Rough Day (sigh)

Okay so maybe it's that I'm PMSing, maybe it's that my job is really frustrating, maybe it's that I'm getting the 'Ready for Summer Blues'....or maybe today was just a rough day (sigh). My drama kids are supposed to put on a play next Tuesday...but they're not anywhere near ready and I'm getting sooooo frustrated about it. I keep telling myself, "Stay calm, for most of these kids it's their first time acting at all, let alone in a full production." But it's so hard for me that even after FOUR months of rehearsal after rehearsal...some kids still aren't memorized. So now I'm getting tough on them! And I feel a little bad about it, but then I think, "If I don't get tough, then nothing will get done!" Right? Uuuuughhh! It's not that I'm a perfectionist, or OCD, but come on? My friend at school calls me a "Rules Girl". Things need to get in this amount of time or I'm gonna bring out Miss Tough Guy! I think the worst part of it is, I've been working my rear end off! And my kids come to rehearsal and piddle around and then act like they don't care and it's no big deal that they don't know their cues or lines! If I were in a show and I knew I had less than a week, and my lines weren't memorized, I'd been freaking out! Why don't they care? Okay so really I just needed to vent. I know....well....I hope that they will be able to pull it together and that it goes great and I'm proved wrong. But until then, it's stomach aches and restless leg for me!
