Auditions

Saturday I went to audition for Les Mis being produced by a local acting troupe/company that I have never worked with before.It would be nice to work with new people... discover other's talents...etc. I went to this audition because yes, I'd LOVE TO BE IN THE SHOW!! I'd LOVE TO GET A LEAD!!  But mainly I went for the experience. This was my second 'real' singing audition. And by 'real' I mean I had to have something prepared. I got through it... now I get to wait... and wait...

Bed time revisited...

Lately bedtime has been getting out of hand AGAIN! Monday night was the last straw for me. Tuesday I took control. It worked! I don't know if it was because Millie didn't nap at school Tuesday or Wednesday or what... but I've officially made her a player at school. She's super happy. Bea's happy because she gets to eat and play with Millie at lunch/lunch recess now. I'm happy because they're asleep! No more laying with them and falling asleep with them and then waking up at midnight or sometime early the next morning and being stiff from laying in their tiny beds! I tuck them in at night and say: "You need to close your eyes and pretend your asleep! I'll come in and check on you in a little bit!" When I come back, they're fast asleep! Let's keep this up!

If only I could organize the mornings better.... hmmm....

My Valentines...

 

 

Happy Valentines Day from the Du Toit Girls!

I almost died last night.

I almost died last night! I watched Beatrice RUN across the driveway parking lot at dance and she nearly got hit! I swear I was just waiting to see her smashed on the floor or thrown in the air. All I could do was just stand there, holding back Millie and screaming: BEATRICE! The mom next to me yelled something and the other mom next to her said: Jesus Christ.  Lets just say that yesterday was not the best day I ever had. But She's still alive, not a scratch on her. The car stopped in time, but man it was a close one... I don't want to go through that again.

Making the change...

I'm moving the girls. I've decided. I met with the lady of the new school and looked at the facility and I like it. It's cute and small (but not too small) and literally right down the street from us. I filled out all the paperwork and turned it in and they can start in June! I'm excited and I hope they like the place!

That means I'm enrolling Bea in public kindergarten! Registration is in March, but I'm scrambling to get her physical and booster shots all caught up. My mom says that I can register at the school we're supposed to go to, but while there ask for a transfer and take it to the school I want her to go to - which would be right across the street from her new preschool! That would be AMAZING to have her go there! Then they can walk her to afternoon kindergarten and I won't have to mess up my lunch hour taking her! I really wish March would get here already! Wish me luck that things work out!
