The rehearsal mentioned yesterday was feebly structured chaos. Only three actors were involved leaving the other fifteen. Three to act as student directors, five to run back and forth to the prop room, three to play with a classmate's crutches, two to throw bottles of water at each other and cause me to yell for the first time as a substitute. The second time I yelled came two hours later with the 7th grade choir. As I tried to keep about twenty girls quiet enough for the rest of the class to finish watching "The Wizard of Oz" I kept watch on the clock, rocked myself and mumbled, "There's no place like home, there's no place like home..."
p.s. Thank you, Denise. You are my celestial inspiration today! I just couldn't face the sewing machine this week. Diet A&W Cream Sodas, on me. If I need a reciprocating saw sometime can I borrow yours? Can you say "covet"? I want one! With a 'saws all' and a Dremel tool (including a selection of bits) I'd feel my power tool collection would be close to complete! Oh, and the Firocet did the trick. Yea narcotics!

Hi Gena! Just found your blog through Denise's. Remember me from way back when in the Applewood Ward?
P.S. Your blog is very cute! And that's coming from someone who hates Halloween!
I'll share my drugs with you any time, friend! I don't think said coveted power tool is a saws-all, however. It's my Dad's, and I thought it was just a little hand saw. I didn't know it was something to be coveted!
Glad to be of sewing assistance--especially if it classifies me as "Celestial!"
Still laughing at the mental picture of you in the choir room chanting "There's no place like home," under you breath.
Oh my goodness! Bless your heart! If I were there I would definately buy a soda of your choice and some chocolate!
Love ya, JoLynn
Ha ha, I am sorry about the junior high, I cringe to think I was one of the once a long long long time ago... they just don't know who they're messing with!... Nick covets a reciprocating saw too!
I feel your teaching drama pain! Whoa junior high- a black hole to be sure!
Bless your little boots! You wouldn't catch me dead in a Jr. High as a sub.! You are one brave woman and I'll bet it felt really good to yell. Did you really give it to them! I hope so. I have NO fondness for kids of that age after what they have done to my son. (Which is probably why I've never been the YW President!) Give me a room full of six year olds any day and they'll be eating out of my hands by noon!
I am so glad you have good friends to help you out. Wish I were there! Thanks Denise!
As my dear friend Kathy P. told me last year..."Embrace the drugs...LOVE the drugs...they will love you back!"
