MY SINCERE APOLOGIES!!!

I want to apologize to all of the dedicated bloggers who check my regularily -- I have been a HORRIBLE blogger!!!

The last couple weeks have been great but extremely busy!! I'm enjoying life as a Mom of a school child, Fiddler on the Roof has been great! We lost our Fyedka -- but never fear -- JOEL BALLARD to the rescue! If you read this Joel -- thank you so much for your willingness and speedy entry into our cast!!!!




I went to Whistler last weekend with my best friend from highschool and a bunch of other FANTASTIC women!!! Just for a 'time out' and a chance to get to know new people and to enjoy old friends!!! There were some SUPER cute babes up there too! I had a wonderful time and look forward to doing it again next year!

That's all for now, except for my flood from my hot water tank -- but don't worry -- it's ALL fixed ($600 later!!!).

Hope everyone who reads this is FANTASTIC!!!!!!!

AND HE'S OFF...

My job as a parent is nearly complete, as today I dropped my son off for his first day of preschool.
It began as an adventure!!


We walked to his destiny, hand in hand.

We reached his new school 'Over the Rainbow' with a bit of time to spare...he couldn't WAIT to enter!

He ran into the waiting room and immediately found his own cubby that I had shown him last week (he remembered where it was without ANY prompting!!!).
And then it was time to enter. He was off as quickly as he could go, making sure to tell his teacher as he went in "I got a new bat-pat (back pack)!"

Most of the other parents went in, but he seemed content to leave me at the door which made me happy because I knew he felt safe!!

God, thank you for such a beautiful, loving and fun little boy!! Watch over him while he's at school!

FAME!

Oh my goodness!

Who is this oh so talented, potential star?!!!!

( words can't be repeated more than once if someones already left a comment using words you wanted to use) and leave a comment on this post. Then copy and paste this onto your blog and we'll all do the same.
Peace out FOLKS!"

Note (posted by Lalainia):
I just realized I didn't quite read the instructions (I'm very tired!!!) so make sure you note that you CAN'T repeat any words that someone has posted before you...I'm going to go check what I posted!!!!

IT'S MY BIRTHDAY!!!!!

As you may already know -- I'm not one to 'shy' away from telling people it's my birthday. Even though I'm getting older (and don't really want to), I like taking time out to remember that this was the day many, many, years ago that I was brought into the world. And what a crazy world this is.

On another note, I went to Alissa Peterson's wedding today and it was beautiful! For those of you who don't know Alissa, I taught her musical theatre at the Lindbjerg Academy for many years and then she starred in 'Meet Me In St. Louis' when I directed it for Footlight. (The picture is a very old one that I took of her and her little sister -- who is now the spitting image of her!!)

She and her new husband are working with a group that trains people to go out and do 'missions' (ie. work projects, food distribution, schooling etc.) in other under priviledged countries. It's REALLY cool to see 2 young people so excited about giving to others! A real kick in the seat of my pants!!
