Well, I don't know what you'd call my life right now. Crazy. Busy. Off the chain. Out of control. Whirlwind....You choose. Feel free to leave me a comment so I can accurately describe it two words or less.
I continued to work this week. I was able to take Friday off. While the oldest was still in D.C. partaking in the sights and sounds of our nation's capitol from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily. The boy had to get to swim lessons (thank goodness for my mother-in-law for this and just because she's good people and loves me and my kids). The youngest had horse camp all day every day (and we threw in having a friend spend the night) and recital practice three nights this week (ok, only two but I accidentally took her when she didn't need to be there, better than not taking her when she was supposed to go, right?). The oldest had dance rehearsal when she returned. Then, today was dress rehearsal. Did I mention I help back stage for two shows? I like it, except for the heat, the noise, the less than positive attitudes (more from parents than kids), the people not following instructions (both parents and kids), the hunger, the running, the headset digging into my ear...But, don't misunderstand, I wouldn't do it if I didn't like it. I like knowing that I can help to run the amazing show our studio, and my kids, put on. I like that I have some experience and can share that, if you're willing to listen. I like that, even though my own kids don't always listen to me, other peoples kids tend to listen and I'm good with them. In fact, I'm better to other people's kids than my own. I need to work on that. I like, that in this environment, I've made some really good friends.
And that, dear reader, is the least of it. I start my first class in Educational Leadership, a three-week class, starting Monday at 8 a.m. I won't get home from recital until after a 12 plus hour day which will start about 9. Well, 8 if you count getting the girls ready before I leave. Back to the class. I have an assignment due the first day. Have I done it? What do you think? Of course I haven't! And I don't know how I'll have time now. That's why I'm adding blogging to my day. I needed one more thing to do. Also feel free to comment on what the *mmmm my artifact should be that reflects my philosophy on education. Good grief! How am I going to pull this one off?
Tell me, please. In two words or less.
*The boy told the oldest this week: "What the mmmmm? I say mmmmm because I don't know any cuss words, hence the mmmmmmmm."
