I'm probably the only Drama/Communications graduate from my college that manage to avoid stepping foot onstage! I'm glad you were able to overcome your stage fright. Maybe I'll add that to my list of things to do now that the Baby is in kindergarten: audition for a play. NOT! ;-)Elle*Beehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10604921872829122749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27598861.post-5243503714136992712007-08-21T11:34:00.000-05:002007-08-21T11:34:00.000-05:00It is a huge balancing act and sometimes it feels ...It is a huge balancing act and sometimes it feels like I've dropped EVERYTHING!

And I have to make myself stop and savor and treasure the moment I have been given so that it isn't lost to me forever. <BR/><BR/>And I'm almost certain that I will end up on medication of some kind because I have a teenager that is pulling from my grasp more and more every day, yet I still have that sweet three year old who chokes me with his hugs while he smothers my face with his kisses. The emotional see-saw is a killer sometimes.Miss Hopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07570326989323177520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27598861.post-71366498641708120822007-08-21T08:38:00.000-05:002007-08-21T08:38:00.000-05:00I know.
