Do you ever have those days when you just don't want to be somewhere. I was babysitting today, and I just did not want to be there. I wasn't in a bad mood or anything, I just didn't want to be there. Then I went to rehearsal hoping that it would be better. Nope, did not want to be there either. It was really strange.

My mouth is healing well. My gums are almost completely healed (I had all 4 of my wisdom teeth out). My tongue is going to take a little longer. I used to be tongue-tied. The tip of my tongue was attached to the bottom of my mouth, but not anymore! I have watched SO much Friends. The medicine makes me sleepy, so I've been in bed a lot watching TV and I have watched 3 seasons of Friends so far.

Godspell is going well, but the director is driving me crazy. You'd think I would have learned my lesson last year when we did The Fantasticks, but no. But this is really the last year I'm doing it! I love, love, LOVE the cast and am really glad that I'm getting to work with some them again. The director is just insane. I woke up to 4 voicemails from her on Saturday, FOUR!

I've been babysitting a lot. I worked for this family last summer and really enjoyed it. It's actually more of a mother's helper kinda deal. She has 3 special needs kids and just needs an extra pair of hands when her husband is working. Elias is 6 and he is severely autistic. He's non verbal which it makes it difficult, but he knows some sign language. Sophie is 3 1/2 and has apraxia. I don't know much about it, but she has a hard time doing things on command. It is some sort of auditory comprehension disorder. Amara is 1 1/2. No real issues have come up yet, but she's still a baby and needs lots of attention. I usually just play with Sophie and help out from time to time with the other kids. But she has been giving me a lot of trouble. Her favorite answer is "no" and she's becoming very whiny. So I've been spending more time with Elias. He is much easier to take care of and is very snuggly with me. I love that I can help them out, and I can't imagine what a day by herself with those kids is like.

My birthday is coming up! I don't really have anything planned. My family is coming over for a bbq but then I'm helping Kristi (the mom) put the kids to bed then I have rehearsal. That's pretty much it. My aunt & uncle sent me a "more cowbell" shirt. It has a silhouette of Will Ferrell with the cowbell and it says "more cowbell." It's gigantic, but I love it still the same.

I have to go to bed, I'm waking up early to get fingerprinted so that I can start getting paid for all of this babysitting. They don't have a lot of money, but they need help, so I get paid through medicaid.

Goodnight.
