The moment of truth

This is it. The night before. I have been waiting for this night for four years. Over the past days I have felt excited, scared, faint, nervous and sick - mostly sick. Why? Because my life as a performer begins once again. There is no other way to describe it. From here on out I will rise early, put on my makeup, gather my props, and head off to the stage.

Tomorrow night is open house.

I have been to countless looooooong meetings over the past few days that have eaten up my time completely. I know other people may be ok with them, but don't they understand?? I HAVE NOTHING! It takes time to put my stuff together. So tomorrow I will be there insanely early and spend my time stapling hand outs. Just pray I get a LCD projector. Right now I need to go to bed before the buzz wears off. The next time I blog I will be officially be known as "Mrs. Van Doren, my (son/daughter)'s science research teacher."

I hope it went alright....I totally understand your nerves. (This year will be my second, and I swear my mantra all last year was--"It HAS to be easier next year" and I'm really thinking that's true, although I have awhile before I go back.)

Let us know!
I'm sure you did great!!!

And remember, it's always okay to talk to yourself in the car on the way home. Just imagine that Chris and I are there!

I hate moving.
