I came home from rehearsal late last night, and headed straight for my son who had forgotten to do his homework in the afternoon. We sat up until he finished what he could, and then I crashed on my couch.
I have been incredibly tired the past couple of days, but I've decided that it's not a physical tiredness, but an emotional one. The one act play is draining me. Sapping my energy. I struggle to get through it, and to not let the kids see that it is pulling me down.

I'm pretty frustrated with the oap right now too. From kids showing up late to rehearsal (almost all of them straggle in about five after) to other issues ("I'm supposed to play pep band tonight"; "I want to watch the gymnastics meet/basketball game"; "we have a cheerleading routine at halftime" [this last one is the night before our first contest]). I guess it all boils down to a lack of committment. I had the mother of one of my actors, tonight after school, ask me if practices always had to be at 7:00, 'cause her son wanted to be able to attend some of the school's sporting events. While I sympathize, I said, yes, because we can't get into the area where we can practice after school because that gym is used for other things (i.e., basketball practices and games for elementary kids). She said her son probably wouldn't do it again (be in the play, that is). I didn't respond, but wanted to say, "Good, 'cause I probably wouldn't cast him again."
Ain't it fun, though?
