While I Was Sleeping...
So how’s everyone doing? Good I hope. Busy too I imagine, huh? Are any of you girls free over the weekend? You know this weekend is Belding’s yearly coming out party so if you’re free and want to come around I think I should pretty much be free too. I’m psyched cause I got a bunch of Christmas CD’s burned and I’m hoping to get more good Christian music from the Wittenbach’s sometime soon… and I think they have quite a collection of good stuff I’d like to get my hands on. Hmmm… let me see if I can remember this week at all… Well today “AB” and I left at the crack of dawn to go to Battle Creek cause Jeanine had a meeting and a few things to do. Today Sydney also started gymnastics, we came home after her practice and made it by almost 8pm. Yesterday Heather and her kids stopped on over in the big chaotic mess of “AB” making peach jam and cobbler. I was busy burning music and Sody was chilling cause she had the day off. Tuesday “AB,” Liz, Tye, and I went to the mall and did a bit of shopping and all that jazz. Any further then that and I’m a bit fuzzy. I just know I’ve been busy running here and there. Because I only have 2 more real Sundays left here I have to talk at Church this coming one. I really don’t know what I’ll say yet, but if any of you guys want to come over and support me in the audience that would be cool cause I think I have to speak at both services.
Well there’s something else… its kind of interesting and some of us have our fingers crossed, really crossed to know how it will turn out (ahhhhh)! This morning when we got to Jeanine’s she was like “I don’t know if I should tell you this but I have something to tell you.”
I was like “WHAT.”
I had no idea what she was going to say so when she was like, “I signed up for tickets to the Oprah show…”
I was like “Oh, ok, hmmm…”
“Well I thought since you were leaving soon it would be kind of fun to go, don’t you think? I signed up and filled up a form to be in the audiance for this show about stressed out moms. It would be great if we could go, don’t you think?”
“Really?! That’s great!”
“Don’t get too exited though because the chances of us actually getting to go to the show is like what, one in a million??? They probably won’t call us but I thought it would be worth trying…”
Any way, I was just like ok and went about my day trying to keep up with those very busy twins. Finally when they were napping and after Jeanine had come home in the afternoon I was just laying on the couch feeling beat. Jeanine apparently had a rough night too so she wanted to take a little nap. I was surprised and thought it was kind of funny but I was so tired that I actually dozed off! Then I hear Sydney yelling something about the TV not working and I sort of vaguely heard Jeanine on the phone. Then when I was hardly awake, she was like “Guess who called?! It was The Oprah Show!”
Any way, I guess the taping is on Tuesday which is also Jeanine’s first day of teaching so she’s been trying to call everyone to see if it would be ok if she could go or what?! I mean, it being the first day and all. Also it would be great if we could have 6 tickets cause besides “AB,” Jeanine, me, and Sody… I guess it would be nice if Marnie and Julie could come too. Any way, she had to tell the lady from the show that she’d have to find out so I hope she doesn’t find other people and isn’t like forget them… or that Jeanine’s school isn’t like, No you can’t take a personal day on the first day or whatever! Apparently since the show is about ‘Overly Stressed Mom’s Jeanine wrote, “I have a 6 year old and two 2 year olds, and I’m a full time Special Ed teacher, doesn’t that say it all?” Also I guess she mentioned me and said I had lived here in MI for about 17 years and was leaving in about 2 weeks so it would be great if I could go to The Oprah show before I left. So yeah when they called she was taking a nap too and Sydney answered. “AB” siad that she was like “Grandma they want to talk to mom and I forgot to tell them she’s not here because she’s sleeping!” So then “AB” took the phone and then the lady told them who she was and “AB” was like, “Oh, is this about the stressed out mom’s? Well this is her mom and I’m here and she’s sleeping so she won’t be so stressed out but I’m sure she’ll want me to wake her up for this one…” or something like that. So any way, that’s the story and I guess I’ll let you all know what happens. I’m really hoping though that this coming Tuesday we’ll be in Chicago and in the HARPO studios, cause it would be sooo cool… but I don’t know… Keep your fingers crossed that things will work out for us cause it would ge so great!!! Alrighty then, I’m off. Let me know what’s up with you guys and if you are free sometime soon.
