Human Again
Just call me Vidal. Last night was our night “off” from Beauty and the Beast. Of course, we had a daytime show so it’s not like we had the whole day off. Just the evening. Which was good enough since we had been up at school every evening since last Wednesday. Some evenings past 10pm. One past midnight. In other words? E and I needed that night off just to pick up the remnants of our sanity and put them back into place before this weekend. The first show was... Read More
Necessity Is REALLY The Mother Of Invention. And Mad Hair Skillz.
This theater thing my kid does has changed my life in many ways. We’ve discussed this, right? Well…let me tell you the newest way. I am now on the hair crew. Doing FRENCH TWISTS. What in the HECK?

When I started treating my eating like an addiction, I was at the maximum level of that weight gain. And today? I passed the minimum. That means, after almost... Read More
If You Can’t Tell…I’m Totally Trying To Psyche Myself Up In This Entry.
Can I just say something? I AM AWESOME. What? Come on. None of us say it enough. We all are waaaaayyyy too hard on ourselves. And I could have used about 15 more “a”s and “y”s in that “way” right there and I still don’t think I could have made my point. I’m starting to believe that guilt and self-persecution are inseparable from parenting, as often as we all bash ourselves for our inadequacies. And I’m definitely guilty... Read More
Mission: Accomplished
Yesterday was SO FUN. I have no idea if there were any complaints (most are too kind to pass those along) but I heard nothing but compliments from volunteers AND participants. Of course, it helped that I had a team of A-MA-ZING parents to help me. Several took charge of the kitchen since I was all, “AHH! I can’t cook pancakes!” They blew a few breakers but other than that? Wonderful. I over-shopped, of course. But I guess it’s better that than UNDER-shopping.... Read More
