Christmas Program

Pre-show posing. JE has a million friends, most of whom are female. Scary.
JE singing. He loves to sing- always has- and he performs with gusto. definately not his father's genes! (Notice our friend Cameron in the foreground.)

So last night was the grade school Christmas program (duh!) Troy and his family sat in the top of the bleachers while my parents and I sat in the gym-floor chairs on the aisle. (Better for photography!) Yes- my parents sat 'together' (well, Mom sat in front of Dad and me.) And they were civil. I guess it's a start.

It was odd to be there sans husband, but liberating at the same time. No uncomfortable man sitting next to me, watching the crowd with rising anxiety, never cracking a smile or interacting with me. Looking over my head, half-bored/half panicked, stiff and unfriendly. No dashing through the crowd to get to the car ASAP, hauling the kids out by their coats. I was actually able to relax and enjoy myself.

And... Steve went home early from work from illness. He also had his first PT today for his tricep. He is, in a word, surly. Wish he was here in my bed, waiting for me, but I guess I can wait for this week-end.

Oh, and I'm not pregnant, but Jessica (Y boss) is!
