Anyone ever ...

feel like they're going to jump out of their skin? Boy, the anxiety is hitting hard today. I'm not quite sure why, but I am jumpy and feel as if I am going to jump out of my skin. My hands are shaky and I'm seriously anxious.

The worst part of my feelings today is that I don't even know what has triggered them. I was fine when I got up and the anxiety has gotten worse throughout the day.

ARGHHHHH!!!! Why can't it be Friday?

Everyone keep positive thoughts for me!!!

What I've Been Up To

Well, it's been a crazy few weeks and I haven't been feeling great the last couple of days. Then, I started thinking about everything I've done in the last few weeks. I thought I'd just do a calendar review:

February 11 -- Job Fair
February 12 -- School
February 13 -- Job Fair
February 14 -- Engineering Curriculum Writing at VDOE
February 15 -- Engineering Curriculum Writing at VDOE

February 18 -- Teacher's Workday
February 19 -- Back to school and recovery from being out most of the prior week
February 20 -- School and chauffeur to friend shopping for French exchange program
February 21 -- School during day and class in evening
February 22 -- School and chauffeur to friend whose husband caught the flue and was in charge of the French exchange program
February 23 -- Back to school to help out with the French exchange welcome dinner (set up and dinner)
February 24 -- Back to school to watch "The Wiz"
February 25 -- School
February 26 -- School

Whew! No wonder I feel tired. It's been an emotionally draining time as well. I've tried to take some time for me, but it just doesn't seem to be working out. The positive thing is that the French exchange program is going well and everyone seems happy. So, I'm glad I could help out this past weekend.

I am looking forward to this weekend. I'm going to visit my godson and we're all going to a Cirque du Soleil show. My friends and I have decided to not do "birthday" and "Christmas" for us (the adults). We'll just find other events we want to attend and go. This is our first event of the year. I can't wait. I've been to one Cirque show before, but each one has a different theme. I can't wait to see how this one is.

I haven't had much time to scrap but I'm hoping that will change soon. My eye is on Spring Break at the end of March. I can't wait for some down time. I am making it my goal to complete my scrap room renovation and post a few pictures.

In case I don't get back to post this week, everyone have a good week and I'll chat with you soon!!!

The Wiz

We finished the spring production of "The Wiz". It was wonderful! The technical effects were great. The costumes were beautiful. And, the acting was incredible. I always love our spring musical, because so many students within the school participate. Our theatre productions are all student-run. The students run the lights and sound. They are the stage crew. They make the costumes. Of course they are also the actors. We have a student stage manager and a student house manager. What a wonderful way to spend a Sunday afternoon.


The pictures in the slide show were taken after the last performance of the show for this season.

I'll post later to give an update on what I've been doing for the last two weeks.

Just a Quick Note

I feel as if it's been forever since I posted on my blog. When I started this endeavor, I wanted to make sure that I made it a priority. Unfortunately, I have allowed other things to get in the way. Sadly, I probably would have felt much better had I used my blog to air some of my feelings.

I have to say that I received a PM yesterday from a scrappin' friend and it was such a wonderful surprise. It made me smile, and I haven't done much of that lately. It made me realize how much my online friends mean to me. There are days that I get an email from a friend simply forwarding me a coupon from a craft store. Or, there are those days where someone will make a comment on a layout that I've posted somewhere. Each one of those moments is important to me.

So, while I don't have much time to write a lengthy post right now, I did feel it was important to let my online friends know how much they mean to me!!!

Hugs and love to you all!
