As part of our fund raising for the choir, we were asked to do two nights carol singing (out of a possible 6 nights) in one of the hotels in the city, for their party nights.
It was the last thing I felt like doing today, as Thomas was late home last night from a school concert, and I was pacing the floor waiting for him!! One of his pal's mam was picking him up, so we weren't sure when he'd be in. God help me, in a few years when he's out in town with pals till all hours!!!!! He was so full of adrenaline after his show that he couldn't sleep, and guess who was awake with him?? (We really need to sort out some method of communicating our middle-of-the-night-wakefulness with each other, so that we can have a chat!!!)
Anyway, I've been like a slightly wrung out, damp rag all day, so carol singing was not my number one choice of a way to spend the evening!!
It was fun!!! Great fun, in fact! Not as stressful as a concert, 'cos it was much more informal. We all just had a laugh and sang our wee hearts out....to a bunch of party-goers who barely looked in our direction! Ah well, if we even made one person smile, it was worth it!
Today I am grateful that I was forced to get off my backside and make a difference!!
Looking forward to my next carol singing night now, in two weeks time. It'll be very Christmassy by then!!
Gratefully yours.
