Don't Expect Perfection.... Cause You Won't Get It!

So my mom and her friends are all coming to the show this weekend.  I got her, what I think are, the best seats in the house and as the director... I SWEAR I have sat in everyone of them making sure the blocking was good.  Then, two of my oldests friends one of 27 years and one of 39 years... I KNOW right!?!?!   might becoming as well.  I could get pumped about that....  My kids are all coming to the matinee and some girls from the daycare are telling me they are coming.  I hope my cast doesn't rewrite the show this weekend! lol  I just sit back in the light booth and laugh because I swear it is a different show every night!     Last weekend M'Lynn tripped and said something smart about it... causing Shelby to laugh, and Truvy had to turn her around in the chair to face away from the audience until she composed herself... but the audience didn't help matters... they all laughed at them for losing thier composures!  Meanwhile I am thinking... "DON'T BREAK THE 4th WALL DAMMIT!!!" lol Theatre is like life... RAW and exciting! Yep... but you gotta love live theatre.... if you want perfection, go see a movie that has been edited that way.

Baby Food Roulette

One of our many games we played at the Hang out..... my counselors where so competitive with the kids!  Cracked me up!

This is Art!

Things are not always what they appear.

The calm before the storm.....

 

I am anxious to see where my thoughts take me...

Anxious to see where I land...

The boat that is overturned, slightly

and lays on a white stretch of sand.

Through the tall trees of Paradise

I can almost grasp a vine

But the earth beneath my feet turns fast

and soon I am running out of time.

Gravity pulls against me,

but I am to remain free to reclaim the life that I was born

And to get others ready

For the calm before the storm.

Proud of my girl

This week is Miss Oklahoma week in Tulsa at the Mabee center.  One year ago, I lived in a hotel with my family and endured this week.  It was stressful, hot and costly!  BUT, I was very proud of my daughter.  How many people can say their daughter had earned the right to be in the Miss Oklahoma Pageant.  Especially when we have NEVER done pageants.  This is a picture of her during that week.  But I am soo soo so glad we arent there THIS year! lol
