Hello all....well the play went great and we had a great turnout. When I last wrote, I was languishing about JEB being sick and John being grumpy....well, that wasn't the end of our play production issues. Friday was going well....then the bad weather came in. Tornadoes and strong thunderstorms were coming our way....only to be in the middle of getting makeup on and getting them dressed for the afternoon matinee performance and then the city and county schools decided to dismiss by 1:30 pm, which meant we would also follow suit. So, that meant all activities would be cancelled including the play. What a GOD thing though.....the place doing dinner let us change it to Monday, the tux place said we could return them on Tuesday, even the curtain rental place changed return to Tuesday, oh, and the chairs/tables we borrowed from the church across the street from us said we could bring them back on Tuesday!! Definitely a GOD thing!!
Saturday evening's dinner and performance went great, the kids had a great time and the audience enjoyed it, too! Several lines were dropped but they covered for each other quite well. Then Monday's matinee and evening performance went well. I was so proud of them! Thanks for all of your prayers and support. Oh, and John's back to normal.....yay!
I promise to keep up with blogging. Thanks for listening!

what a week!
Well my friends, its been a Satan Week....that should describe it perfectly! Monday and Tuesday weren't too bad, but its play production week and that alone makes it hectic! Then I had a sub for Wed-Fri. to get ready for production! First, John has not been himself lately which stresses me out totally, and on Wednesday morning JEB woke complaining of a tummy ache and being very whiny, which meant he was not going to school but coming with us. This would've normally been ok, but I had scheduled a day of running last minute play errands with one of the other directors and we had our day pretty well laid out. JEB could have come with us, but it definitely would be easier to leave him with John. We did that, but he wasn't exactly happy about the prospect....and since he was in a rotten mood to start with, that pushed the button that said "EXPLODE"!!! He got his classes covered and headed home, calling me to tell me that he was leaving the tickets in his top desk drawer. Ok, I said....what about the $$ I left with you? He said, "What money? I didn't see any money." As he was saying this to me I was quickly beginning to hyperventilate in D's car as we were going to pick up some things......since this was serious money.....several hundred dollars worth of ticket sales that I couldn't replace.....well, he called back and said that it was there and gave it to the other play director who was still in his classroom! WHEW! I was panicked!!
All went great with rehearsal and we were set for a Thursday matinee performance. Got to school on Thursday, got rehearsal going and I took one of the make-up people to WalMart for a last minute make=up pick up for the play......only to get back to school and see one of my actors in the office crying....a guy, no less which did not spell a good situation. Got to the rehearsal to find that he decided it would be hilariously funny to take one of the play guns that is a prop and go in the hall and jump out at whoever happened by.....which happened to be two third grade girls and he consequently scared them half to death, made them cry and scream and things quickly went down hill from there. Now, in a public school that would automatically get the cops called....ironic, that his character was a cop........and he would be hauled off to the pokey, but it got him suspended for two days, which meant we had to come up with a back-up plan. Got the acting all rearranged only to have our Friday matinee and evening dinner theater cancelled and reschedule for Monday because of threatening tornadic weather!!
So, we are on for our Saturday performance with every thing still on for Monday! I'll post some pics when I get them from my photographers. It's really going well and very funny!
Pray that all goes well. Oh, and then JEB wakes at midnight last night throwing up everything he ate yesterday!! Yeah, way fun! All is better, he's keeping food/drink down and all the laundry is done. Ok, maybe we'll get thru today after all!
later,
