This Saturday was like no other. We got home around 11 on Friday night from our opening night of Annie and I was awake by 5 am on Saturday. I couldn't go back to sleep but I wasn't worried about it cuz I knew I could take a short nap before our performances today. I got up and made rubber pancakes for the kids and some extremely scruptious home made bread. I headed to the grocery store to make sure we were ready for Sunday dinner and as I left the store, I looked at my phone and saw I had 6 missed calls. I called home to be informed that Katy had gashed her chin open and it was really bad. I wasn't too worried, I figured a little super glue and we would be fine. This was at 11 am, I was supposed to check in at the theater at noon for our 2pm performance. I got home to find her chin a gaping hole. We loaded up and headed to urgent care and were so blessed that there was only one other person there and two doctors. She was a real trooper and only did a little crying and some wimpering. To numb it they have to put the needle right in the sore and of course, that didn't go over well and by the end, we were both crying. She came through a true champ and 7 stitches to prove it.
We were out of urgent care by about 12:45 so we drove through McDonalds (part of the bribe to get her to hold still) and headed home to grab our stuff and head out to the theater. We got there around 1:25 and had to hustle into hair and makeup. A little bit of a frazzled way to start a show.
The shows went well, Mom and Whitley brought the kids to see the 2pm show...yes...Katy came and loved it. I was so tired by this time I just wanted a short nap. After eating pizza and subs provided by the theater, I found a little costume closet in the Drama room and curled up and snoozed for half an hour. Woke up with about half an hour to spare to redress and remake-up. Perfect. The second show went well as well, but I was so ready to be done by the end. Once it was over, I was trying to quickly gather the kids so we could go home and get to bed when my phone rang.
Some guy had found Jack across the street by his business. Mind you, his business is right by my house, he was not far away at all. BUT, he was concerned that we would let him roam around out in this heat and said he was considering just taking him to the pound. I spent a good ten minutes explaining Jack and his habits and how he was really fine....Just let him go!! ( I didn't say that part) They had actually driven him farther away from our house looking for a rescue. I finally convinced him to just leave him in our yard and that I would be home soon. I'm expecting doggie CPS any day now. Not what I needed at 10:30 at night after this day.
It really was an eventful day and I'm so grateful for all the good family and friends I have to help out and to support us. I'm grateful for the talents and means we have been given to allow us to participate in things like this. It's been a great experience. BUT, I'm ready for a little rest.
