Well, it has been 2 weeks now and I am just starting to get back to normal after our Churches production of The Sound of Music. “Normal” for me is having Sunday afternoon’s available for lunch with friends and/or family, Wednesday nights for “date” night with Robert. No more 3-4 hour rehearsals twice a week, the constant singing, straining my voice to do things I don’t think it knows how to do, sore throats, coughs, etc. No more learning Latin songs, Soprano, mezzo, alto, whatever other parts there were. No more standing aro
und the piano trying desperately to find the right note to start on in dead silence. No more going straight from work to dress rehearsals that last till 11:00-11:30pm (oh wait when was I suppose to have dinner?). No more wearing a habit, and a wimple, no more singing about Maria and how she is a “flibberty Jibbet.” No more butterflies (OK flying saucers) before going on stage, but wait…no more dancing backstage with my husband and our kids to “Confidence.” No more seeing Robert and his amazing talent on stage; making his fellow actors more comfortable and his ability to win over an audience and make them laugh. Picturing him 20+ years ago when we did shows in high school together and when I fell in love with him. No more watching Wayne step out of his shell and become a mean “Nazi,” Shelby dancing so confidently and elegantly in the party scene and being there for her friend helping her make quick changes backstage, no more listening to Kathryn’s beautiful voice singing a solo in Latin, Wayne and his girlfriend Jamie, dancing so sweetly together, the faces of the friends we have made, our amazing, hard working, dedicated and godly example director Jessica, our incredibly talented pianist Joe, awesome music director Shawnie…………I REALLY, REALLY miss it!
