Saturday Auditions

Saturday morning started early with cleaning the church. We went straight from the church to auditions for the fall performance at the community theatre. Luckily, we were almost the first ones there. Took about an hour to get all 6 through the auditions. They don't let the parents watch so I had to go on the word of the other kids on how well everyone did. Rhett fell and hurt his rump right before he had to do the dance. He came out crying and said he did terrible. Stephen said he sucked as well. Dalin was really excited because "someone" had told him he was terrific.

We went home and the kids had lunch and quiet time while I went and got the rest of the school supplies. I got a call from Chelsey telling me she had rear ended someone at a stop light. Apparently we got the worst of it which was just a hole in the bumper the exact shape of the guy's hitch. They didn't exchange insurance or anything so we will see how it turns out. She was heading to the movies with some friends and called me a few hours later sobbing. She had stood up when the movie was over and forgot about her phone. She remembered before she even got out of the theater and went back to get it. Gone. They called it and searched, nothing. I went back a few hours later to check again and still nothing. She had to go to work right after the movie and for the second day in a row, the girl who worked before her didn't do her job so Chelsey was stuck doing everything. She called crying saying it was the worst day of her life! I assured her it would all be fine and told her get a hold of herself.

Glade was going to the gym to run his 18 miles for the day so I went with some friends to an Ambassadors of Light performance. It wasn't what I expected, but it was fun. After, I ran to a reception right before it ended and chatted with some friends there. It was a very fun and busy day. In conclusion to the auditions, Whitley, Chelsey and Stephen all got call backs. They were very excited.

Poor Chelsey! I hope she finds her phone, but it's probably long gone. Bummer.

Cool about callbacks. You're a good mom to let your kids do plays. I'm not so sure I'd be up for the extra work!
