Stage Fright much?

or Just another drama-filled day at the Semi-Slackers.

Today was the Annual Costume Parade for the Pre-K, K & 1st grade at Bo & Sass's school.



All yesterday afternoon, Bo talked about his costume, the parade & his party. Sassy's complained that she didn't get to dress-up for school. How unlike her. So we tried Bo's costume on him & kinda walked him through what he'll do on stage. He was pumped!



Fast forward to this morning, his costume was a fisherman & I had come up with the idea for him to hand the MC ("the funnest teacher" according the Sass) a (gummy) worm after she introduced him. He thought that was hilarious!



So I get him completely dressed his overalls, hat, etc. & he tells me his tummy hurts. I fix him some juice, but he won't eat. Momma comes over to get Baby Girl & tells him how cute he is. She doesn't get out the door good & he gets sick. After that he's fine.

Until we get to school. He plays for awhile, but when everyone arrives & the parade is mentioned, he got as white as a ghost. And I grabbed him up & covered his mouth, until we got to the trashcan. With all this flu business going around, I'm glad all the mommas had left the room to get a good seat for the parade. So we were out!

Since I'm the room mother & Sass would STROKE OUT if I missed her party too, I sped down the interstate, met momma at a gas station, hand off Bo to her, run in the store to get a Cherry Coke to take 2 Xanax & head back down the interstate. Made it back it plenty of time. I'm good like that.

After doing all my volunteer work at school & eating lunch with Sass, I call Momma to check on Bo.

He's fine. Imagine that. And has been fine ever since.

Dr. K may have to write him a script for the school's annual musical.

If you're a new reader, don't be alarmed. This is the kind of thing that always happens around here.
