streeeeeetch!

I am feeling pulled in all directions at the moment and as a result some things are suffering. I can't think properly, I do little to nothing around the house, I am not always as tender or patient as I'd like with the littles...relationships in general are suffering, I think.
Soon the Shakespeare and all which that entails on my (and others') part will be finished and that will be a huge weight lifted. Don't get me wrong, I do really enjoy it, it's just bloody hard work to find the energy to balance everything.

It seems like it's always one thing to the next with me...but this time I have promised myself that (after doing my friend's wedding cupcakes and Maggie's birthday) I will not take on anything else. For a while.

Breathe.

rant...

Sometimes I feel like people don't take me seriously...
Two days in a row now I have had people just not turn up to rehearsal. It is not particularly easy for me to pack up both the girls and enough stuff/food to entertain them for a couple of hours and go into town. It also inevitably means that Maggie's day sleeps go out the window. Yes, fair enough, I chose to do this...yes, I did, but I am trying to make it as easy as possible for others and don't feel they are according me the same respect in return. It's not fair on me, my kids or the other people who turn up. I am being pretty accommodating, changing dates/times etc and frankly I am getting a little pissed.
People have all the information they need and can pretty much contact me any time...
I guess I just feel like people don't do this to other directors...or do they? I certainly don't.
It comes down to me feeling like people don't take me seriously.

here endeth the rant.
