Dan is on his way to O’Hare right about now. Tomorrow when I get off of work I will head straight to the airport to pick him up. I am so excited. Really, I am not sure how I will be able to sleep tonight or get through the day’s work tomorrow.
The next three weeks are going to be amazing. His approaching visit has been a major motivation in my life. Every morning when I wake up I get out of bed thinking one less day till he gets here. Things have been really stressful at work so I need that motivation for sure.
These past few weeks have been rough. We have been getting ready for this Drama Festival that is taking place this week. Over the last 5 or 6 weeks I have been trying to prepare two different classes of mine to be ready to preform a play in front of their parents. This has involved writing and adapting suitable dramas for 6yr olds, getting them to memorize their lines and actions to go with, making costumes and props, and choreographing dances for them to do while they sing Christmas songs. Not easy, let me tell ya. Especially when you have bronchitis. Yuck! I’ve had it for over three weeks and its made the whole drama ordeal into quite the test for me.
I’m just glad Dan is on his way to me. Everything will seem right again soon.
I’m not sure how Swiger, my Drama teacher through High School did it play after play after play. Amazing.
Bahia, love, I hope you feel better soon. Soon all the drama over the festival will be finished. I’m sure Dan’s arrival will be powerful medicine for what ails you. Take care~
though it is adorable to imagine you wrangling all those kiddos around, after a while of laughing it could even make me want to maybe cry.
is he there is he there?!
This is such a sweet post. It reminds me of the time that Lev came out to Boston for Thanksgiving my first year here, and I was so excited I printed up little flyer-invitations saying “Lev is coming!” to invite all my labmates over for tea and scones and to meet him. They still tease me about it sometimes. But it’s a good thing to be so excited about seeing loved ones again.
I hope you feel better and he arrives safely and the plays go well! Love from afar!
