Proud Mommy Moments: Something To Sing About

The first time I heard her sing, I nearly cried.  She was only 2.  She sang a Primary song.  It wasn't just cute.  It was perfectly pitched.  I am sure I have it on video some where.  She has always sung.  And her singing, in my unbiased opinion, is a gift from God.  I have spent years telling her so.  This year, she finally had the courage to put herself out there.  She auditioned for the Spring Musical Production of Thoroughly Modern Millie.  Sadly, she was not cast.  But she is a freshmen.  And she kept on truckin' saying she would tryout for ensemble.

Now fast forward, where she puts herself out there again for a solo part in the Women's Ensemble performance.  Not chosen?  Is her choir teacher tone deaf?  Or he is on the take with some other parent?  (He is part of the Spring Production too!)  But she still holds her head high and reminds me she is trying out for ensemble for the play.  All right!   You go girl!  The day after the auditions, the cast is posted.  I told her to text me right away.  She did.
All her hard work and perseverance paid off!  And I am so proud of her!  You go Kristin!!!

And a bonus one, I just got this morning...Ryan showed me this morning.  He completed the next level of his rainbow reading!!! Woot.  Now he is on level 3.  You go Ryan!

I am participating with EmmyMom and Kmama and their Proud Mommy Moments!!!

A Leave of Absence

Image
I just wanted let you all know that I am taking a (short) leave of absence. I was feeling under the weather last Friday, and Saturday I was a lump. By Monday I felt almost normal again. Tuesday even better! By Wednesday night the whole left side of my face felt completely packed. Today(Thursday) I am at death's door. Or maybe it's at mine! All I know is, I haven't felt this crappy in a long time. I spent the day at my mom's and mostly slept. Thanks Mom. Now Rich is home and he is running the show. I shall return...as soon as I stop feeling like this.

Dancing with the Stars---Dead

Image
That is how the show was introduced on Halloween night.  "Dead, from Hollywood, it's Dancing with the Stars!"  with your host, Tom Boooo-geron! Oh and Brooke who didn't get a play on her name.  Tonight, the dances are all spooktacularly themed.  Plus there is also a team dance. David and Kym 1-800-868-3406 David and Kym are dancing The Cha Cha and David wants to add magic to the act, so they bring in a professional magician to help with some basic tricks.  I enjoyed their Cha Cha.  It was fun. Len said it had  lots of tricks and treats and that David turned himself into a dancer! Bruno told him he has got the prestige, and that he was a natural at turning tricks. Carrie Ann said his improvement was phenomenal. She said he was polished and finessed, but that he needed to work on his holds. Scores: Carrie Ann:  8 Len: 8 Bruno: 8 Total: 24  JR and Karina 1-800-868-3410 JR and Karina are dancing the Tango to Ghostbusters. Why do they give such ch
