Today was a bad "wedding" day. I am not sure if the word "bad" is the correct word, it was just a bit stressful! The Videographer sent an email saying he wasn't able to film. However he would get other people to film. It turned out fine, he just meant that he himself is not able to film...but his company can still do everything that we wanted! Then I got an email from our bartenders. The email was written as if they just got my name and I wasn't yet a customer. So, I emailed them asking if they still had our wedding date! They assured me, I was on their calendar! Overall- it was just stressful!
For the first time I can see why a wedding planner would be handy. Doing all the little stuff. Calling the vendors, filling out the paperwork. Right now in my life everything is seeming to be a little too much!
All of the rehearsals, plus work, plus the wedding stuff...it just seems to be piling up! During any normal time of the day I can deal with everything. But there are moments when I only want to do one thing at a time! Right now in my life, I'm over choreographing. That sounds bad! However, I have been choreographing so much...I have done 19 shows & 3 Christmas Programs in the last 2.5 years! I mean, that is just crazy! 19 shows?!?!?!? Out of the last 130 weeks I have had 18 weeks where I was not choreographing! the totally nutty thing is that I was still working at other jobs! I mean...who does that? No wonder I'm burning out!
That was a lot of negative up there. Here is the deal: From now on I'm only choreographing 4 shows a year...at the most! My school show, the high school show, the other middle school show, and the summer camp! There is a light at the end of the tunnel! 9 more rehearsals for Cinderella and 13 more rehearsals for Aladdin! And then it's just the wedding...and then for the first time since 2012 I will only have one job! Here is where the light at the end of the tunnel gets even brighter...for the first time since...before I was able to work I will have the month of July off! I'm sorry what? It's amazing! So, if I can just hold it together for a few more weeks, then I will be home free!
For those of you who don't know me...I love where I work! I love choreographing! And I have loved planning the wedding! But I'm ready for the shows to end and I'm ready to be married! Over the past year I have had thoughts of "I might be really sad when the wedding is over" and "am I going to be depressed once the wedding is actually happening?". I mean, I love weddings...but these past few weeks have been rough for me. The good news now is that I know I will be okay once the wedding is over! So, I'm happy!
Now back to the wedding stuff- My list is shrinking! Thank goodness!
