First things first: I must send special wishes to both my friend Devon and my cousin Jennifer. Devon is now 22 (as of the 31st). HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEV!! I sent a card to your NNU mailbox, since I didn't have your address as of late. I figured they would forward it to wherever you are, so it should be coming soon. My cousin Jennifer recently had her first baby (on the 29th) named Kayla Bethany. I don't know if she knows, but my very first best friend (being 2 at the time) was named Kayla. We're still friends today! Anyway, Jennifer and Kayla are apparently doing very well, and my Brown grandparents have 3 sons, 6 grandaughters, 1 grandson, and 3 great-grandaughters. Hee hee!
So, in regards to this title, I've never seen a spider spin a daydream, as (I'm sure) not many other people have. However, if a spider were to spin a daydream, would it be busy? Well, if I were a spider (yes, this is an abstract stretch, but bear with me here), I imagine these daydreams would be magnificent webs of imagination in no time. I am a self-professed expert daydreamer. If it were an Olympic event, I would certainly be a strong contender for the gold! Back to the point: I'm very busy this week.
I'm actually very excited about this week, as well. Hilltop Community Church (where I faithfully attend because it is very relaxed and stimulating--a wonderful combination of qualities) is having its VBS. I'm helping with the Drama all week. Woo-hoo!
My very first rehearsal for both shows is this week. Let me get a tad sidetracked and just announce to the world that I could live for rehearsals and performing! I am INFATUATED with both of these brilliant uses of time. To the point where once (in middle school) I had an argument with my parents as I often did in those days. It escalated to such a point to where my parents decided to punish me . . . by grounding me for one rehearsal! I was livid! It certainly didn't help that my sister Jessica (who was also in the show) was the one to tell our director why I wasn't present. Apparently, she told him that I couldn't come because of "Family Matters." The whole cast heard, and everyone assumed that I had stayed home to watch that utterly pathetic sitcom! So, she had to further explain. Now, I'm not sure why Chris (the director of the show) had thought that, seeing as I had already been in a show under his direction. He knew I was dedicated to the show and would not skip a chance to rehearse in order to watch any show, let alone a really insipid one! I also have a costume fitting for both shows tomorrow! :)
Some time this week, I need to go talk to Mr. Libby, our principal. While at work, parents of some of my students have reported to me that Mr. Jordan is not returning as planned. I'm more than a little upset about that. This will mean, that not only will I not be able to work with my favorite teacher in the upper grades--the one who (I felt) was my strongest mentor this past year, but I will be the only full-time teacher returning to the upper grades! ACK! I truly hope this doesn't mean that I will be the equivelent of Department Head or something. I don't feel ready for that, nor do I think I will have the sufficient time! I suppose I shouldn't worry about that until the time approaches, but being as busy as a spider spinning daydreams, do I have much choice? Worrying does make a person feel infinitely more stressed and busy.
So, I shall hopefully be able to fall asleep now. I couldn't earlier, and I really don't have much more time to sleep. If not, I'll just read some more from Wicked, which I'm really enjoying. Work is crazy (but I get an extra dollar an hour on Sundays, so that is fine with me), so this just adds to my well stocked log of obligations this week.
Oh, and the title is a lyric from yet another Rodgers and Hammerstein song. It is titled "It Might as Well Be Spring" from State Fair. This was the only one that was a movie first and then a stage show (in the early 1990s. It flopped despite having an amazing cast and the Rodgers and Hammerstein tag attatched to it). This song won them their first Academy Award for best song.
