I guess you guys might like to know what's going on, huh? So American Idol was a bust. BUT, lemme tell you my funny story. When I went to register, I told them I was bringing my kid and the woman behind the table started freaking out. "You can't do that!" "What are we going to do?" It took her almost fifteen minutes hee-ing and haw-ing, so super-concerned about "the poor baby", before she came up with a "solution" to this overwhelming problem. I was given a handicap pass. I became, as my sissy likes to say, a "special circumstance". So I was able to completely bypass the line come audtition day, and was in and out of the audition process in five minutes. I guess that sucks since that also meant that I didn't make it to the second round of auditioning. But since I only had a 5-10% chance anyway (about 4,000 people and between 200-400 make it to the second round of auditions), it was pretty nice to be in and out instead of sitting around the entire day with nothing to show for it. So, eventhough I nothing came of it, I had a FANTASTIC time in UT. I was able to go to church with my Aunt Jeanine's family. I stayed at my GP McBeth's house. I saw cousins and friends and my kids saw their cousins and their aunts. Went to Chuck E. Cheeses. I got to visit BYU campus (a must for me) and I even was able to visit my GP in the hospital (he had knee surgery while we were down). Just fantastic. My kids drove me crazy and I vowed never to do a trip without my husband for a LONG time.
I actually came to a few conclusions while in UT that I think will improve my life. I've been working on starting a recycling company but I am putting that on HOLD for a while. I am only going to go take my children to the park and the library when without my spouse. I am going to start going out once in a while BY MYSELF and Randall and I are going to have a date every Saturday night.
Not that these rules will be permanent forever, but I'm GOING CRAZY with my three youngins right now and I need to Chillax.
Welp, that's all for now. My hubby is nearby. woot woot.
