It was prom Saturday night and I don’t bounce back the way I did when I was younger. It’s not that I was concerned about my two high school students. I knew the kids they were with, I knew the adults chaperoning the dance and the after prom festivities and I knew the parents hosting the early morning breakfast. My lack of sleep had nothing to do with worrying about either one of them. MYRNA WAGNER It is tied to the fact I didn’t sleep much in the weeks leading up to prom as decorating the gymnasium and transforming it into an island paradise was my responsibility. In the months leading up to this gig I was planning a 14-foot volcano, a 65-foot sunset, two dozen palm trees and an underwater dance floor. I would go to bed at night and wake up 90 minutes later with some new task for my to-do list. After that I couldn’t get my brain to shut off and I would sleep intermittently for the next five hours, then give up and get up for the day. When the big night arrived things had come together really nicely, but apparently the stress was too much. On a night when I should have slept like a rock, I suffered through a migraine. And the next day I had to function enough to orchestrate taking everything back down. Despite all that, I had a great time. I got to work with dedicated volunteers and took advantage of the vision of several talented artists and designers. Will I do it again next year? Absolutely.
