Whomum, so glad to hear that you are able to sit up and take some nourishment. How does jello sound to you? Or soup? Keep getting better! Sea, I have not been able to spot you on my tape yet but have not given up hope. Abby's post gives me another clue.

Mustard with the wrench! :>) eta: this is the clue from Sea's post that helped me find her: "and I'm just as short as usual". that, not only made me lol, it helped me find Sea because I was expecting a growth spurt from Sea. i'm expecting one for myself any day now. :>)

Thank you Abby. You got a laugh out of me. Was the Col. contemplating a pre-nup too?

What did you think of that guy that refused to sign the pre-nup? I don't think she should even consider marrying the guy.

Right now I'm wondering what to do with a project at my daughter's school. It's a fifties musical. I am one of about 5 mom's involved..but there are around 50 kids in the thing. The one mom in charge has not written a single list. She also has only one opinion for everything. I'm the one who has gone shopping for supplies. I guess everything will get done, but there just doesn't seem to be any organization. The play is only a short time away! The one mom was saying how we have time, and I reminded her the kids need the set placed so they can practice with props. I'm not a list maker normally, but even I know when there is a need for one. The mother in charge told me there wasn't much needed, but one of the art teacher's came up with at least 10 big projects..including 50 t-shirts. Ok, I'm not going to stress over this much!

Twiggy, I might be able to help you. I'm not sure what you are talking about. Are you talking about just props? Does a set need to be built. I know you aren't talking about anything big (with carpentry, etc.)...but are you just asking about props to make or buy? What about costumes? Let me know...it shouldn't be too hard , so don't stress...but I know it's easy to do so when you aren't getting any help. Also, renting an old 50's musical video (similar to the play) might help too.

Twiggy, I found this for 50's t-shirts. Many other ideas on google too. http://www.thet-shirtguy.com/JFPInt/nostalgia_4.htm

Abby, we're building this set ourselves, but not using wood. They have large panels that will go across the back with black and white checkered patterns. The panels are lattice and usually used for other things. There are large records going on the walls we made from cardboard and painted black. There's an arched trellis (normally used for weddings) that's being turned into a jukebox type door for the kids to enter. BUT, there are fake booths to be made from tables and chairs and lots of other things needing to be done including the t-shirts. There is a video from a previous production done in another state, and we're using it as a guide. I guess it stresses me at the lack of organization especially with so much left to do. I haven't said anything, though. The bossy mom isn't the type to listen anyway. I'm biting my tongue.

Oh, I see Twiggy. You have every right to be stressed with lack of organization, especially with so much to do. Sounds like you know what has to be done...just getting the help to organize it. Possibly plan a brief meeting, send e-mails, memos? Just explain it's an meeting just to organize the details of the play (or something like that?) Maybe best just to explain it (through memo, meeting, e-mail)...we just need to work out the loose ends? I know it's not "loose ends" worrying you. It just might work with your group to word it that way. (?)

I would love to do that, but I'm not in charge. It's frustrating. I just know a lot will be left to the last minute and it will be a big fiasco getting it done. I might speak to the teacher in charge privately and use the words..Loose ends. THAT might work. (crossing fingers) I'll let you know!

Twiggy, you do it because you want to help. Don't let this discourage you. Doing good is doing good....no matter what! Just do what you can....do what you think helps. If it's a flop...so what. I've never been to a child's play that I didn't enjoy. All can go wrong...but so what? I think of the movie "Parenthood"...just love that movie. Remember grannie's statement at the end about the roller coaster. That is really what life is all about. So true. Also, not trying to make less of your stress. Not at all. We all need to just vent (I do...sometimes don't want any advice...just to vent). I'm not always sure when/how to respond to people at TVCH....hope I don't offend.

Right now, I've been missing someone around here and after reading Rosie's post, it finally dawned on me who it was. What's happened to Mocha?

right now, i am thinking of staying up half the night so i can sleep real late tomorrow. my one day off out of 12 days and i have to have some blood work done in gilroy. my dd wants to practice driving over the pass, so i told her she can take me...after she gets out of school. thank God it's minimum day all week for our fair. she should be home about 2:00, which will put us in gilroy about 3:00 p.m. i am so worried i will forget or get lightheaded from not eating and have to eat something. i need to fast, so nothing besides water until after 3:00 p.m.? ick! the good thing is, dd and i are going to the in 'n out burger place in gilroy (we don't have one in our town) after my lab work to see what their food is like. my son works at one of them in san diego and everything i have read about in 'n out sounds great. i know the family that owns it is really considerate about pay, working conditions, food quality, etc. they gave everyone easter sunday off, but still gave them pay for it. my ds makes more money than me and i have worked for 30 years!

Right now I'm watching Bowling for Soup perform on one of the late night shows. I listened to this group live all throughout college...in local bars. They started in my hometown in 1994.
