What a whirlwind week!!!

Well, I have finished my script for my next play - Babes in Toyland. I had 80 children audition last week, so I had to make a few changes to the script to make sure I had parts for everyone that needed one. But I am finished and ready to tackle today's rehearsal. We finished our performances of Aladdin last week - it was a big success - we even had a sold out show one night, which is always a neat thing. I have a room full of props and set that need to be put away, and tubs of costumes that are out, opened and need to have the costumes returned to them, a house that needs cleaned and bills that need paid, but I'm getting there. We had a wonderful visit with Grandma as she was here this last week. It was a crazy one with my performance, auditions for the next group (which involves lots of paperwork and hours casting) Halloween, a 14 year old birthday, my 7 year old with a stomach bug on opening night, and all the normal everyday things that come with 5 children at home. We were sad to have here go home yesterday. I can't believe that's it's Nov. already, where has the year gone? But on the good side of that - my missionary comes home in 7 months!!! And the fun of the Holidays is upon us. Well, it's off to the bills or the house. Hmmm - tough choice - neither one is very fun. But I have Manheim Steamroller Christmas music on and I'm ready to go. 2 hours to work before the kids get home.
