Thursday, Jul. 05, 2007 - 9:04 a.m. OH the Drama!
Spent all the livelong day inside
yesterday as it seems with the current weather situation we should all be
building arks and forming our own zoos. AND, you won't believe this,
watched the entire 13 hour series on the History Channel, "The
Revolution." I'm not kidding. It started at 9 in the morning
and ended at 10 last night. Oh, at some point I went and did the grocery
shopping, picked up breakfast tacos, washed and folded a few loads of laundry,
cleaned the kitchen and ran the dishwasher, fed the kiddos, changed their
clothes, changed their diapers throughout the day, let the dog outside to pee on
a few occasions, cleaned up cat puke, held Micro Dude for half the day
because he would get cranky if I put him down, kissed boo-boo's, made cups of
milk for Little Dude, was bitten on BOTH boobs - HARD - by Micro Dude, picked up
a million and one toys scattered all over by Little Dude, straightened up our
bedroom and made the bed, all while the hubby sat planted horizontally on the
sofa either in our bedroom or the den because he had a sinus infection and
didn't feel well; "I had a fever this morning for God's
sake!" *Sigh* I'm so so sorry you were sick. So sorry
that when YOU'RE sick, you have NO problem eschewing each and every task that
needs to be done around here and you feel you have no obligations or
responsibilities because you *gasp* HAD A FEVER!! OMG!!! See the
above paragraph? Well, that's me on ANY given day, whether I feel well or
not. And I do it WITH and without a fever, and with sore hands, and with a
bone spur in my hip that makes my entire leg hurt, all the time..... You
need to rest. You really do. Maybe then, when YOU are rested, then
you can take up the reins and do everything in this house that needs to be done
in a single day on your day off or the weekend and let ME rest. I am not
afforded the luxury of a day off. Yes, I fully admit it, I have HORRIBLE
Mommy Martyr syndrome. In the most clever of segues, I do have
some GREAT NEWS... I do NOT, I repeat, DO NOT have arthritis. Last
week my doc ordered blood work and everything came back A-OK. My hands
hurt most likely from repetitive motion and pressure from lifting and carrying
of the kiddos, and really, it makes total sense. My poor right hand, I use
it to lift Micro Dude in his baby car seat, lifting gallons of milk out of the
fridge (hey, a gallon of milk weighs quite a bit), picking up Little Dude to get
his britches changed (that kid has GOT to start using the dadgum
potty!).... all of my blood work came back normal. I'm
healthy! So why don't I feel like it? Oh and this week was the saga of the Drama
of the Drama. I will have to pen an epic on this one. Here's the
Cliff Notes version.... I resigned from the Theatre's Board of Directors
at our board meeting this past Sunday, which was to have taken place the prior
Sunday, but didn't because the Artistic Directors never showed. And I
don't take kindly, as a member of the Board of Directors, much less the
president of such (and a group that acts in good faith and with utmost
integrity), to being referred to as a "cancer," "petty,"
"backstabbing," and whatever else the artistic director called the
board in his verbal assault to and of me after our J&H dress rehearsal a few
weeks back and in writing to the rest of the board. Oh yes people, the
maturity and emotional stability here will rival ANYTHING at TRF. At least
with TRF, many a time we are dealing with teenagers and people who are in their
early 20's (and don't get upset with that remark 20 somethings - *I* was
that age once too and THOUGHT I was the most mature individual on the planet and
knew EVERYTHING....). With the above, we are talking about people in their
50's. But I shall, after some time, relay all in gory detail. I do
have one remaining duty to the theater, and that is to helm the annual meeting
on July 29th, and then I am done. Done done done done done ......
Did I mention DONE? Jen, yes, please, quit your job.
PLEASE! Don't let time that you could be spending with your children and
enjoying them go by. You know and I know that kids can be a royal pain in
the tooshie sometimes, but by God, they are the most wonderful things in the
world, and it would sure make your life simpler to stay home and not have to
worry about someone else's kids, scheduling the nanny, the rotating door of
nannies..... your health will thank you for it and so will your
psyche. BIG BIG hugs to you! This
weekend kicks off TRF with new performer and new character orientation and the
performance company mixer and I am all kinds of glad for it. Normalcy
shall once again reign supreme!!! Song
Virus du Jour: A few days ago I had the ULTIMATE song virus in my
noggin', "Its a Small World." But I shant torture you with one
today. Oops! Sorry! Already let it out of the bag! Useless
Trivia du Jour: Read this,
its all KINDS of funny. |
