G'day, people.
Sharon/WO, enjoy your day. And I hope you really enjoy the Shrek movie. I'm not sure when I'll get to see it.
Sharon/LDM, sorry easy child was sick and bonehead was living up to his nickname. Here's hoping easy child feels better today. There's a lot happening for her right now.
I've had a day at home but also a very productive day. Tomorrow is a costume call for this play I've got myself involved in. It's a long story about tis play; I got involved originally to help a friend, then I thought it would be fun as long as I wasn't doing all the work. Then my friend made a mess of things with the costumes and since I had some good ideas to make it all really easily, I found myself carrying THAT can. And then my friend began to behave erratically and now is no longer involved; but I felt obliged to continue. My friend is probably no longer my friend and I didn't want it all to fall apart purely because I was the last rat leaving a sinking ship. Because the ship needn't sink, I think it has a good captain. But this director is leaning on me a bit harder tan I'm happy with.
Still - I got the bulk of the costumes done today as well as scavenged a lot of the props. I had begun working on this back when my friend was involved, but today I pulled it all together. Here's hoping tomorrow's rehearsal goes well. If it doesn't - the play gets dropped. Or postponed. Again. I won't be too sorry, frankly, even after all my work (and some expense, buying the fabric).
The thing is - the bulk of the work (from me) is done now, and I can begin my radiation treatment on Monday without needing to worry. I was even learning lines while sewing today!
At the same time, difficult child 3 was working to complete schoolwork (on a Saturday? Unheard of!) and I rewarded him with some promised duet time on SingStar. I'd basically told him, "I have work to do. You have work to do. When we have both finished, we can play together."
husband also took him for a driving lesson which also happened to be during the rain, and as it got dark. These were lessons husband wanted to cover, so that was good.
Tomorrow is supposed to be an open day for the train club; normally I would go too, to help sell tickets. But not tomorrow, not until this play is over.
difficult child 3 is almost certainly going to stay home (hopefully to get more schoolwork done). husband will not be able to play trains if it's raining (which is forecast). mother in law is cooking dinner tomorrow night, so I can go to the rehearsal (car is already loaded with all my sewing and my box of face paint) and just relax and enjoy myself. It's Not My Problem, if it all falls apart. It just means that easy child 2/difficult child 2 will get to play with the costume I made for her - a red tutu in the shape of a rose. She'll be the life of the next party she goes to, or Melbourne Cup Day. Or both.
Enjoy your Saturday, everyone.
