Lots of stuff going on

So we're already at the end of February!!! Unbelievable! I thought that after the holidays things would slow down or get back to 'normal'. I'm finally starting to see that THIS IS NORMAL! LOL I thrive on organized chaos I guess.

Since the last time I wrote, we've continued our learning journey with all it's ups and downs. A is coming along nicely with his math. I kind of got off his back about the times table situation and moved on to division concepts. It was a good move, because he's seeing how division is the opposite of multiplication. And isn't that what I want anyway? I want him to understand and use the concepts!
B is reading, on her own schedule. Her math skills are progressing to doing actual addition problems. She enjoys adding EVERYTHING! haha

One day, out of curiosity, I was googling local theaters to see what's going on around town. And up pops an audition notice for the musical Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat!! I was up for the lead role of The Narrator about 20 years ago in L.A.! I didn't get it then, so it's always been in the back of my head that I would someday do it. Well, I got up enough nerve to actually go to the audition and ---I GOT THE PART!!
YAY! This was actually a huge hurdle for me to overcome. Having been out of the game for so many years, my confidence was, shall we say, lacking!
But, just like anything, if you love it, it comes back to you. It feels like I never stopped. I'm having a blast at rehearsals and can hardly wait to open in April!

One of my dreams has been to have my kids and husband see me on stage in a musical. And now it's going to come true. I couldn't be happier:)
