Mini Roadshow
There isn't a heck of a lot going on. My daughter got sick with the same cold that my son had. It put her completely down for two days. She missed a math test at school on Tuesday, and we were quite concerned about her homework for the days that she missed because she works so hard to keep her grades up. It seems we didn't need to worry too much. She was able to get it all finished tonight without too much work. My wife forced her to go to school today. According to my wife she literally had to push her out the door because she resisted so much. My son is being blamed for her getting sick because he allegedly coughed in her face while laughing at her, and telling her he would get her sick. He takes responsibility for this, sort of. The stories both differ enough that we can't quite get to the truth. Anyway, enough of that.
With one child or the other child sick we have had a relatively quiet time around our house. One or the other child was mostly sleeping and staying out of the way of everybody. Wednesday evening we had mini roadshow practices for the combined activity next week (of course we will be a split ward when that happens). My son didn't want to go, but as teachers quorum president went anyway. My daughter was too sick to attend. I had to be with the deacons and the beehives to get their part of the roadshow done. We were given the story from Alma 17:1-37 which is the story of Ammon as he cuts off a whole bunch of arms. We are to try to keep the spiritual tone while putting in some humor. Two terms had to be used which are "oh snap" and "get yourself a ka-sa-dilla (with dilla being said the American way)". Of course, there are a few silly props that need to be taken into consideration. The other leaders that were there in my group tonight was Lance, and April. This was Aprils first night with the Beehives, and she had to contend with them along with all of the deacons. We had a roomful of loudmouthed, overactive 12 and 13 year olds. April was wondering what she was in for, and of course wondering if she will be keeping her church job with the split of the ward. It was loud, active and tiring. We had a hard time keeping any semblance of control with the kids. We got through it, but I was wiped out. Mary, who was supposed to be over this part didn't show up tonight. Ironically, she is the one that probably would've gotten the kids to behave better because most are afraid of her.
Well, it was good to get that over with, and hopefully, they will behave a lot better next Wednesday evening when we put it on. I don't even know how good it will be.
I don't know who came up with the idea of this mini roadshow, but I don't like it.
