Wow
And THAT'S why I've been working so hard. . .

The show last night could not have gone better - it was absolutely fantastic!  I honestly believe that no group of middle school students in their first ever musical could have done a better job.

The fact of the show winding down brought many questions and thoughts about next year. . .the most popular being "Are you doing this again?"  Most of my friends and family think I must be absolutely insane to put myself in this spot again - after all I have been nothing but stressed out and cranky for the past few weeks as our production date got closer and closer.  But here's the thing:  if I was doing this for the administrators, I would have quit a long time ago.  I'm not doing it for them, I'm not doing it for the parents, it was always for the kids.  Our middle school has very limited amounts of activities for them and I think everyone in the show wound up having a good time.  I'm not even talking about all of the kids - there are a few that I'd really like to strangle and/or smack in the face, but for those special few who work hard and give it their all, I will always be there. . .
