The fast lane!

I love my job, I really do. It's just that I sometimes miss having "me" time. That doesn't mean I get anything great accomplished, I just need some time to myself. It's how I regenerate.

Choir tour was a great success. We had a lot of fun, sang, performed, and played. I came home absolutely exhausted though and my ankles looked like an elephant's. Maybe those compression socks Amy told me about would have helped save them. I took Monday as a sick day and slept and slept. I've never slept for 24 hours before! I needed it.

Tuesday was our Region Festival where I think we did an amazing job, but the judges didn't agree. Oh well!

Wednesday, was easier, I ran errands, had my harp lesson. I don't think I told you all that I bought a lap harp! I love it! It is so fun to play, so intimate to hold the instrument close to you feel the vibrations! Maybe, I'll bring it to Washington with me this summer.



Yesterday, Thursday, we had an assembly and NHS inductions to perform at and held the first part of Acappella auditions. The second part of Acappella auditions are today, Friday, and then students will show up, pretty much for the rest of the school year. You have no idea how much I worry that I won't have enough students for Madrigals or Acappella or my ladies group. Stress, aargh!

Saturday, I might actually be able to relax a little, but I really shouldn't because I have NO clean clothes and I really should go to the temple, and do dishes and vacuum and, and, and.......

Next week looks much calmer. We are finally going to have our spring break and I have great plans to do some "me" things.

In the good news, I did go running yesterday, even though it was very cold. I only did 5 of my 6 intervals because during the 5th my right calf started to hurt, so I decided to baby it a little and stop early. I came home and put some "Icy - Hot" stuff on it and I think that was a good choice. I'll go run again tomorrow. I only got to run once last week because of tour and it will only be twice this week, but at least I'm still going, right?

I love you all! I think of you all the time. Really, I do! I'm so proud of the wonderful people you are! I can't believe that my children are so amazing! WOW!
