My NK Drama kids ROCK!

It's me, Lindsay. I know i've been MIA the past few posts but I have an excuse...I've been crazy busy and just haven't had a moment to update all of our amazing readers about what has been going on in the life of Lindsay! I apologize, please forgive!

Have any of you spent three months working so hard to perfect something you care about? That is what I have been doing. It was NK Drama season and with each year, it brought me stress, insomnia, tears and most of all the most incredible experience of my life. It always ends up being a whirlwind of activity and emotions and as much as I complain about it, it is the most important thing to me and is something I look forward to every day.

This year we put on a production of "Camp Rock: the Musical", which was something so far away from what we have done in the past. I wanted to get away from the Disney Princess shows and do something fun and different. It was a challenge and a lot of hard work, but in the end it was totally worth it. I know I gave everything I had into this year, and I can say with almost 100% certainty that my kids did the same.

The performances went up Saturday (6/25/11) and Sunday (6/26/11) and both days were so great. There was so much dancing and singing that it was hard to get bored, which is a great thing. I can't even express to you all how proud I am of my kids! They just surpass all of my expectations of them and their talent floors me.

At the end of the Sunday performance I was called up on the stage, as per usual and was given flowers. Something unexpected, they framed a poem for me, which was beautiful and so sweet. All of my kids signed the matte and Michaela read it to me as I tried my best not to cry. Then all 82 of my kids gathered around me for a huge group hug. <3 <3 <3

These kids mean the world to me! I don't know what I would do if they weren't a part of my life.

Fire Island 2011

I went to Fire Island once three years ago. It was everything I thought it might be. It wore me down. That wasn't a bad thing, but even at three years younger it wasn't who I was.

This time I was in charge. Who doesn't like that? I gathered up a few friends and took the ferry over (in the rain). I waited three years to return and it was going to rain? I didn't think so. But the forecast said rain.

We watched the A list and a housemate cooked dinner (it was good food!). And then I contemplated buying a sweater because it was so cold.

But when the bill to legalize gay marriage became a law (well we still need it to be signed and we need it to be a federal)... but it's a start. How stupid does California look now?

But I didn't buy a sweater. And the next day the sun came out. And it never left. It wasn't humid. There were no bugs. I got more color then I ever have.

It was just nice to be disconnected from everything. It was nice to be relaxed. The drama was non existent. I probably ate too much pizza (no I did). And I didn't find a boy. But it wasn't about that. It was about me and hanging around people who are fun and a positive influence.
