It's Show Time Again…

Aladdin: Awesome Jr. High production. I was really impressed with the talent and energy and of course, I was partial to Aladdin and that cute carpet!! The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe: I lost track of how many times my oldest was Peter, but each year the plays a little different. Bravo to a…

Playing is not always fun!

It’s been another crazy month at our house, but when isn’t it! I came home from ACFW to a kid quarantined with possible swine flu (don’t think it was) and that very week all four kids started rehearsing for a college production of Oedipus Cycle. We were going to take the fall off from plays,…

The Play’s the Thing…

It’s spring and that means it’s busy season again. Four kids, three in two different plays, two in soccer, four in music, two in swimming and 1 in dance! Kind of crazy, but it’s so fun to see them excel and have fun after an extracurricularless winter! Timmy, my 9yr., once told me “Mom, I’m…

I’m Ready for Opening Night!

Three days until opening night of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. Three days! Can you tell I’m so ready for this play to be over with? I think the novelty of this particular play wore a while ago, especially since my two oldest are playing the same parts as last year and this…

Disappointments!

As a writer I’m used to disappointments. At this stage in my career their seem to be more rejections then things to celebrate. Over the years I’ve experienced the anxiousness that comes with wanting to be published so bad it physically hurts and then having that dream stripped away like a crusted over scab and…
