Identity Crisis: When you’re Feeling Pulled
Life is shifting gears with the onslaught of school and the inevitable scheduling changes. Our family is neck deep for the next three weekends reaping the fruit of our rehearsing labor with the productions of The Wizard of Oz. One plus, is that no more staying out really late for rehearsals (One night we got home at midnight!) since crazy tech week is over. Downside, school’s started and we’re all exhausted! But the IDR (invitational dress rehearsal where we invite the local shelters to watch for free) was a success and it feels so good to bless people and treat them to what could be their very first live theatre experience.
Getting back to identity crisis! I’ve been so busy with the play, and planning for my first year of teaching REAL school, and planning my daughter’s trip to North Carolina to be on the Raggs show (post IS coming I promise) that I’ve neglected other areas of my life including my routine exercise (my body feels the effects!) laundry and cooking, and writing.
So while I’m currently in actress, chauffeur, babysitter (I get the privilege of watching nine 5-10 year old little girls in the greenroom and TRYING to keep them quiet,) teacher mode, I feel like I’ve dropped the pen, so to speak! Not to mention I don’t even have a homeschool plan for my own kids. But surprisingly I am NOT stressed. I’m taking ONE event at a time while other things like my blog design and WIP go neglected!
I know a routine will fall into place and I’m choosing not to be stressed. I’ve given myself until after the play to get my homeschool plan together and house in order, but then it’ll be time for ACFW conference and I’m a little nervous about that because I feel so unprepared and I don’t have time to get prepared with all that’s going on!
Oh why do I thrive on chaos! So thanks for sticking with me while I try to figure out who I am and what I’m supposed to be doing. Right now, I’m in lazy mode and it feels good! Got to sleep in and work on blogging and emails while fighting a headache! Call me lazy, go ahead! I’ve earned the title!
