Day 1 of Performance Week at the Gym and I think things went ok. Need more time. Need to figure out a microphone, but I hope it was a little bit of magic for the kiddos and the parents watching. The morning was rough to start with. There is SO much to do. So much to fluff. Helium Tank was a bust, but luckily Ashley was able to come in early and help take over things so I could stay focused on the important things and still get the boys home.
My favorite thing was when the parents were all gone and we gave out the awards for the staff. They are my focus. I need to remember that. If I take care of them they will take care of the parents. I have to trust that because there are too many people to take care of but if we divide it up - it's manageable.
I personally treated everyone to a Fiiz. I hope it helps them know how much I appreciate them and what they do.
I have missed writing. It is my outlet. I know I sleep better when I write it all out of my brain. I've been dreaming of performances. I've been nervous about them. Instead of celebrating what is good I always worry about making it better. I need to see the magic and not worry so much about having the perfect results. I really do want to enjoy these moments. I hope I can get better about it.
My body is tensing up in prep for summer which makes me nervous as well. Summer is it's own beast. Its so intense and packed full of constant newness it's hard to feel like there is ever a handle on it.
This job requires me to live so far ahead in my mind that sometimes I loose the ability to live in the now. For instance summer is just 2 weeks away but I am already working in my head the need to get summer schedule set and start working on the Christmas show. Crazy huh!
I think having something to look forward to will help me with this. I really wanted to have something to look forward to the end of this month but looks like David Grey on the 18th will have to do. I need to do better about having things just for me to look forward to instead of for DJ and I. Right now we might both be excited about the thought of no more projects as he is currently working on getting the tile grout finished.
One other thing I learned today is that after something like tonight I need to make time to just chill. DJ grabbed me and went to peach city and that was the worst thing I could think of. I made it through and he could tell that wasn't what was good for me and we will both do better.
Tomorrow Hazel does the pentathlon at the Intermediate school and she is so excited. DJ is going to take her in Greenie and do his best to watch for a minute. I'll do my best to see her at the awards portion and then onto a night of magic with gymnastics.
