Okay-this week is just going to be insane. This is the week of the musical that our stake is producing. I tried out for a singing role, read about it here, made call backs, but not the final slot. However, the guy that composed the music knows that I play the flute and asked me to be in the orchestra for the show. So while I didn't end up on stage like I hoped, I have enjoyed dusting off my flute and playing with the orchestra. The show is going to be AMAZING! If you live in the Southern California area and want to attend e-mail me for info, it is so powerful with wonderful original pieces and a story of hope, Jesus' last week or so of life and of His love for us, and it's FREE. It seriously is going to be amazing, and I am not just saying that since I am part of it. Since this is the show week I am feeling the pressure.
Lucas took this picture--they have seen me doing this a lot latelyWe have practice or a performance, every night this week, except tonight. And to top it off I just seem to have a million other things going on this week. Here is my schedule on Thursday.

Okay typing it out that way makes me realize I do have a couple of hours each day to maybe breath. But for some one's day which usually consists of 1 maybe two things.. and then to have a week of this is just a bit overwhelming.
Plus to top it off, I realized that between my OB (apts every four weeks now), the perinatal doctor, who will once again tell me everything looks great but come back every month-argghh, and my cardiologist I will going to the Dr. every week this month. Actually this week I don't have a Dr.'s apt but next week I have two.
So while I will still be posting things this week I might be neglecting commenting on my favorite blogs a bit :( But I will be back in my commenting glory soon.
P.S The giveaway winner will be announced tomorrow along with February's cooking club reviews.

ReplyDeleteNow why did that publish twice?
ReplyDeleteBreak a leg!
ReplyDelete(But not really. Then you'd have even more doctor appts.)
that looks like one of my day's schedules. A totally unsolicited piece of advice.... When you do have one of those downtime minutes, sit and relax. Don't try to cram anything else into your already packed days. I actually love those days, because at the end of it, you feel so productive. Not that taking care of kids while gestating another one isn't productive.
ReplyDeleteYikes, that is a crazy schedule!!
ReplyDeleteI played the flute in middle school and high school. I still have mine as well, but a couple of the pads are bad, and I think a spring is broken. I pull it out and do my best to play it every once in awhile. The dog howls. LOL
Oh my wow..hang in there and remember to breathe!! I feel like that often. Take care of you hon..and have some fun with the performance!! Hugs, Sarah
ReplyDeleteWow, what a week. Hang in there.
ReplyDeleteI totally relate to the 1 or 2 things per day on a normal day--sometimes my schedule is like yours and it's overwhelming! It sounds like the performance is going to be great! We have something similar in Vegas called "Savior of the World" but I'm not sure if it's original music or not. You are lucky to live in an area with so many talented people .... and lucky for them to be around you!
ReplyDeleteOh my, you do have a lot on your plate. Hang in there and try to remember to breath...
ReplyDeleteSuddenly I am hearing The William Tell Overture in my head!
ReplyDeleteThat is quite a lot of scheduling, but it will be so worth it when you are at the performances! Keep practicing, don't worry about commenting and have a blast at the show!!!!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your crazy busy schedule! I wish I could go to your play too! Enjoy yourself and when the week is over, take a nap! ;)
ReplyDeleteWoohoo! good luck! I would totally come see it if I were in the area.
ReplyDeleteGood Luck! When I was in high school I sang in the choir at the Oakland Temple Pagant. Everyone got to sing so it really doesn't say anything about my voice. Everyone else covered up my singing! How fun that you get to be a part of it.
ReplyDeletewow me and the Y.M. from my church will hear you play we are going wed. good luck tip: take deep breathes b4 u start it helps calm the nerves
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like a lot to me! Good luck ... and take it easy whenever you can!

Oh wow, craziness ensuing, hu? Best of luck. I really wish I could see your musical. It sounds wonderful.
ReplyDeleteThe flute was the instrument I wanted to learn to play in middle school. Unfortunately, my dad would only let me play the clarinet we already had on hand (from when he was in school). I am now living vicariously through you! Good luck! I'm sure you'll be awesome!
ReplyDeleteGood luck in the play! That is awesome you are doing it, even if you didn't get your coveted part!
ReplyDeleteHow exciting to be playing the flute in this production...wish I was in So Cal to come see it. Way to keep busy pregnant lady!
