Since my Thursday was used up driving to and from Portland, I won't be posting a regular Theatre Thursday or Friends on Friday post. I did send in my information to the professor in charge of transfers in the theatre department at SOU and I am in the middle of an interview with Alaina B. whom I worked with on "Man With The Pointed Toes" that I will post next Friday. Thanks for hanging in there with me.
I did something really pathetic on Wednesday that I'm not proud of. I had thought I had signed up to bring a treat for J2's party and somehow got assigned cups and spoons. I found this all out on Wednesday when I was dealing with all the medication/insurance/doctor stuff and freaking out about if we were going to be able to get J1's medication.
I should have just bought the cups and spoons. I was stressing about how much cups and spoons cost verses apples or a bag of candy corn, like other mothers were assigned. In actuality, I was really worried about J1 and how much it would cost to drive up there and back. I was also stressing about the lost studying time.
So, I wrote a lame email, expressing my disappointment in there not being a distinction between signing up to bring cups and spoons and bringing a treat. Capital L-A-M-E.
His teacher wrote back saying to not worry about it and that another mother wanted to help and so she asked her to bring the cups and spoons. She also said that "It wasn't meant to be a burden." Ouch.
I wrote her back this morning and apologized. I realize now that I wasn't really upset about the cups and spoons but rather the drive to Portland, J1's health, my upcoming tests, etc. Unfortunately, it manifested itself as I was upset over cups and spoons.
Sometimes, I am really pathetic.
