illness, Clyde High School, and other ramblings

welllll hello to you- you MUST be cool if you're reading my blog.... only cool people read MY blog. that's probably because I AM the COOLEST person you know.... ok, so maybe i'm a dang loser, but it's ok, i'm ok with that.

so yeah last time i was blogging i had been sick, then like a week later i got sick AGAIN- upper respiratory infection. i get one EVERY november. never fails. so that was fun, i was sick TWICE within 2 weeks. fun stuff. NOW, Lincoln is sick. which is GREAT becuase we have plans EVERY DAY of this holiday week since all of scott's family is in and all of my family is here (well, my sister is the only one of us who doesn't live here- but this year she brought a BOY with her!!!!!! WHAT?). today was the beginning of the festivities. dinner and just a fun evening together with scott's siblings, spouses, our niece, and scott's dad..... well guess who's NOT going to be at that gathering? that would be me and my son... yes, because Lincoln was up until 1am last night vomiting and now has a fever. funnnnnn fun! i only hope that this is a short 24-hour type of thing because tomorrow is dinner with scott's siblings, spouses, our niece, and scott's mom- and then FRIDAY is a day with MY family (plus my grandparents... and mitsi's boy friend. NOTICE that i typed boy friend and NOT "boyfriend" - there's a difference) then saturday and sunday are packed with more family stuff, so y'know, i don't need a sick kid on my hands.... this is my favorite time of year! i mean, c'mon, i LOOOVE food!

so you all know (because i blog about it often) that i am doing music direction of the Clyde HS musical... our first performance is a week from this saturday, which is scary because of course we're never ready until the absolute last minute. but seriously guys, i thought working with high school kids was going to drive me out of my mind... but it's just like old days for me, i mean, every day that i get to spend out there reminds me of how much i MISS the theatre life! being with my friends every day for rehearsal, being goofy, singing and dancing and getting to be someone i'm not with the spotlights on me- AH i miss it SOOO much! and it's been really fun hanging out with these high school kids- even though i really thought it would be horrible, i'm having sooo much fun. especially since i have allowed myself to let loose around them- i don't have to be some stuffy 'professional' adult around them, i'm being my goofy ass self- and it's been so fun. especially with the 4 or 5 main girls. we're hilarious. plus i get to be goofy and immature and get paid for it! WHAT WHAT?!

today, since lincoln is sick, i'm staying home and baking pies for the next few days of Thanksgiving dinners. my husband is going to go out and meet with his family this evening, because i hate for him to miss the opportuninty to spend time with them when i could easily handle lincoln by myself at home. y'know.

i feel like i should be more exciting.... but alas, i fail miserably once more.

ok so i'm stumped. i had more in mind when i started this blog, but have reached a SERIOUS blogger's block (ha, i crack myself up)... i hope you all have a FANTABULOUS Thanksgiving and ummm i love you all :)
