Jackpot!

So I got many fun things at the Joann's sale and my mother-in-law and I are going to the other Joann's today because it is big and beautiful! The one I went to is so tiny and their backstock is always littering the aisles, something I hate! But it did us well yesterday because I found 10 patterns that I wanted. I got the pattern for a tree skirt I want to make one day, a pattern for a diaper stacker to match the rest of the things in the nursery, a tote bag pattern, some costume ideas for his costume next year, and a very cute bath cape pattern. The Boy is just out growing the absolutely darling hooded bath towel that I got him this time last year. ::sigh:: Where is my baby going? When patterns are 5 fo $5 you just can't go wrong picking a few up. I also got the fabric to make special Christmas presents for my nieces and The Boy. I can't wait to get started!

Today I must fold all the laundry that I washed on Tuesday. I've got about half of it folded, but there seems like an endless pile to fold. There is a lot more laundry when there are 8 people living in a house rather than just 3. That's 8 towels, 8 blankets, 8 washcloths, etc. I also need to get the house in order so that my Aunt doesn't think we are complete slobs. Something was leaking under my sink and so I have everything pulled out from under it in the kitchen and I need my father-in-law to look at it so I can get it fixed and put everything back. The Boy's room has been the stuffing place while my family was here, so I need to go in and put everything where it is supposed to be.

We had a great time at the shower last night and it made me want to have a girl's night holiday party. I am contemplating a cookie exchange party, but I haven't decided on it for sure. I do have The Boy's little family birthday party coming up, so that could kill the need for another party, but we shall see!

Oh, and I am so nervous about tomorrow! I am trying out for the Stake Musical and I have butterflies in my stomach just thinking about it. They are doing Beauty and the Beast and I really want to be in it (and secretly I'd like to be Mrs. Potts or Belle - ha, fat chance!) but I haven't had to audition for anything in a LONG time. I can't find a piece of music that I think flatters my voice and I am getting kind of frustrated, so I might peruse some music stores in the area today to see if I can find something fitting. I was thinking something from Les Miserables or The Little Mermaid. Hopefully I can find something. Wish me luck!!!!!
