A Midsummer Night’s Dream

Mistaya as a fairy.

The cast and crew did a great job and delivered a very entertaining Shakespearean play. 

Opening night jitters definitely affected my fairy. She lost the family tickets, we were late applying her make-up and curling her hair. 

Tabs had a friend over and the friend’s dad never did show up to get her, so we had to scramble to find another friend to look after her as we could not take her to the play with us as it was sold out.  

                                                                                                                
Pip fell asleep on the way to the play and slept through the first half. Only to awaken in her dad’s arms and let out a long, loud and drawn out yawn.

Mistaya reported she heard the yawn from on stage and knew it was the Pip.

Tabs back at school and well.

I have the little cold now. I slept in and didn’t go to the gym as I want to knock it out fast. Perhaps having my teeth cleaned yesterday left me with tiny cuts in my gums which let in the virus.  

Must take Pip to daycare. Another 
busy weekend. Mist has three performances and a cast party to attend. Tabs has soccer and a piano recital to attend. Yes, boo-hoo….it is going to be a lovely weekend and all I want to do is head for the wilderness, lie in the grass and smell the spring flowers all day long. The Balsam flowers and Saskatoon bushes are in full bloom and the mountains are alive with yellow and white blossoms. I love this time of year.

A child in Vernon has the Okanagan’s first case of swine flu. I just want it to 

end its run and soon. The global hysteria is creating too much bad karma. I could natter on and on this morning but alas, we will be late for daycare and my work.
