitcoms. We didn't stay long because Britney was tired. We went back to the hotel and caught up on our sleep - our favorite past-time. Brit is so tired and wants to come home. She absolutely loved SNL, but she was so anxious about doing it, it exhausted her. She hasn't really recovered yet.
Brit and I went shopping for things for the house. The house is fabulous. It has a million different roofs and roof pitches. Well, maybe not a million, but a lot it is a lot bigger than I thought it would be. Sometimes I get so excited talking about it - I talk too fast and almost hyperventilate! I think I want to show the house to Brit now, and give her more of an idea what it's going to be like, then at other times I want to completely finish it and show her the final result.
Jamie Lynn, Bryan, and myself are going to stay with Brit while she rehearses for the new tour. If I could just finish school - it seems like an eternity until we finish! Jamie Lynn is bringing a friend with her. She is becoming such the social bug. She has to finish softball and dance revue before we can feel the least bit free. Brit will be seeing one of her shows, hopefully. She will be doing one of Brit's songs from the Off- Broadway play. It is adorable! Thank you again for your support with Brit's new CD.
