"Mommy, you rock!"

I've got it in writing, on an evaluation form, no less. I officially "rock" according to my kindergarten daughter!
This irreplaceable, suitable-for-framing document came about in this way:
I ring handbells with a semi-pro auditioned community group. It takes a great deal of time and commitment, but every semester we pull together a concert program of varied, challenging repertoire. We've just finished with this spring's concerts, and my husband and daughter attended as they always do.
Mommy undergoes quite the transformation on performance night. These are among the few occasions that I actually pull out the makeup and the curling iron. Then there's the tux shirt & bow tie, the sequined vest, the white gloves -- and the onstage actress/musician persona emerges, so different from the daily mommy-routine of scrambling to pack the backpack and nagging about brushing teeth.
