Footloose (weekend 1)


 I was SOOOO excited to see Footloose! Joey has been so talking about it nonstop (since it's taken up all his time) and I couldn't wait to see it put together. Unlike the middle school musicals, I had no "sneak peeks" so this was a total surprise. Auntie Jodi had a sick kiddo at home so wasn't able to make opening night (when I had tickets for us) so Matt became my date. We had a great dinner before and LOVED the show!

I kind of loved the ad I came up with...


On the second night, Ali and I worked the tickets (she gets NJHS hours) and then she left with Jeff and I joined Danny, Steph and the kids in the balcony for show two. 
I have to say the more I see this show, the more I love it. I am amazed at the voices and choreography- the acting- it all came together so nicely! The cool part was I was also able to spot my boy!
He has loved the friendships he made through this. He knew a lot of the people through band and other things but I think he got a lot closer to them all through this.
With Sam (drum major)

It was fun to see him with his friends after the show! This group calls themselves the "Edgy Veggies" and one of them has a connection with one of my former parents. Such a small world. I saw a lot of people at the shows which was neat. I think word-of-mouth spread and people were snatching up those tickets!
 Of course Joey's biggest fans of that second night were the Drapals! Joey was excited to see them and they all had their cowboy boots on! TZ especially fell in love with the show and has been watching the movie Footloose and listening to the soundtrack which I think is ADORABLE! Can't wait for next weekend!

So tired...

It's getting to me... I don't know if it's the sleep deprivation or the crazy schedule of being a full time working mom and having four kids at home... but it's getting to me. I am so tired. Last night I was up at midnight with Sean, then at 2:30 with Joe who was sick and threw up, I got back to bed at 3 and slept for 15 minutes until Sean woke up again. I let him cry for 45 MINUTES until I could take it no more, staggered into his room and nursed him. And then I was up before six to start my day which looks something like this.. Wake up, shower, get ready for work prior to kids waking up... (praying that they don't wake up) then waking the bigs who can dress themselves, and getting Zach changed and dressed, then downstairs to make breakfast for three bigs while putting together pump parts to take to school (that were drying over-night), clean up from breakfast, meds for Zach which now include a breathing treatment (from last Tuesday's doc apt), shoes on a...

Saying Goodbye...

Well, we knew this day would come.  Prayed that it would be clear and it was. On Sunday night I laid with Cobi as I have (more so in recent weeks).  He asked to go outside at one point and he was out longer than usual.  I called for him to come inside and he didn't come. I had been cleaning the kitchen and I thought perhaps I had let him inside.  My brain isn't the best. I ran upstairs and to all his favorite places, but he was nowhere to be found.  I grabbed my shoes, wrapped my arms around me and went out to the cold calling for my baby, in a panic.  He came to me slowly from out in the darkness and when we got inside I sat with him, wrapped my arms around him and cried. As promised.  He had told me.  This was it. Somehow I went to school and made the call.  The last appointment of the day was at 5:20pm and since Joey wasn't getting home until 6:00, I took it as a consult and then also booked the first appointment for t...

It's the Honest Scrap!

Image
So some of you know that I have two blogs. This blog- which has reflected on my day to day adventures with my living children, things I love and the occasional "Pause" blog where I remember my angels. My other blog (That I refer to as my 'Pause' blog) has been an entire blog about my angels-a therapy to me in a sense- how they've changed me, restored me and helped me. I have met a huge community of mothers who have lost children and have been nominated by two of them for this Honest Scrap award (for my 'Pause' blog) The idea is similar to the last 'award' I wrote about, my new friends stated in their blogs that: The award is about bloggers who post from their heart, who write from the depths of their soul. In order to accept the award I must nominate seven fellow bloggers as recipients, and then list ten honest and interesting things about myself. So- although I was nominated on 'Pause'- I'm writing on 'Days' because I have sh...
