I'm glad to read that you had an encore performance at home.<BR/><BR/>However, I must let you know that this further proves the need for moms to sleep in their clothes. And to also have the ability to manipulate the time-space continuum. So good luck with that :)The Over-Thinkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15027583884045527896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21957679.post-40638795931331619082008-06-01T11:35:00.000-05:002008-06-01T11:35:00.000-05:00thewishfulwriter - i know. i think everyone wante...thewishfulwriter - i know. i think everyone wanted to cry. it was sad. but yes...there was a video and yes we have watched it. she did great!<BR/><BR/>heyjoe - i know. it did suck. and ag is fine now. it was short-lived sadness.<BR/><BR/>sparkliesunshine - thanks. we have the script and plan an encore performance at home!<BR/><BR/>vanessa - thanks. she's ok now thankfully.<BR/><BR/>michelle - thanks for the visit! i have seen so many of her things over the past 6 years, and i know there will be plenty more! it was just one performance.Nataliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01225456755011937217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21957679.post-6273147451018099992008-05-30T21:55:00.000-05:002008-05-30T21:55:00.000-05:00That's so sad... and so sweet at the same time!

When I heard AG call you on the office phone, and realized it was actually the time she was telling you to be there, I cringed. Wish I had thought to do some kind of song and dance and entertain everyone for the 10 min. to hold the program off. But anyway, just wanted you to know that it touched me that you were sad along with her, and I also want you to know when I read the comments already posted here, it also struck me how much I appreciate that you didn't turn the event into a blame game on others. Thanks for so often extending grace to others.Thanks for having a good attitude. You will be missed here-SaraSara Campbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16533905627525393858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21957679.post-58166175921437034912008-05-30T11:28:00.000-05:002008-05-30T11:28:00.000-05:00Same thing has happened to me...several times.

They do have paper and pencils in Turkey, right?<BR/><BR/>You did everything you could, based on what you were told... Time will heal it for AG, when she is older and getting married, you can give a speech about how you were on time for the wedding, unlike her reader's theater.... {grin}<BR/><BR/>Feel better and know you are loved!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21957679.post-11446239850028884802008-05-30T07:05:00.000-05:002008-05-30T07:05:00.000-05:00Oh that's making me cry!
