Trying: Listen to Your Mother

The past few weeks have been overwhelming for sure. I am still finding remnants of paint in my hair from painting the upstairs bathroom, I have also been doing the regular day to day. While I'd like to say that my house is immaculately clean and I cooked a home cooked meal every day and all the laundry is folded an put away, I cannot say that today. I might be able to say that Monday, but not today. Life has been too busy and too good to worry about laundry.

Why is life good?

My kids are healthy and happy, Brian has a little time off work, and I have been busy with some projects. 

Also, a few weeks ago, I submitted an essay to the producers of Listen to Your Mother Chicago which you can learn more about here. While I was hopeful, I feel like my writing is still in the early stages and was understanding that there are some more eloquent people out there. 

Then, I got an email in my inbox asking me to audition.

So, I practiced, I dressed up, and I gave it my all. 

Then, I got another email.

I am a part of the 2013 Chicago Cast of Listen to Your Mother! 

I am amazed and overjoyed  and extremely honored to be a part of this show. 

I am a person who overthinks things and sometimes is afraid to try. I tried, and I am so very glad I did. 

For more information about Listen to your Mother, you can check out their National Website here or watch past shows here.

Today, I have to try and get some laundry done. Hopefully, that will be as big of a success. 

Happy Weekend, Readers!
