I'm directing a play. The big show is tomorrow.

I've been the drama teacher at my school for the past 4 years, but this year it's different.

We're actually selling tickets and refreshments and having a late evening performance. It's kind of a big deal.

And I'm kind of freaking out about it. Because two of the main characters keep messing up their lines in practice. And it's not remotely cute or amusing.

They kind of got their acts together today, so I didn't have to be the Wicked Witch of the West the day before the play. But I'm still totally freaked.

I just have to keep telling myself that I'm always freaked before and they always mess up before but they always come through in the end.

So I'm crossing my fingers, saying about a thousand Hail Marys, and hoping for the very best.
