Weird Friends, Family is Good.

Friends can be a glimpse of heaven.   Family is downright heavenly.   Jason and my son arrived!   My son was passed out last night when they arrived.   Thankfully we have a set of wheels that attach to the car seat, so Jason just wheeled him along asleep like a piece of luggage.   My son feel asleep about 150 miles out from the airport.   It was so good so hold my husband when I talked to him.   The sheer excitement in my daughter's voice when she saw her brother and Daddy was priceless.   Our situation is a bit odd and trying, but we are determined to stay connected during this season. 

Today, we divided and conquered the kids.   My husband took my daughter to the set.   I got to hang with Buddy all day.   We watched church online.   Then, I taught him how to ride his new scooter.   We practiced by scootering over to the park.   He played in the sand for a while.   I pushed him on a riding toy for a few laps, until my hamstrings started to burn.    We came back and he took a bath.   We spent the rest of the day playing cars, blocks, Legos and Go Fish.   My daughter had a lot of waiting time on set today, so I am sure she and Daddy got lots of quality time.   I sent them with cards, UNO, and books. 

I am cooking for four tonight and it feels great!   Expect them within the hour.   Nevermind, my hubby just called and it looks like they are not wrapping her for the day anytime soon.   Boo!   I'll keep it warm for when they do get here.    

My daughter was supposed to have an audition this evening, but she is missing it because filming is running over.   The great thing about having a manager is that I called her and told her the situation.   She will deal with the agent see if they can get her in another time.    I am so glad that we have her for that.   Many people ask if we have to play our agent and manager.   They get paid when we get paid.  There are no upfront cost associated with them.    Our upfront costs include headshots/resume creating and printing, clothes used to audition, and gas money for the car.   Of course, since she is working out of L.A. now we also have living expenses.   I am a little disappointed that she is missing this audition.   It looked to be big.   We would have needed to sign a NDA (Non-disclosure agreement.)   In other words, you can't talk about it, blog, FB or sometimes even list it on her resume.   Some big advertising companies do them.   As I have chronicled this week, God is in control and intimately involved in our lives.   He knew this would happen and I will trust him in that.
