It's over!!!
I no longer have a job. YAY! I'm so happy. Today was my last day working. I went to Kentucky to see Beauty and the Beast performed. The teachers and aids took the lil' kids to see it.Last night was the last night the all the cast members were together. The show was at 7 and it ended around 9:30 or 10, but I didn't leave the school until 1 or so. The show went so much better than I thought it was going to. The dress rehearsal went so bad that I knew for sure that the actual show was gonna suck, but it was great. The planning with this so bad, though. This is a professional show and it was performed by kids ranging in age from 5 to 17. To give you an example of how extravagant this show really should be, I will explain what the one was like that I saw tonight. I went to an outdoor theatre and the people that performed in this play have performed all over the country and are professionals, like they could be on Broadway if they wanted to be. And the version of Beauty and the Beast that they put on was the EXACT same as we put on. These were adults tonight performing and we had CHILDREN performing this play.
Don't get me wrong, these kids did a fantabulous job, but it was just so stressful to try to get a Broadway production put together in 4 weeks with lil' kids.
The one thing that I can say that I liked a lot better about our play that we did compared to the one that we saw tonight was out set. Our set is the best set that I have ever seen used for a production of this sort. Even an outdoor theatre usually doesn't use this kind of set. Our set was better than the one from the outdoor theatre that we went to.
I know that I have complained a lot about this job, but there are some people that I am really really gonna miss. I am gonna miss Mrs. Flannary, Mrs. Flemming, Tracy, Shane, Makayla, LeighAnn, and Samantha. And there are some of the kids that I am going to miss, too.
But even though I am going to miss all of those people, I don't know if I would do it again next year. The planning was so horrendous this year that I doubt that it will be better next year. I say that b/c some of the teachers that did it last year said that it wasn't as chaotic as it was this year. But maybe they really learned their lesson.
I have to get up at 9:30 in the morning to go to church one last time before I leave. It will be 3 weeks before I get to come back. I have to get up and go to church, then come home and finish laundry and then start packing, which has to be complete tomorrow b/c I am leaving early on Monday so I will get home at a decent hour. Then, after I pack, I have to write some drill b/c Stacey is coming over here at 7, maybe earlier if I call and ask him to come earlier.
I really really dread packing tomorrow. If I could just magically twinkle my nose like Samantha off of Bewitched and all my close be in a bag, that would be great, but that is never gonna happen....unless I twinkle my nose really really slowly as I pack my clothes. hehe! I have about 3 bags worth of clothes, but i only have 1 bag for clothes. Then I have a bag for shoes and then a bag for all my other junk that isn't clothes or shoes.
Then, as soon as I get home, I have to unpack to repack for Texas. And in the process of that, I have to start packing my stuff so I can move here. UGH! I HATE PACKING! Oh, and get this. I am going to Texas to help my sister PACK so she can move to Kansas City. More packing! Great fun! NOT!!
Well, it's 4:32 am and I should be in bed. So, I'm gonna head that way. Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers while I go through this tough and stressful time. Leave me some love!
