My mom is in a rehab facility, big changes happening, all around us.
Boston Baron kids, will come play with us for Thanksgiving. Food to cook, and order.
Christmas cards, are ready to send, I just cant seem to find my stamps, lists, and address return stamper!! ( I may have packed them with Christmas Decorations!)
Oh my, and when am I going to decorate, and buy gifts, and go see mom, and Lucy the Lab is acting like she is 100!!! Dinah the old cat, needs insulin daily!! no one wants to watch her while we make any plans, its all good!!
Hubs is recovering from hip surgery, doing great, but can we split the driving to Florida?? We could fly, but in Atlanta, that is another 4 hour ordeal, before you ever see the airplane. It is all good!
Just thinking out loud...
Watching Hallmark Christmas shows, for a month now, to calm my chaos.
A show was on, I don't remember its name, but this little kid was trying out for The Christmas Play.
His Dad or mom, or stepparents? ( I sort of watch) ask him, what part of the play did he get. He timidly says, The Fifth Reindeer. WHAT!! I yell at the TV, that is horrible. The adults are telling him, Oh that is Comet, he is a good reindeer, blah, blah, blah. I proceed to tell this child, this is not a good part, it means that you can not sing or act, and your parents did not donate enough money to the church!! They could make cardboard reindeers!! Then I gathered my voice, after my beloved hubby may have been looking at me!! I think he was laughing, but....who knows...
Well maybe the costumes are good, and you can ring a bell, but the Fifth Reindeer. Honey, (boy on TV) this is not good. I stuck with the program, and watched all the other kids get good parts, and worried the entire time( which is my best skill) about this child's future. Finally at the end, a Reindeer child, got sick, and they gave the part to a small dog!! Rudolph, they gave to the dog!! I told the child, that this is a big lesson for him. One-he was a team player and good sport, and that is good.
Second-Dogs show always get to play Rudolph, and you are on a good team, with that leader.
God Bless this boy, he held his antlers up real well, but his tongue and front legs begged like a dog.
Its all good, isn't it?????
I was Mrs. Santa Claus in 6th grade, with the most beautiful red shoes, I had a big part.( you don't think they gave it to me because I was chunky!!!) NO...Mom said I was the best....The best fifth reindeer mom!!! What about the lead in Oklahoma, I know I can't sing, but I had Hollywood stage style!! I was the fifth Reindeer, now I know!!
Well young man, from Hallmark movie, you will be fine. Keep putting your foot in the play, try everyday, forever. Some of us just Shine, go for it.
Happy Thanksgiving week, to all of you fifth reindeers out there.
