I didn’t make it onto Xanga yesterday…by the time I had a spare minute, I figured it was so late I might as well wait until today. So here I am! And here is a run-down of the important stuff from the last few days.
- Friday night was our tech rehearsal. It started at 6:30. I got home at 12:15 (am)!
- Saturday morning rehearsal…didn’t go that well. It went okay…but not great. Not a good thing for a dress rehearsal!
- Saturday afternoon: shopping with my Dad for my mom. Karen & Mom were elsewhere in the mall. Then we met the Eric/k’s for supper at Red Robin. I was home by 6:30 (very tired), but made sugar cookies before bed.
- Best Surprise of the weekend: Eric cleaned the house for me on Saturday. Cleaned the kitchen, washed the floor, vacuumed, did all the laundry, and generally tidied the place up. What a great husband!
- Sunday morning was church. The children sang in the service. One little boy ran offstage, during their songs, because he had to go to the bathroom. As Eric said, “He was holding his winky for a while before he left.”
- Back at the church about 3:00 for the performances. Got all the last details finished. Got the tech stuff in place. Got an audience. Ran it at 5:00: it went almost perfectly!
Ran it again at 7:00: not so close to perfectly, but still better than I’d expected! 
- Monday was the last day of classes. So I reviewed for the final exam in Basic English and collected papers in Composition. Exams on Wednesday and Friday (and finishing the grading, of course
) and we are done until January! YEAHHHH! - When I got home, I decided to give Eric some quality time (since I’d been “distracted” all weekend). So he picked the evening’s agenda. We watched Firewall (with Harrison Ford) and then watched a Christmas Lights show (overly abundant light displays…no the guy who lives across from my parents didn’t make it!), before heading to bed for some quality time. Then sleep…such a nice evening!
^Keep hoping, Kim Sue. They don’t get any better. Every illness = near death.^
If he doesn’t get over it soon, I might lose it. It’s been going on since Thursday or Friday, and I really can’t take it much longer. He took this afternoon off, so hopefully, some extra rest will help. Hopefully. (or should that be “I hope”?)
No, Shan, Kevin is deathly ill (he has a cold), so he is not feeling up to anything other than lying on the couch and going, “cough, cough, feel my forehead. Do you think I have a fever? I think I have a fever. cough, cough.” Honestly, if this illness doesn’t kill him, I might have to.
Definitely the ironing part…I didn’t make Eric try to wash the ironing clothes.
And I haven’t cleaned the bathrooms in a while…
^ probably catch up on a month’s worth of laundry and ironing… ^
Now your performances are over and school is almost over. What will you do with yourself?!?!
I got to go to Red Robin last night…yum! And then it was home for quality time in the chair…rest, at last!!
I can hear Eric saying that!
I
Red Robin.
You’re almost done!!
(Unless you have my MIL, and she did it!
)
The winky comment was hilarious!!
The guy across from your parents is definitely overly abundant on the lights!
Doesn’t it feel GREAT to come home to a clean house you didn’t clean?!
Glad the performances went well, especially the 5:00 one. Your shopping trip sounds like what we used to do when we were kids: everyone to the mall and split up, one kid with each parent, then switch, so we could all buy for each other. It sounds fun to have done it again as grown-ups! LOL to the winky comment!
