Wednesday, October 27, 2004Homeschooling at Its FinestMy kids and I want to share the excitement that we have over tonight's special homeschooling "class." The lunar eclipse that begins at about 8 p.m. ET is a very important and special science opportunity for the homeschool community, and it's the last total lunar eclipse until 2007. We're praying...

Rehearsals for the Broadway show are going well, though I'm still struggling with a couple of spots in my solo. I have my "costume" together and ready. I've told everyone I can think of...

In fact, the entire rest of the troupe applauded when I finished! I was so excited. Even though I messed up a couple of times, at least I know that I can iron out the little problems in the next three weeks, and by...

I was kind of worried because my co-director for kids' choir was out sick, and it was just me and the volunteering parent. But I had planned carefully and had decided that, for once, these kids were going to sit still and learn something. (My co-director, who is usually the...

I don't function well on less than 8 hours, and right now I am averaging 5 1/2, so I'm just going through the motions of life at the moment. My...

Broadway rehearsal was frustrating. I like the guy who's directing, but he totally disappointed me last night. We were all struggling with learning the blocking and singing our notes. We really ought to have... Sign in to see full entry.Thursday, October 7, 2004Feeling Kinda Down TodayPartly because of the death of my friend. (See my Inspirations blog for that story.) Partly because I have to nick $800 from the budget to fix the car... it did need a tune-up and brake shoes as well as the oil change....plus my mechanic says that the tires I've been babying along for the past six... Sign in to see full entry.Carless for Half a DayI remember today how much I hate the feeling of helplessness and isolation that comes when you are without personal transportation. My car is in the shop for a checkup and oil change, and I had to rely on someone else to get me home from dropping off the car and then to the office. And someone else...

I started putting things out and setting stuff up at 8:30 on Friday night, and went until 3 a.m., then I took a nap and went back out at 6 a.m. to finish. We had so much stuff in that shed and in Dad's garage (my parents and my brother helped) that we couldn't even get...

On the upside, though, while attacking the room of doom and sorting out the sale stuff from the take-to-the-attic stuff, I found my The Long Dark Tea-time of the Soul book on tape, which...
