Concert with Bono Coming Soon- Read this!:)

The last few days have been filled with a ton of things, from a dress rehearsal today, where each of the kids, and the chaperones had to do everything exactly as if in a concert. We actually had about 100 people there, so it seemed like a concert to the kids. As product manager, I have a lot of responsibilty with maing sure all products sold are inventoried, priced, packaged, and that all the money is accounted for. Although at this point, it seems quite overwhelming, I know that after a few concerts, it will become like second nature to me:) at least I hope!

Next week, we will fly to Philidelphia and the choir will be singing with Bono where president Bush will be, on Thursday, it will be on national television! It's called the Liberty Award, President Bush will be giving the award to Bono, and you all should watch, because it's going to be really sweet! It will be Thursday Sept.27, at 7pmEST (4pm pacific time) onWPVI tv 6abc and webcast 6abc.

In the midst of preparing for these huge things, which is crazy busy, because we are trying to get our choir on their feet with everything from thier clothes, shoes, performance level and then preparing products, organizing budgets, inventories, to--- taking care of children, another huge task!:) For example, today, we had hot dogs for lunch with the kids, and it was funny because one of the other chaperones told the kids at breakfast we were eating hot dogs, and they all started yelling ewwww! (hehe, they eat dogs in Kenya) so they were expecting hot dogs for lunch, and we didn't tell them:) so at lunch, i had to convince about 10 kids that the meat was actually beef and not dog:) it was fun! because these kids are experiencing so many new things, they say the funniest things! we make them clean thier plates, and poor kids, one had to eat about 3 pieces of onion, and broccoli, two foods which i refure to ever eat! oops, i just don't tell them that:) showering the kids is always a task, this is the first time they've ever taken showers.... by the time my shower duty night was over, there was about a foot of water on the floor, random girls clothes lying everywhere, and one sobbing 7 year old, who "couldn't find her panties or her shirt) and was terrified she was going to get in trouble for it! (i took her around, and in about 5 minutes, we found said missing items, but it was still a bit of a drama for her!)

So there you have it, i'm being pulled in every direction from business woman preparing my little stars to sing with Bono, :) to mommy who has to flush poo-filled toilets that girls have forgotten to get flushed!
