elfsIt has been an insane couple of days here at the Villa.
Back in late November, Omaha ordered three new bedsets for the children and ourselves, so now Storm will have her own room and no longer share with her sister. Both are big enough, and have enough stuff, that their own bedroom is too crowded. Omaha and I haven't needed room for either of them in our bed on a regular basis, so we're swapping the king for a queen, which will give us room to move our clothes, which we've been keepinf in the space bedroom, into our own, and Storm can move in and make the spare her own.
But this means that the spare room must be cleaned, and Storm must move her stuff into it. We also got rid of their bunk bed already; we gave it to a couple who was freaking out because one of them had just won temporary custody of his kids and needed bedding for them by Monday, so there was a flurry of activity to break the bed down and get it into their SUV.
Kouryou-chan had rehearsal Friday and Saturday, and so did Omaha and I since we're on stage again. Sunday we had our D&D game, and Storm had her own performance for The Grinch Who Stole Christmas, so there was coordination madness as we tried to get everything done.
Monday, there was the dress rehearsal. It did not go as well as planned, but we all looked marvelous and not nearly as dorky as I'd feared. Omaha looks better than I do. I know that Kouryou-chan and her peers have to wear the lipstick and eye shadow so their faces are clearly outlined and visible to the people in the back of the auditorium who forgot their spectacles, but up close on stage, it just looks a little creeptastic.
Somewhere in there I spent time on the roof of Kouryou-chan's school, one of our shovels broke, I had to get under the kitchen sink to replace a leaking feed line. And a full-time work schedule. Can I have a break soon?
