We made it!

The play was a huge success! I will have pictures on here soon, but for anyone of you who has a facebook account, I believe that there you can friend The Gilbert School Grease page. I know my mom put a bunch of stuff there.

The last few weeks were wild. I was beyond exhausted, as was my family and my crew. But we did it, and it was fantastic. From what I am told, we had a record breaking audience and profit, as well as my uber-boss telling me that it was the first time we had a production of this magnitude from which he recieved NO COMPLAINTS from anyone--not even the janitors.

(And for any of you not affiliated with education, that is HUGE)

My exhaustion, as well as the overwhelming amount of clean up to do is steeled up by the never ending stream of compliments I get to bask in. Tons of email, tons of phone calls--many of them from people I have never met just to let me know how awesome it all was. The best part of what they tell me is that they noticed how much FUN the kids looked like they were having, how happy they seemed. Seeing that was my main goal, I feel like I accomplished what I set out to do.

Poor Scott is still trying to catch up on rest--it was the third morning in a row that he was still in bed when I left for work. The kids are trickling back to school--I noticed a large # of my cast were out for a day or two! I found myself stuck on the couch Sunday and could not move. The laundry is still piled up, and the house is only partially clean, but that will all sort itself out in the next week or two, I am sure.

We go get Susie and Dan tonight, and they will spend their Easter break with us next week. Mom and Dad will get here Sunday and spend the week since I still need to cover for the teacher I have been in for for six weeks now. I think he will be out for another two or three weeks or so. I haven't heard officially when he will be back. Alannah and Aidan both get report cards this week. It will be interesting to see how the play has impacted us all......ohhhh boy!!!! Hopefully not too badly.

I will get more on here very soon--bear with me.
