The Show Must Go On …

It’s Friday again, which means I am headed back to the Middle School to dress teenagers for the play. I can’t lie, I’m pretty much exhausted from another week without my Hubby and severe allergies.  I hope there isn’t too much drama behind the drama tonight because I can’t handle it.

I’m loving this picture of my darling thespian.  The school paid a local professional photographer to come in an shoot all the headshots for the cast and crew of the show. They turned out quite nicely. Nice enough that we ended up purchasing some of Hannie’s shots in lieu of a regular school photo.

Here’s my girl in color:

When I look at these pictures, I don’t see a little girl anymore. And then the motherhood sadness creeps in just a bit.  So hard and wonderful to watch our kids grow and change and become the people they are meant to be.  I love it.  And I dread it.  That, my friends, is the cruel trick of motherhood:  no matter how hard we try to stop it, the show must go on.
