Do I have anything to say?: Mickey the Cop

Mickey the Cop

Tonight, I missed the first rehearsal for the show I auditioned for and wrote about in this post. While I had a script, and was told I could be cast as an understudy, I did not find out until tonight. I will play "Mickey the Cop" and the "understudies" are going to perform in the Saturday show. So, I guess I have some lines to memorize! This is exciting, but also makes me a little nervous...it has been a LONG time since I was in a show and I wouldn't consider myself an "actress" although I did enjoy my stage time :o) (although I am certain I dealt with my share of nerves!) So, my performance will be June 20...I will keep y'all posted :o)

I almost managed to sleep through my alarm again this morning. This time it was "6:08" when I realized I didn't remember pressing the snooze button (and I DO recall having a dream that involved me driving with my eyes closed...rather unsuccessfully, surprisingly enough...yeah, I think a couple days off will be a VERY good thing!) I definitely stopped and got a coffee on the way to work...that kind of thing is NOT in the "budget" so I need to figure something out!

So, the next few weeks could be busy with rehearsals most nights from 7-10, some of those nights going straight from work...but, it should be a lot of fun. This director came to the high school in 2000 and I am the only one who was not her student. However, although I will be "the old one", I am SURE I will be learning a lot from these "theater girls" and I am rather excited about that.

Well, I am tired, so think it will be "early to bed" for me tonight!
Good night.

Who's Who

Updated September 2013

I have one sister who is married and has two boys. "A" was born June 2009 and "I" was born March 2012. We are both really close to my parents and have lots of "family dinners".

I wrote a lot about my patients when I first started this blog. Some patients are still growing and thriving, and others have lost their battles.

My first foster placements lived with me from June 2010-September 2011. They were sisters who were 15 and almost 3 when they were placed with me and are now 18 and 5. I called M "the teen" and L "the little one". They live with their mom who still has many issues, but are doing well (ok) and I still have (not enough) contact with them.

My second foster placement came to me September 6, 2012. I call her Zoe and she turned 5 in April. She has cystic fibrosis and has been a patient on my floor at the hospital. The plan is still reunification.

Ivy is a 17-year-old whose mom died just before Thanksgiving. She has a Guardian, but is unable to live with him due to some family issues. She has no other family who is willing/able to take her. She moved in with me the beginning of February. She moved to a group home at the beginning of August as her needs were too great for me with my schedule and having another child with special needs.
