The Game Plan--High School Musical 3

OK--tonight is the night! I dreamed about the movie last night and woke up anticipating great things today at the movies. Maddy wore "Wildcat Red" to school today.

Have you all been praying & fasting like I asked? We really must get into the movie! Here's what we're up against, according to the confirmation email we got about our tickets:

"Please make note of the following:
SEATING IS NOT GUARANTEED and is on a first come first served basis.
Camera phones, cameras and recording devices will not be allowed in the theater. "

I've given this a lot of thought and this is what I finally came up with about 11:30 last night:

3:30 pm Start getting ready. Get diaper bag together; snacks and games for us while we wait.

4:00 pm Drop Will off at Vicki's (my M-i-L) house. Kids & I drive to the theater.

4:30 pm Park. Go in and survey the situation. Find out if they'll let us hold Michael a place in line. Call Michael and let him know what's up.

4:45 pm Take cell phone back to car. They will not let you bring it into the theater if it has a camera on it.

4:55 pm Assume position. Take our place in line. Yes, this is 2 hours before movie starts, but we are committed fans! Play Uno, color, eat goldfish, play I-spy a bazillion times, befriend other fans, make note of things to blog. NO DRINKS. We will not leave our place in line to potty.

5:45 pm Michael joins us in line.

6:45 pm Seated in theater with popcorn and a big Diet coke.

7:00 pm Take a deep breath. Relax. Show's on!

9:00 pm Come home and blog a non-spoiler revealing review.

OK, so that's what I want to happen.

Here's what I DON'T want to happen:

3:30 pm John's bus is late; busdriver gets lost in our neighborhood.

3:45 pm Find John in the next subdivision over.

4:00 pm Will has blow out diaper. Must bathe him head-to-toe. Must change my clothes as well.

4:30 pm Take Will to Vicki's. He has a separation anxiety moment and won't let go of my neck.

4:45 pm Drive to movie theater. All lanes blocked on the highway except one. They're paving.

5:45 pm Arrive at movies. Notice that line is already wrapped around Opry Mills, down the sidewalk beside Barnes & Noble and onto the General Jackson showboat.

7:05 pm Doors shut in our face. The people in front of us were the last to get in.

7:30 pm Arrive home to blog my depression away.
