Then, I had the opportunity to watch my beautiful daughter perform in a musical in front of her classmates. I had conferences for Ben and Luke tonight, so I wouldn't be able to see her tonight. I wanted to be sure to see the day-time performance. She did such a wonderful job! She's very natural on stage, and seems to enjoy herself! :) She didn't have as big a role as she would have liked, but she rocked in all she did! :) I snuck out at the end of the performance to grab the boys from school. Jess got home about the same time we did. She was puttering around, making sure she was ready for the evening performance. She was still all "made up" when she came up to me. She said, "Everyone says I look just like you when I look like this." I laughed and said who's everyone? She said all her friends told her that! I laughed and told her she was beautiful. A bit later she was watching me put on some eyeliner. I peeked over and said I was sorry she was doomed to look like her mother! I mean, who wants to think they look like their mom, right?? She looked completely shocked, and told me she thought she had never looked better in her life. Makes my heart smile. She's such a sweetheart! :)
After a bit of scrambling, Jess got to school to get ready for her evening performance. I grabbed the boys and headed to the elementary school for their conferences. I was happy to hear what a wonderful job Benny is doing in pre-school! Although he acted shy during the conference, his teacher assured me he does wonderful in class, and is a natural leader. :) We headed upstairs to Luke's conference. We waited in the hall, only to find his teacher was running late. Shoot! I had hoped to catch some of Jessica's performance tonight! As the teacher popped out to welcome the next set of parents, she apologized she was so late. I told her it was no problem. She asked if we were going to be late for anything. I told her it was no big deal. I tried to assure her it was all fine, but when she heard Jessica was in the musical and it had just started, she said Luke is a wonderful young man, and we could reschedule his conference. Now, as a teacher, I hate to make someone do that! She refused to take no for an answer, and suggested we meet tomorrow after school. Yay! I will still be able to meet with Luke's teacher, and I'll get to see Jess again! What a wonderful surprise! :)
The only downside to my day, was that Forrest was stuck at work and wasn't able to share it with me. But, he is off tomorrow and off for the weekend! :) Looking forward to it!! :)
