It's August - I'm behind!!!!!!!
I haven't been computering because all of July was dedicated to the Summer Youth Musical at church. And I mean ALL of it. My girlies went on a grandparents trip for 10 days, and I divided the time they were gone between the musical and Gabe's abenchures ("adventures"). I foolishly promised him adventures while his sisters were gone, and being four and a half, he interpreted that as every single solitary dang-blasted day. We had swimming abenchure, eating at Sonic abenchure, playing with Minnie abenchure, playing with Lizzie abenchure, and a real actual abenchure at Brazos Bend State Park with his dad. The other abenchures - Hobby Lobby, Arne's Warehouse, etc. - were musical errands in abenchure disguises.
Welp, the musical is FINALLY FINALLY over, and that leaves me behind on everything else in my life! ARGH! And to make matters worse, I've found a series of books that I am way into reading rather than all the real-life stuff that awaits.
Thus, the library books are overdue, the kitchen is a pigsty, the clothes are unwashed, the girls are still packed , I have to ship something and get my car inspection sticker and a haircut and my hair dyed and blah blah blah.
PS I hear the musical went well. I was displeased with the results of my labors, but I think I'm biased against it. The kids did awesome, and they had fun so I hear, and isn't that all that really counts? So they tell me.
In other news... there is no other news. I gotta go make lunch for the kids and actually factually do my errands. But I wish I were reading.

I'm right there with you! My house is a pigsty, boxes everywhere, and I have a million things to do. It is so stressful!!!
I wanted you to know my parents LOVED the musical. They spent at least 30 minutes telling us everything and at times were in tears they were laughing so hard over it. Yes, Mike and Susan in tears from laughing. Let me tell you that is something special. They mentioned the black light act as one of their favorites, so you did good!!!
Oh my goodness - my kids told me that you did all the fish and undersea creatures for that number!!! I am soooooo impressed - it was amazing!
Did the girls tell you about their abenchures and how I got to see them in Utah? Tell them I miss them already. I also heard the musical went great.
in other news...."no news is good news without gary ganews!" member that one? the musical was awesome...in great part due to your number. you got musical dismorphic disorder or some-sing?
did anyone record it?? I want to see it!!
I actually did get my hair cut and the library books returned and the package shipped. Everything else remains undone. Except the reading... I'm totally doing that.
Thanks for the encouragement on the musical, y'all. Ash - no you don't.
Sounds about right. Which books are you reading? I love series books that such in and I'm in need!! Won't you post a pic of your haircut? It'd be so fun to see you! Love you so much. Congratulations on finishing the musical. I bet it was awesome.
SYM was great. I know you hate it, but you really have a talent for all things thespian.
P.S. Your current haircut and color are my fave on you. So many options: punk rock, 60s mod, and of course...rooster!
Amanda, my hair is always the same - short and red. But I may take pictures styled as Court has suggested, if I bother to shower ever again in my life. I feel crowish, and that ain't right.
