How the time flies!

Has it really been almost a month since I've posted here? I suppose if anyone actually reads this blog they've just about given up on me. Well, let me tell you a little about my schedule to explain why I don't blog often...

First, there's Monday. I have a Kindermusik to teach class right away in the morning. It starts at 9:30 (used to start at 9--I'm so glad for the change), but I have to be there early to set up and prepare myself. Forty-five minutes later I say good-bye to darling little Sameer and whoever else comes. Then I get to pick up my stuff. (Take down posters, pick up instruments, pack away everything into a giant Rubbermaid container.) I'll have to run some errands on my way home. Once home I need to clean house since I didn't get my chores done on Saturday--I was busy balancing my budget. I only have one lesson to teach in the afternoon. That's good because I have to finish preparing for a Kindermusik class in the evening, (hopefully) meet a friend for coffee, and do most of the prep work for the rest of the week.

From Tuesday to Thursday, I teach 30 students and attend a flute lesson of my own. Somewhere along the way, I'll check on music for a few students, prepare a mini-lesson on Gregorian chant for some others, finish placing another music order, take care of business correspondence and phone calls, work out (so I don't turn into a fat blob), and maybe even do some practicing of my own.

Friday is for working out, picking up the mess that comes from teaching all week, and Bible study. By this time in the week, I start thinking that I need to learn my Kindermusik lessons for next Monday. Saturday is for cleaning--except when I have other chores like this weekend. I might try to get to Walmart for some supplies. (Last time it took me 2 months to get there.)

And then there's Sunday. Which always goes too fast. But today I actually managed to blog a little. Hooray!!

Don't get me wrong. I love what I do. I just always seem to have more of it than I can get done. But that's life. And now I'm going to go do some more.
