And here we go beginning with the morning. Morgan woke up late, didn't have time to do her hair how I wanted to in preparation for the audition right after school. I dropped her off at school and went to meet Dan at the gas station where our friend Ryan works to get my car smogged for registration.
I picked Dan up and we went to run some errands while it was being smogged.
I thought I needed a different shirt for Morgan's Dodge audition tonight and I also wanted her Zed card printed out. Her management company has been slacking on this and I didn't want to go to another audition without it, especially with H&M tomorrow.
I had them email it to me and I called my sister to see if she could put it on a cd so I could take it somewhere and get a few copies printed.
So off we went shopping, picking up my sister, and dropping dan back off at the gas station to pick up my car.
So now here is something pretty stupid to write about but it played into my day. When I went shopping the first time, they gave me a pair of shoes that I didn't buy, and didn't want. So after my sister and I dropped Dan off we went shopping again, to give back the shoes and then my sister (who has now been dubbed Morgan's "stylist") managed to find something way better than what I picked out.
Then we went to print off copies of her Zed card and headed to pick up Morgan from school. Might I add that this whole time, since 10am, my fantastic and amazing baby boy has been sleeping in the car.
He didn't wake up until almost 2pm.
We picked up Morgan from school and headed home to get ready to go.
We decided on an outfit, threw her in the shower, did the hair, grabbed everything we needed and headed out.
Since we have started doing these auditions we haven't been eating very well. We've been running and gunning and haven't preplanned enough. This time was no exception.
We got to the audition location early (santa monica) and grabbed some food, Arby's. My sister claims she eats the worst when she's with us and after this weekend I vow to be better at this whole last minute audition planning process we have been thrown into.
We found a place to park, which is always tricky for thse things.
We walked in and noticed quite a few people waiting. I signed Morgan in and she had a seat to wait for her turn.
One of the ladies helping with the casting introduced Morgan to her fake brother, sister and dad. You should have seen Morgan's face. I had to explain to her that it was just for commercial purposes and that we weren't giving her away or anything. (my fault for asking her when she's bad if she would like to go live with another family, woops).
She got along great with Ryan, the fake brother, who she thought was cute.
They called the kids in along with the first fake dad.
Then they kept Morgan in there for two other fake dads. Which could be a good sign.
After that we left and spent about an hour and a half in traffic.
We made a quick stop at Panera for a "snack," and then our stylist, aka my sister, decided what we had picked out for the H&M audition tomorrow wasn't good enough and that she could do better.
Well could she do better with only 10 minutes? Because after arriving at Ontario Mills from Santa Monica on a Friday during rush hour, thats all the time we had before they closed.
We spoke to the people there and I think they cut us some slack and let us stay a little past closing.
My sister found some amazing alternatives and we headed out of the mall.
We didn't really share with anyone that we were making another shopping stop for fear we would be perceived as CRAZY! But Morgan fixed that. She spoke with my mom on the phone and told her we just got kicked out of the mall because it was closing.
SIGH
So after arriving home by about 10:30 I got Morgan in bed and prepared for tomorrow.
Dan and I fought about who was going to get up with Daniel based on who had the longer and harder day today and who had the longer and harder day tomorrow. We fell asleep without coming to a decision.
