Poor M

I'm not quite sure how M ended up in two plays and band this spring, but she did. So far it's been OK, but this is the killer week.

Monday:
4-5:30 Rehearsal for Play 1
6-9 Dress Rehearsal for Play 2

Tuesday:
3:45-5:45 Religious School

Wednesday:
3-3:30 Dress Rehearsal for Band
6-9 Dress Rehearsal for Play 2

Thursday:
4-5:30 Rehearsal for Play 1
6:15 Call for Band Performance
7 Band Performance

Friday:
5:30 Call for Play 2
7 Play 2 Performance

Saturday
9 Call for Play 2
10:30 Play 2 Performance

And then at 2:00 on Saturday there is the reward: all-ages St. Patrick's Day Irish punk show that you Red Sox fans so wish you could attend.

At any rate, it looked ugly, but I sent a note to her teacher explaining why homework might get short shrift, and we were ready to go.

Then she got sick again. She was sick last week, a kind of not-so/whiny sick that drove me crazy but got her two days out of school. Only now she is really sick. 103.1 "Mommy, I can't move" in the middle of the night sick. Skipped rehearsal for Play 1 yesterday, made it to Dress Rehearsal for Play 2 double-dosed on Tylenol and Advil, and collapsed when she got home. Home sick and miserable with Daddy today. Forget religious school. Actually, I'm ready to forget everything, including school and band, so long as she can make her Friday and Saturday performances, because given her part, it's going to be a big problem for them if she can't do it, plus she will be so very very sad.

I think it's going to be a long week.

Poor baby. We'll cross all of our fingers and toes in the hopes that she's all better before the week gets much older.

by all-ages Irish punk show, of whom are you speaking? I'm concerned that my and the Red Sox favorite band would be playing, in which case, yes I'm very very jealous.
hang in there M!
