Update on this Overworked Steff

I just rolled out of bed about five minutes ago, debating at first the merits of sleeping another hour. I've instead decided to get up and do a lot of stretching and relaxing before I throw myself headlong into the fray once again.

Today I work another 6-7 hours, which will take my work week up to the 70-hour range now. I don't do overwork well, but I'm managing. I sleep, eat, and work this week.

It's the last weekend of insanity at the school. The next week will still be crazy busy, but then it gets into a much more manageable pace for the short-term. This weekend involves getting some 300 kids their chance to dance/perform in front of a packed theatre. We've had two major productions this weekend, with the second one happening today. I'll be watching about 150 3 - 7 year olds in a large room as they try to contain their boredom for several hours while performing for about 15 - 20 minutes in that time. By the end of today, I'll be a shell of myself. It'll be awesome, too, 'cos the kids are hilarious, but if there's any way of getting the universe to rubber stamp its approval of my choice to be childless, this is it, dude. Heh.

So, if you wonder why I've been writing completely pointless shit this week, it's because I've been at a fever pitch for about 10 days now and my mind's been approaching themonuclear-meltdown phase.

Yesterday I overslept and didn't get a chance to have a coffee before working with all the kids. FUCK man. Worst headache ever! First priority's coffee today. :) Caffeine-deprival headaches... HO. Horrid things!

Tell you one thing, you've never seen a cuter bunch of kids. That's the great part about today. They're all SO proud and SO happy they get to be "stars" for a day, and I'm an important part in making that happen. And that's always nice.

Tomorrow's a day off and my goals are only to shop for good food and to write something, so check back then.

Once more into the fray, dear friends. Once more!
