Is there a repellent for the monkey? And if not would I become a rich woman when I invent one? These were my thoughts last night around 10:00 p.m. when I was helping the last monkey out of his costume so his parents could take him home and tuck him into bed.I then cleaned the dressing room and took my one lullubye ballerina and one flying monkey home to their beds. We have all been very busy with late nights. Today is a holiday at the school so my husband is home until 3:00 and the kids and I are home until 5:00 than there is the play this evening. I am going to put shovels outside my front door so all that come to visit can get to the couch. My mom called early this morning while we were all blissfully asleep, they will be coming today for a visit and spend the weekend. The nice part about that is they can help with the kids while I help the other kids. The bad thing is they have two unruly dogs that always go to the bathroom somewhere in my house at least once that I actually know of during the visit. The other negative is my mother is a pack rat and packs a lot I mean a lot of what ever she can fit into boxes and their Lincoln over to my house to leave. So basically if there is anyone dropping by this humble home anytime soon they might be safer on the porch than in the house. It will be nice for the kids to have some down time from the school and not have to leave as early as me and go on the nights their not performing. I brought this up to the kids and the way home last night (we live about thirty minutes away from the school) and said if papa and granny spend the night you won't have to come every night you can relax and go to bed at a decent time won't that be nice. The tears started to flow and the words came in waves of agony "But momma the theater is our life", "Momma they need me back stage" "Momma what if they need a stand in?" "Momma it helps me stay in character when I am with the other actors" there is somthing very strange hearing these words from 6 and 7 year olds. Well thanks for letting me talk. Take care and I will see you over the rainbow.
