(ME!!!)
...okay I know this is not discovering a cure for anything...
or even an Oscar....
But it was to me
it IS
HUGE to me
It was JUST what the Doctor ordered...
I was so grateful to feel JOY after a pretty
well
"JOY-LESS" stretch.
I had a smile on that hurt my face...for hours.
My face hurt.
I was bursting...I could not reach my husband..everyone was at work
the kids were still at school...
WP asked that I wait until the Article came out
to post the news on my blog....
...Who could I tell??

WP asked that I wait until the Article came out
to post the news on my blog....
...Who could I tell??
I had to go teach my Elementary School Acting/Improv class..
I told the students that if they were good I would tell them my Good news...
....so at the end of the class, one of them said...
"So were we good?"..."So can you tell us your good news?"
....and so I told them...
and they jumped up and down
screaming and shouting
"YAY! YAY!"
and then one kid said ...
"What's the Washington Post?"
...keepin it real....
A lovely interviewer from the Post and a super cool photographer came last Friday...
Phoebe's room has never been so clean!
She even got to come home from school to be in the photos...
