Thank you snow!

We were scheduled to have auditions until 6:30 tonight. Considering we started at 8:07 that morning, I was not looking forward to that. BUT it snowed a little bit around noon and FCPS cancelled all after school activities! Huzzah!
I still have not bought pencils, because who can remember that?
I could hear the squirrels in my ceiling while working on grades, so I punched the ceiling. Ooh boy, did they scuttle!
Currently I am watching The Bachelor with Doug. Though the bachelor himself is kind of boring, the girls this season are very entertaining. And Jimmy Kimmel is on this episode, which means it is more hilarious than usual. And now Doug is making mozzarella sticks, so yeah, that little bit of snow basically turned tonight from a pit of exhaustion into super happy fun times!
I learned today that Peter Pan music is really hard to sing at 8 am. And that there is no limit to the explicitness of instructions that can be ignored by 6th graders. Oh, you want to audition for the two parts that clearly say "unauditioned roles, no audition required"? Or, you didn't know there was dialogue for this part even though it has a dialogue section listed next to it on the chart? The chart you had to look at to figure out which song to sing? I worry.
A story from the past: in sixth grade, I got a part in the play where I spoke one line. Because I had a "speaking role," I didn't get to sing any of the ensemble numbers, which were saved for kids who didn't get to be onstage. However, my role was so insignificant ("Postgirl"), I didn't get to sing in any of the songs all the main/named characters got to sing in. I was pretty mad about it, and I sometimes wonder if my determination to succeed in singing was partially driven by a need to absolve this.
