Thumb Twiddling

What to do...what to do?

Here I sit at the computer. 4:23 on Wednesday. 2 weeks, 1 day until opening night. Lots to do. Lines still not quite where they need to be. Dances still not quite where they need to be. Songs still not quite where they need to be. Why am I not at school in rehearsal? Well, I canceled because a) 15% of my cast is either sick or at the big state music convention, and b) because during 7th hour it started snowing/icing unexpectedly in Imperial, which means that approximately 65% of the other kids' folks were going to call them or text them, demanding that they leave rehearsal before the roads got any worse (and let's face it, I didn't want to be out on bad roads, either).

So I cut the kids loose, sent them on their way. I'm praying that they went home to study their lines and music. (It could happen, right?) I left school while it was still daylight, which is considerably better than calling it a day at 6:15 pm like I did last night (ahhh, nothing like an 11 hour work day with high school kids).

Now, here I sit. Taking a few moments of "me time" while my little people watch Sid the Science Kid upstairs, thanks to our new dvr. I'm trying to plan out the next few days, including Plan B, in the event of inclement weather either tomorrow or Friday.

There is so much that I need to be doing. Working on the programs, flyers, getting and making props, creating scene change schedules. Getting the scenery put together!!!! I'm doing none of it right now, because I'm too worried about stupid snow.

Am I stressed? No sirree Bob! I know it will all fall into place. This will all happen, everything will get taken care of.

This is what they make prozac for.
