I knew my son's play was today. I rushed out the door and realized I was starving - I forgot to buy milk yesterday so I did not have my customary breakfast of carnation instant breakfast. I was worried my blood sugar would plummet, thus leaving me a walking zombie of my former self and so I rushed to the gas station, bought a slice of dessert pizza and rushed to the school. I BARELY made it there on time - the play (according to the sheet of paper that got sent home) started at 10:15am. I was immediately let in (you have to buzz in and show your identification but I have so many kids at that school they know me and knew why I was there) and I rushed to the room where the play was being performed. I was worried because I didn't see any other parents there but I figured they had all showed up at 10am to get good seats.

Imagine my suprise when I walked in ant the play was almost over!!! My jaw dropped to the floor. I saw people turning to look at me and I felt all the blood rushing to my cheeks. Here I am, THE MOTHER TO THE STAR OF THE THE ENTIRE PLAY and I didn't show up on time! There was nothing I could do so I sat down and started videotaping. My biggest worry was that The Star would be upset with me for missing the first half of the play, or for not videotaping it for his dad.

Luckily the director stopped the play and decided to start all over again. She announced that she forgot what time she put on the paper and started the play at 10:05am. Luckily another set of parents came in after me or I would have thrown a royal hissy fit - feeling like I was the only parent who did not know the play was starting early and MY kid is playing the starring role!

So they started over LOL. I got to video the whole thing but here's a pic of the star!

When it was over the Star came over and gave me a big hug (he's suddenly all about hugs lately) and his script. I told him I wanted his autograph. Then I went to get Bossman from his class but OOPS! They had already left! So I had to RUSH home to get there before the bus did.

WHEW! All I've done today is rush! Here's some random flower pics cuz my facebook friends are sick of seing them LOL:
