Mondays

Christmas is gone from the house.  Steve took Sunday and got everything down--tree, outside lights, inside stuff, all of it, and out to the garage, pretty much by himself, which is a huge job.  It's good to have the deck and house back to normal, too, though.

We had the most beautiful weekend, with temps so warm I didn't even have a jacket on, in sunshine.  We got some flying in on Saturday, and Sunday we just stayed home and worked around the house.  But I truly enjoyed this weather in January.  It makes days like today more palatable.  Today the sky was gunmetal grey, the winds kicked up high, it spat rain, the clouds hung low and dirty looking, it was just a bleh kind of day.  It's hard not to let my mood reflect the sky's mood some days.  I may be a Pisces, but I seem to be more attuned to air than water.  ;)

Ann was having a great day, then got sick at the end of the day.  I wish we could learn why, what is going on, and fix it.  :(

Kaylee had auditions tonight.  She was really proud of how she did, said she nailed Dolly.  She also did the best job on "Millie", and the director seems to be pointing her into that role instead.  She's annoyed because she feels she had a better performance than the other two girls who seem to be being considered for Dolly, but both those girls have had main cast roles before, and Kaylee hasn't, so it's a little guessing that the hierarchy would have one of them get it instead whether they were better or not.  I don't think it should be that way, I think if you can outperform someone, you should get the role.  But what do I know.  If Kaylee does get Millie, she will at least be main cast, the smallest role of the three leading ladies, so that will meet that goal, at least.  She worked really hard on Dolly though, and one of the other two girls didn't practice a thing on it, and sings flat every time.  The other girl DID practice, and her mom is the head of the boosters, who does all the work for ticket sales, setting up stage, etc.  This is why I don't like politics....

I think she finds out callbacks after school tomorrow, which we're both assuming she at least gets a call back (THAT would be bad!), and then performs again Wednesday, to finish making up the director's mind.

I had a school board meeting tonight that was loud, long, and involved a bit of an argument.  That's always fun.

Well, busy day tomorrow too.  Shall try to sleep.
