Now look down there. What's the point you ask? Ok, I'll admit it, I am a sell out. I now have ads on my blog. I have decided to combine two things I enjoy doing ....blogging and shopping. So if you will be so kind and each time you read my blog click on one of my ads. You don't have to buy anything, just click and look around. Every time you click I get paid a few cents. (I made .04 yesterday) I have to make at least $10 to receive a check and no, I can not click on my own ads or they will kick me out! I can't decide what to do with all of my big earnings -- maybe I will use it for shopping, maybe for vacation spending money or maybe I will tithe it. I haven't decided yet.
Now for a totally random transition. Every summer I look for camps and things for my kids to do so that they won't lay around all summer like a bump on a log watching television. At the beginning of this summer I thought, "This is going to be a relatively slow summer, slow with not much to do." It is turning out to be just the opposite.
My kids have been given an opportunity at Permian Playhouse to participate in their next production. Any guesses as to which play it is? (HINT: It's a musical)
We've got trouble, right here in Odessa city, with a capital.....you get the idea. We are coming in late on rehearsals so my kids are having to play catch up. They will be performing in several song & dance numbers and Peyton will be truly stretching herself as she plays a boy. (There is more to it than scratching & spitting) Many of the other children have already had a few weeks of rehearsing, Hayden is having a bit of a challenge with the stage direction. (Left, right, dyslexics get those a little mixed up) Rehearsals are every night from 6:30-9:30 and they are getting use to this schedule. (When do ac-TORS eat and bath?) They are use to having day camps & going to bed at 9:30, so this is a change for this summer. The cast has been very helpful & offer them pointers, cross your fingers because D-day will be 6/23. They will cut those who do not know their dances and songs on that day. We are so thankful to our friend Chalace for this opportunity. They are working very hard & hoping to make the cut. Hayden told me tonight he gets a tight feeling in his chest when he goes on stage & that it is the same feeling he has when he is playing soccer or taking a test. I explained that it was anxiety & told him to take a deep breath and just relax and slow down his heart rate.
He really wants to participate in this and I am hopeful he can conquer this challenge with his normal moxy. What ever happens, we are so proud of them for taking a chance.
