DRAMA, DRAMA, DRAMA

Ok so it is 2:48pm and my whole body is itching like mad and NO I don't have jolly scratch... I think it is nerves. My cousin Paula's window got smashed last night and they stole a litlle fountain she bought for her pet bird called "Patroon". Thank God she is all right, but we are still in shock! I'm drinking Rooibos Tea with honey, and I must say the itching has stopped a little.

You see I am a Speech and Drama teacher at a high school, and I get a bit stressed-up sometimes. Don't get me wrong I LOVE teaching and Drama is my all time passion, but I think if you don't set boundaries, you can get caught up in JUST acting and directing work, which is sometimes extremely draining.
I'm directing the high school play, and I love doing it. It is the cutest play and the kidzzz are so talented we are having so much fun. I am having so much fun. Acting or directing is a form of therapy. I forget about everything that seems to remotely bother me. I create my own little Utopia, and just go mad with the kidzzz. Sometimes I wonder if they think "this girl is stark raving mad..." MMM, I'd rather not ask their opinion on that one...
The "acting bit" of the play is covered and now I must look for decor and costumes etc. And I think that is why I'm itching so much, I don't know where to begin. You know I dream about my play at least 3 times a week! Hectic!!!!! My poor husband Henry can't keep house with me!

But if everything feels as if it is going to explode I turn to my faithful God. He is so amazing! When I talk to Him about all my ideas and dreams He answers them in miraculous ways. In His time...He makes all thing beautiful in His time...
To conclude I want to thank God for being my muse in times of total creative dryness. Oh gosh, and does He give the greatest ideas...
Till next time

Voyerism vs Facebook -Never too late to investigate!!!

I am so excited! I was able to create my blog all by myself!!! And that takes doing because when it comes to "computor stuff", I can do word and a bit of excell. Stop. Nothing more! I went off facebook because I think, um, I became a "Voyeurist". Big word for a firts blogg post huh!

I think there are certain personalities that just do not go well with facebook. Facebook followers, become obsessed, overindulged and it becomes their way of life, you know, its like brushing your teeth, (for most of us). It becomes such a way of life we get addicted to it. (Well at least me). I think there must be a rehab for ex-facebook users... I loved to snoop around people's profiles and photo's and then feel so much better about myself! The1999 school hunk is turning bold and has a "boep", the hottest girl in school looks drawn and old and has a "boep" of her own... (if you know what I mean) So I thought to myself! Break free! Live your own life! And I must say the simple life is great. It is 2:55am and I am very tired! Till next time! And remeber - ITS NEVER TOO LATE TO INVESTIGATE
