The Bridge is Mine

Audrey has been displaying a very creative flair lately -- both in her dramatic abilities and in her writing.

The drama, I could do without.

She has recently concocted a series of "illnesses" that get more and more alarming with each incident. This is all in an effort to yank me out of work so that I can take her home and thereby get her out of school early.

I bought it the first two times. I mean . . . what else are you gonna' do when the school secretary calls and tells you that your daughter is sick and wants to go home? However, by the third phone call in as many weeks from the school office, I was done. I don't even remember what the first two illnesses were but the third call was about her "arm hurting." There was no accident or anything . . . her arm just started hurting. Oh geesh. Thank goodness the school nurse wasn't buying it either and Audrey stayed in school that day.

The very next day, we got a call that her hips were hurting.

Seriously??

At least she is venting her creativity through music and dance in a much more positive way. Not only is she heavily involved in her tap and ballet classes on the weekends, she has also taken to music-writing like her Dad.

She recently composed this beautiful song. I hope to get a video of her singing this song and will post it soon.

She has plans for many more songs. She commented that she wants to make a "CD of 29 songs." That is -- if her injuries don't get in her way.

This is truly very creative and lovely. So glad she writes. What a joy. And as for the "illnesses/pains", that too is quite creative.
Must teach her to walk it off.
