The Joy of a Checked off List

I'm sure I've written about this before but there is little else in this life that thrills me like checking items off a list.  Oh sure, there are things that are WAY cooler than that - don't get me wrong. (although some of them haven't happened in such a long time I'm beginning to forget) (I'm talking about being on stage, ya sickos!)  *giggle* 

Anyway, last night was the Staff Recognition Banquet.  I've been working on it for several months now.  Plans finally came together and last night was the night.  It turned out pretty great, actually.  Oh sure, you can't please everybody but, mostly, people seemed to really like the new format.  Folks were home in time to watch the end of Lost. *laugh*

I'm so tired.  I wasn't planning on working this weekend but I find our website and email is down so it is a good thing, huh? 

Auditions for South Pacific are Sunday and Monday.  I anticipate lines of women, just waiting for the chance to sing and read for Nellie.  It should be a fascinating couple of evenings. 

 I'm going to see if Mom can watch the midget so I can go to the show at the Theatre on Saturday.  I think it's going to be important to be there.  AND, my very dear friend George, from She Loves Me is going to be there.  It would be great to catch up with him and hear about his adventures since the show.  He's found love, he says, so I can't wait to hear all about it. 

Tonight, though, I would love nothing more than laying down and sleeping until 10 o'clock tomorrow morning.  I know the chances of that happening are slim but a girl can hope.  I know Munchkin will be up at the crack of dawn, like she always is. 

She acted like she wanted to get sick earlier but I think she's doing better now.  I think she's just overly tired and she was out in the grass all morning so her allergies may have just stopped her up.  She's perked back up this last hour or so.  She's laying in the floor of the living room, watching Tom and Jerry.

Completely Exhausted

tomorrow is friday?  oh, thank goodness.  because i seriously doubt i could survive too many more days like today. 

not really a bad day; had some really nice parts, actually.  but i'm just beat down tired.  i can't shake this tiredness and that worries me.  it's like a run down kind of achy; almost like a flu except i'm not sick. 

i have got to rest soon.  please lord, get me through the next two weeks.

What fun! (thank goodness it's over!)

 

What a fun day!  The weather was fantastic, her friends were cute and I think everybody had a really good time.  I only put up a couple of the pictures but I'll put everything on the flickr account. 

We made paper hats (they were a hit, once we figured out how to make them work), played tweedledee/tweedledum freeze tag (we even got Nana and Mommy to run around a little), pin the tail on the cheshire cat and had lots of turns on the swing.  The biggest hit of the party was decorating their own cupcakes - boy, they dug that.  What a mess!   I'm so glad we were outside!  They painted little canvas bags that they took with them (thanks SIL - that was a TERRIFIC idea) and Nana told a story. 

We ended up not using the teacups because up until the very hour before the party, I had no idea how many children were coming.  Fearing leaving somebody out, we just passed on them.  I am going to teach Munchkin how to use them - we'll have a tea party with her little girl friends. 

It rained after the party but not during.  Whew!  Now, I'm totally beat and ready to crawl into bed.  Thank goodness it's over.  We had SUCH a fun time, though....

Today is the Day!

I think I might be more excited than Munchkin - today is her party!  I find I'm so excited, I'm a little nervous.  How silly is that?!  I guess it's just that we've put a lot of planning into it so I hope it's lots of fun.  I have NO idea who's coming, which terrifies me, so I hope I have enough stuff for everybody.  (I think we'll be fine)

Well, I'd better get at it - so much to do this morning!  I'll post pictures tonight!!

 

I have a headache

I don't know why.

My head hurts.

I took the hottest bath my skin could stand and that didn't help.  I so wanted to get sleepy (ok, sleepier) so I could lay down but nope - my head hurts.  I can feel my brain thumping in my ears.  That's never a good sign. 

Thank goodness for Advil. 

*sigh*

Is it June yet? 

nicknames

Bathtub (BT for short) or Coach?  Hmmmm....  Funny or practical?  Choices.... ..... *giggle*

Ah, Saturday

The day when my list of things to do has NOTHING to do with school, students, boards, teachers or parents.  The only camera involved is mine, if I take pictures of Munchkin.  And a nap is almost always somewhere on the list. 

I voted this morning, cleaned all the junk out of the car and had lunch with a friend (I need to come up with a nickname for him.....).  Now, Munchkin is watching cartoons and I'm here.  And now you are all caught up on the day. 

*yawn*  I'm sleepy.  I need to put together the chairs we bought at the same time as the blasted shelves but I just can't bring myself to make that much noise when I'd really like to lay down for a little while.
